Perry (knifekid) Miller has graciously donated a fantastic new knife to auction off here for Johnnie Fain. All proceeds will be sent to Johnnie's widow Annettee.
The knife is an absolute stunner that sports a very cool old brand name. Perry had these made by Great Eastern Cutlery. The project was started in 2007 and it was just recently introduced. The knives are stamped 2007. The Model is the scout and it has Tuna Valley Cutlery Co. (TVCC)’s pattern number stamped on all of them, the number is 5201 (5=Stag, 2=blades, 01 is the pattern). The specs are as follows:
Total of 150 made and all are serial numbered on the front bolster. This one is number 56.
Stag handles - This one has outstanding stag!
Crest Shield
440C Stainless Steel brushed blades with no etching
Rear bolster
Brass pins and liners
Closed length is 3 3/4"
Comes with a COA that matches the serial number and is signed by Perry.
Maybe someone can post some history about the Tuna Valley Brand. I believe it has a Case connection.
??? See what you can dig up 
Auction will end next Monday evening (03-08-10) at 8:00 PM PST and I'll ship priority mail on Monday or as soon as the winner's shipping address is secured. Winner will be contacted by me on Sunday evening via PM and email for said shipping info.
