Tuna Valley Picture Show

[kootenay joe]

Rookie, "flush & square joint" refers to the blade tang being flush with the bolster ends in both the half stop and closed positions. Here are pics showing such a joint in a GEC # 23 pattern knife.
Does the T.V. 'Stabber Jack' have this type of joint construction ?

[Rookie]

I see. No, it definitely doesn't have a flush& square joint then. It has a continuous round 1/2 circle. There is no 1/2 stop.

[kootenay joe]

Thanks.

I was out today after lunch and took some photos of the 2015 muskrat in amber stag. These 2 turned out nicely.

Man! That's a Real Beauty!

[Rookie]

Thanks Mitch

[kootenay joe]

Is this a 2 spring Muskrat ?
kj

[Rookie]

Yep, 2 springs. 1 on each blade.

[kootenay joe]

The 2 spring Muskrat is more of a brawny work knife. The single spring Muskrat is a svelte knife, graceful looking that i think of as 'lighter' duty, but i don't know if is actually less strong.
Although i prefer the single spring design your Tuna Valley Muskrat is a very handsome knife.

Here are a couple nice shots of the Cattleman with buffalo horn.

Railsplitter in Burnt Stag

[kootenay joe]

Tuna Valley seems to prefer the big, 'chunky' patterns like the Railsplitter. Besides being a handsome knife it is a knife capable of being 'pushed' to work as hard as a folding knife can do (or be).
Are there T.V. examples of the more slender patterns like a Slender Stock knife or single blade Slim Trapper, etc. ? (only one i can find is the mini barlow, 2 blade "Tadpole")
kj

[Rookie]

The tadpole is the smallest knife they have released, and the next one would be the 2016 carpenter whittler pattern. Although 3 1/2 inches long, is fairly narrow and thin. But you are right, a majority of their knives are larger in size. The 2016 teardrop single blade is nearly 4 inches long, but it is narrow due to only having 1 blade/spring. It fits the hand really well.

[kootenay joe]

Thanks R. Have you posted a pic of the 2016 teardrop single blade ? I've looked through this thread. Did i miss it ?
kj

Oops ! i just found it, the Easy Opener Jack. It looks more 'bulky' than slender and indeed it is a pattern that is supposed to be 'well rounded' rather than skinny.

Real nice stag on the muskrat and railsplitter!

[Rookie]

Thanks Wayne! I'm happy to be able to share the photos with folks who enjoy seeing them.

the 2016 carpenter whittler pattern. Although 3 1/2 inches long, is fairly narrow and thin.

I have the TV carpenter whittler in the black buffalo horn handles that I carry often. It is hardly noticeable in the pocket and the blade configuration is very useful.

[Rookie]

Awesome knife Ralph. I always thought I was a stag only guy, but I have to admit that the buffalo horn used on the TV looks really really nice and sharp, and feels really nice in the hand.

[Rookie]

Here are a few new photos, 2014 Gunstock, and 2016 Cattleman.

[kootenay joe]

Wow, what a big 'aggressive' clip blade on the Gunstock. Tuna Valley knives definitely grab one's attention.

Rookie, those two are crazy awesome!!

[Rookie]

Thanks guys, happy I can share photos of them with others here to enjoy.

The new Tuna Valley Humpback Whittlers .
Small but pretty.

[Rookie]

Those are so cool. I saw them at the Queen knife show today in Titusville, and picked up the trio.

[edge213]

I don't own a single TV knife, but this thread shows they have to be the most beautiful knives on the planet.
