Tuna Valley still alive!
Re: Tuna Valley still alive!
I went to the Kentucky knife show this past weekend, and got to see the 1 piece proto of this Phoenix Jack pattern. I really like the size and weight to the knife, with heavy thick slabs of stag. In talking with Ryan Daniels, he said that the blades are being ground now, and finishing touches put on, but it was taking longer than his original estimate, so he had to push the date out a bit.
The wait is the hardest part!

Re: Tuna Valley still alive!
Anyone know if these Phoenix Jacks were ever released?

Re: Tuna Valley still alive!
Howdy RR, I called them about a month ago and left a message with no return call. I then checked a couple of the distributor sites and found nothing. Let me know if you discover any in your search.

Re: Tuna Valley still alive!
I spoke with Ryan a few weeks ago. They still are not finished, but he said they are still in the works, and will be released as soon as they are finished. No ETA though.

Re: Tuna Valley still alive!
I saw on a trademark site that Ryan doesn't own the Tuna Valley name.

Re: Tuna Valley still alive!
Interesting. The last time I talked with him he said he did.
That was the summer of 2019.

As far as I know, Dave Mullins owned the name with Perry Miller when it was revived in 2007. When Perry died, Dave kept full ownership. He gave the licensing rights to the Daniels to make the knives, but Dave has always kept the actual ownership and trademark of the name.

Interesting info. Now, imagine collectors fifty years from now trying to figure out the how and the what of Tuna Valley brand.Rookie wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 3:53 am As far as I know, Dave Mullins owned the name with Perry Miller when it was revived in 2007.

I think that was for the amber stag ones with 154CM steel. I'm not sure what these are going to sell for.
Ryan said there is a former Queen employee that opened a custom knife shop. That is who is making the Tuna Valley knives for him.
