This is awesome! Thanks Ed! Both the first time I've ever won anything here AND the very first Canal Street Cutlery knife for me (I've never even handled one before). It's a real beauty; I'm very much looking forward to getting it in hand. Thanks again for your generosity Ed! I guess this means I have to be in a good mood for a while -- dangit, I had a grumpy day all planned out and everything....

Well done giver and receiver:thumbup:
Very fine contributors both of them.
Very fine contributors both of them.
I got the knife today! Sweet piece of work -- especially the scales. They call it "Dark Amber Stag Bone" and they did a great job with it. Here's a couple of scans:
I'd pick this stuff over all but the best real stag. It even feels like fine stag.
It's my first CSC knife, so I gave it a good going over. Action is very good - great snap, with a moderate pull - just like I like it. Nail pulls are all placed high on the blades and are all sharply cut, so they work as they should. The "spey" blade is really very close to a spear profile - almost not a spey at all (which is very nice). A couple of oddities: none of the blades have choil notches - which some may love and some may hate; and the blades are all polished on the mark side and glazed on the pile side (paperwork states this too) - which means the back of the sheepsfoot and spey are polished -- which is a strange thing to do - old knives blades were either all glazed or all polished or they would only polish the mark side of the main blade and glaze everything else - mind you, it looks fine, if you even notice it. All the blades are decently sharp out of the box - it'd be only a few minutes work to get them as sharp as you like. No blade rub, yet all the blades are fitted together well without wasted space -- impressive in a production stockman pattern with traditional two spring, three blade construction.
The knife does have a serial number engraved on the bolster, but it's been very discretely done -- you won't notice it unless you're looking for it.
Thanks Ed -- for your generosity and for this very fine knife! It's much appreciated - I'll be fondling it for a while.
