All About Pocket Knives

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!

Now hooooooooooooold on there just a minute . . . aren't there only 30 days in September?

I'll send him an email to have it corrected. Good catch!

Ryan uses a different calendar.

That made me giggle. Poor Ryan.

Anyone know if these Phoenix Jacks were ever released?

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. LCK

Thanks for the info! I've been checking the authorized distributors with no success.

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.

Thanks!

How about now?

I saw on a trademark site that Ryan doesn't own the Tuna Valley name.

Interesting. The last time I talked with him he said he did.
That was the summer of 2019.

David Mullins since 2017.

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.

Is this the Ryan who was @ GEC?
Not a fan, wouldn't believe him

They are out now, so I believe him. Gary is a dealer and said he'll have some for sale in his store.

I thought these were going to sell for $210?

Who made them?

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.

Well worth the wait, worth the price, can't wait to see what's next. OUTSTANDING JOB TO THE DANIEL'S FAMILY, clouds and rainy day today will try and post a picture soon.
