Another of the EO barlows, this one in brown maple burl. (maybe not the best background for this knife, sort of makes it hard to see/appreciate)

This is a prototype Old Man Jack in the Magic Potion acrylic handle, bolsterless shadow version.

These 2 are extra special to me. These are Tuna Valley stamped farmer's jacks, which were really on made under the Titusville Cutlery line. They were a special project for Ken Daniels, who had 5 made in stag and 5 made in mammoth ivory. He also had the classic 2012-2018 green tube label and COA. The blades are 1095 carbon, where most Tuna Valley knives were made with CM154. Ken made them for only a select few people in his knife-circle of friends, and I was lucky enough to be able to get one of each.

Glad to see you scored a couple of those Rare knives, Carl! May very well be the only Tuna Valley Farmer Jacks we ever have the pleasure of viewing. Very cool!!!...

Thanks! I was honored he asked if I wanted to buy them, as he had a few friends that wanted them too.

I haven't posted any new Tuna Valley in a while, but that changes today after picking up a 2012 Amber Stag Lock back Trapper & 2017 Mammoth Cattleman from Ken Daniels at the Lexington Show this weekend.

Beauties Kevin. Every single example of that 2012 knife made has stunning color and texture stag. I'm glad you were able to get down to the KY show and find a few treasures. Wish I could have been there.

We missed you there, but it was a great show. Did you make it to the show in Titusville?

Just realized I never posted this Perry Miller Era GEC made Tuna Valley first year Stag Scout Trapper I got from "Gunsmoke47" Kelley last month.
Thanks again, Kelley, for this beautiful addition to the TV/GEC sub-collections.

Yes I did. sort of a low turnout, but there was a lot of other events happening this weekend around here. Beginning of the county fair, a carshow at the airport, etc. + the KY show attracts all the best dealers. A new guy took over running the show and has some fresh ideas to make it better for next year, including changing the date so it doesn't conflict with other knife shows.

Great looking stag trapper btw.

Two sweet spears on those, Kevin! That Amber Stag is truly a knockout and I love the engraved bolsters on the Cattleman.....classy engraving like that really takes a knife to the next level

I thought I would show another variation. This is a Phoenix Jack prototype with Oiled Elk Stag handles.

Thank you Kevin, yours is quite legendary as well. You've got some amazing handle varieties.

Huge fan of Elk handles here, and the Oiled Elk looks great on that Norman Barlow

The next pattern for the Tuna Valley line is getting ready to be cut. There were a few rounds of prototype cuts to get things tweaked. I'm told they should start appearing in early December if things go according to plan.
