A.G. Russell Knives

Using our supply of India Stag which we have horded over the past 15 or so years, Canal Street Cutlery® is producing for us a series of traditional folders under the CSC brand. These are newly tooled CSC models that will be produced first for us with India Stag.

Canal Street Cutlery® took their Moon Pie Trapper, removed the long spey blade and made it a Half Moon Pie Trapper.

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.

The Bowie Hunter is the largest knife ever produced by Canal Street Cutlery. It was designed for CSC by knifemaker D'Alton Holder of Peoria, AZ. This is a very useful integral knife with lots of sweeping curve for the belly; a great skinner and a fine camp knife.

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.

The Canal Street Canittler is a medium sized Canoe, configured as a Whittler with a 2-3/4" Spearpoint main blade, a 1-3/4" Cut-off Pen blade and a 1-5/8" Sheepfoot blade at the other end. Canal Street is making some of the most unusual slipjoint folders currently being made in this country.

Canal Street Cutlery is located at 30 Canal Street in Ellenville, NY, an early home of Schrade Cutlery. Ellenville has a long and rich tradition in knife production dating back to the 19th century. Now in their third year of operation, Canal Street Cutlery has a wealth of knife making experience and technical knowledge.

All pieces are hand assembled and finished for a true classic.

We have provided Canal Street Cutlery™ with our own highly figured Cocobolo wood and Burgundy Micarta® for handle scales on this realistically sized Bowie knife. This is a perfect size for the Cowboy Action Shooter, the hunter of large game who needs a multi-purpose camp knife and the man who just likes a full sized knife.

The Moon Pie Trapper is the third in a series of traditional folders being produced for us by Canal Street Cutlery with India Stag handle scales. This is a beautiful knife made with the same fine finish and attention to detail that you would expect from a Canal Street Cutlery design and an A. G. Russell™ exclusive.

Canal Street Cutlery is in the process of reviving many of the old pocketknife patterns. The Ring Opener is an extremely rare pattern that we have not seen produced in many years. You might have one in your collection if you collect old pocketknives.
