Canal Street Cutlery

Canal Street Cutlery is rising like a Phoenix from the ashes of Schrade Cutlery. With skills and knowledge from hundreds of combined years in the cutlery industry, this handful of dedicated and talented men are abandoning the names and cross of the 100 year old Schrade firm like a Cicada leaves its skin.

Taking the street name that fronts a 100 plus year old knife factory, they are blending the old and the new. They have all the cutlery skills of the 19th and 20th centuries and access to all of the state-of-the-art equipment of the 21st.

Canal Street Moon Pie Trapper With Amber Stag Bone

Yes, it is an unusual name for a knife. When we asked Wally Gardiner, President of Canal Street Cutlery where the name came from, he told us "because the extra large cap on the knife looks like a half moon." It is a beautiful knife, put together with the attention to detail and fine finish you have become accustomed to from Canal Street Cutlery.

Canal Street Cutlery® Ram's Horn Folders

Canal Street Cutlery®, now in its third year of operation, is producing traditional American knives in its Ellenville, New York facility. Their standard handle material is Dark Amber Jigged Bone and standard production runs are 400 pieces. In addition to standard variations in those quantities, Canal Street produces smaller production runs in other handle materials for specific companies as well as short runs to commemorate specific events.

Canal Street Cutlery® Drop Point Hunter with Peened Leather

A peen is the end of the head of a hammer that is opposite the face and is used for bending, shaping, or cutting the material struck. It is often used to fix, or flatten, the pins that hold the bolsters in place. A natural part of that process is to lay a piece of leather over the knife to protect the bolster as the pin is peened. Canal Street has taken their idea for this unusual knife handle from that process.
