All About Pocket Knives

That's great! I don't have one yet, but hope to soon. I know there are a few other Phoenix Jack variations in the works, but the virus shutting down everything is bad timing for sure. I imagine it will be weeks or months before another release is ready. If I hear anything substantial, I'll pass along the information.

I did see that Ryan opened up a Facebook group where he will post information to directly.

Just picked a Tuna Valley Phoenix Jack with Damascus. Can't wait for mail on Monday.

Tuna Valley is still alive and well.

Nice Phoenix Jack you have Rookie

A real looker that one. Blade and handles are knock outs.

I saw this posted on the Tuna Valley FB page. Lots of varieties in the works.

Beautiful knife. I have been put off of the stag handled versions of the Phoenix because how thick and chunky the stag is. Your knife doesn't look that way based on the apparent lack of hafting on the mark side handle. Would you know if there are there thin stag examples of the Phoenix?

All that I have seen are pretty thick. If you have a preferred dealer who carries these, you could call and ask them if they have a thinner version. Some of the dealers take a shot of them from the end, so you can see the handle slab thickness.

Mine is 3/8 inch thick on 1 side, and 1/4 inch thick on the other. On my Damascus version, both handles are about 1/4 inch thick.

I just pulled the trigger on one of these, in 154-CM. Hoping the one I chose isn't too fat. I think the 3 5/8" length is spot on for a decent knife size, no buyer's remorse please!

show a pic once you get it!

Just noticed this in the #5 spot, is it supposed to be Catalina Wine Mixer? If so I guess Ryan is a Step Brothers fan too.

haha I think everyone is a fan of that one!

Will have the Maple Burl next week in my store

oooooo that is exciting!

Mine arrived today, pretty impressed with the fit and finish. Perfect centering and I'm really pleased with the stag I chose. Nice size and weight, half stop and excellent snap. I think I'll keep it.

I also got mine in the mail today. Curiously, it wasn't the one that I had selected, so, initially I was a bit disappointed because the stag handle was totally different from what the seller showed in his photos. But, after carefully examining it, I decided that I like it well enough to keep anyway, even though I still liked the one I chose more.

Much like Jerry (Ralph Alsip), I was concerned about the thickness of the stag handle; I didn't want a super fat one. The handle on the one I got is not as fat as some of the others that I've seen, so I am happy about that.

This is my first Tuna Valley knife and I am very impressed. It looks and feels just like a high quality custom handmade knife and is a joy to look at and handle. Everything is spot on: fit and finish, walk and talk, centering, etc. Definitely a great knife for the money and well worth the price.


I can't wait to see the Phoenix Jack with Mammoth Ivory handle. I just hope I get the opportunity to buy one before they're all snapped up.

Very attractive knife Q, great score!

Very nice, Q! As you said...some of them had very fat and some non-symmetrical stag. In my opinion, you got one of nicest ones I've seen!
