All About Pocket Knives

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 ?
kj

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.

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!

Thanks Mitch

Is this a 2 spring Muskrat ?
kj

Yep, 2 springs. 1 on each blade.

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

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")

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

Rookie, those two are crazy awesome!!

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

The new Tuna Valley Humpback Whittlers .
Small but pretty.

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

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