Tuna Valley Picture Show

[Rookie]

Ryan said he's just trying to get all the pieces/operations lined up and coordinated and funded. He said once the first release (the Phoenix Jack) is released and selling, everything should be pretty consistent after that. Just this first release is not coming together as quickly as expected.

I believe the main maker who is doing these has another maker doing the blade grinding, which was the hold up last I knew.

Another newer knife for me not yet shown here. I shot these images this morning.
2012 Cigar in Redbone with Dimpled Bolsters.

[doglegg]

Very lovely. Fancy might be the proper word. Great knife.

[Rookie]

Couple new shots to post of the 2012 TV Cotton King in fluted Mammoth Ivory with scrolled bolsters.

[1967redrider]

Very nice!

Any word from Ryan Daniels on the next knife to be released?

[Rookie]

Should be soon. He said to keep checking his site. He'll update the main page when he has knives in hand ready to ship.

[Rookie]

Another new one to add here. 2013 Moose in mammoth ivory with engraved bolsters.

I don't own a single Tuna Valley,but this is one of my favorite threads on AAPK.
Such beautiful knives.

[Rookie]

Thanks David! I'm happy that others appreciate it. I like the knives and have fun taking pictures of them around the backyard and the woods behind the house.

From the ashes the PHOENIX was reborn, the wait was worth what the Daniel's family delivered, beautiful Raindrop Damascus blade, outstanding Stag handles, fit and finish everything TOP NOTCH, can't say enough, hope these pictures say more than me. Adog

Some fat beautiful stag

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Very nice. I’m looking forward to getting mine very soon.

[Tony_Wood]

I love the look of these knives.
They are so...what? Natural, non assembly line, organic.

I received mine today. Very nice fit & finish, great snap!

I have placed him in his new home with all his Tuna Valley Stag Brothers

[Rookie]

That's a great collection! I've never done a big group shot of mine like that. That's a good idea. The burnt stag on this new Phoenix Jack fits right in with your others.

[Rookie]

At some point the red stag version of the Phoenix Jack will be made, that will complete your collection! It looks like you have the burnt and amber stag from every release so far.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

I received mine today. Very nice fit & finish, great snap!

Very nice group shot. There is some serious money there. Wish I had started collecting TV knives sooner.

Thanks Sharpnshinyknives and Rookie. Perry Miller was a very close friend of mine. I have several from the first series when he revived Tuna Valley Knives. They are sentimental for me.

Rookie, you are right on, I have tried to get both stag versions of all the patterns.

[Quick Steel]

Gary, The raindrop Damascus is awesome. A beautiful knife.

[Rookie]

Nice cloudy day today, so I got a few pictures of some ivory Tuna knives that I haven't shown here yet. 2012 Lock Back Trapper, and 2013 Sweybelly Trapper.
