Former Schrade President Walley Gardner and principal Joe Hufnagel joined with nine master cutlers to form a group of US craftsmen with over 300 years of combined knife making experience. The company they created was named Canal Street Cutlery (CSC) & was located in upstate New York where a long and rich tradition of quality knife making dates back to the 19th century. Unfortunately, the company in business from 2004 closed its doors in 2015, but not before making some great knives.
