Another variation. This sample is the barlow in hand-torched elk stag.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
Thanks! torching isn't a very common treatment to elk stag, I think it looks pretty nice. Most elk handles you see on knives are left the natural paler coloring.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
The now deceased Herman Williams and our own glennbad have done some wonderful work torching elk. But your right most is left natural.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
Another different one to show, an Old Man Jack sample, shadow pattern (bolsterless) and green maple burl handles, with spear blade.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
These were shown previously, but I had them out today so took a nice group shot of the 3 tadpole knives.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
Kevin you certainly have one fine collection. These are beautiful. So is that EO tear drop jack on the previous page. Hadn’t caught up on this thread for a while and I must say these TV knives have some of the best eye appeal of any knife out there.knifeaddict1965 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 21, 2026 5:17 pm Recent pick-ups of several Tuna Valleys with a Red Sea Coral Damascus Wharncliffe Excelsior and a Burnt Stag Napanoch Mortician.
