Thanks Edge! I think taking pics and sharing them with everyone is as much fun as hunting for the missing ones. There are always more to look for!

I may have mentioned this here before, but I'll say it again.
I don't own a single Tuna Valley, but this is one of my favorite threads.

Keeping with the group shot idea. This is one I took yesterday of the 6 variations of the Cigar from 2010 and 2012.

Took a while, but I finally got a nice photo of my Phoenix Jack in burnt stag with damascus blade.

I also got some shots of a nice 2017 prototype that was never made. Boys Jack Knife in Lightning Wood.

The Green Maple Burl/Raindrop Damascus makes for a visually stunning combination. So very tempting, but I'm saving my greenbacks for an Amber Stag Phoenix Jack. Any idea when they'll be released? I had heard sometime around the end of August?? ::pray::

I heard from Ryan last week. He said everything was on schedule to send the amber stag's to dealers this coming week, so they should be listed for sale online the following week. I'm eager to see how they look also!

One of the Amber/Damascus PJs showed up on eBay yesterday.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEWEST-RELEASE ... Swp91fODuG

Personally, I'm more interested in the 154CM version. Hopefully there will be some with better looking stag than the one on eBay.
