This OMN sample with easy open has the precious stone red jigged bone. There was no arrow on the bolster for the sample. And this handle material ended up being used on the Titusville Cutlery cotton sampler release.

Simple and gorgeous, Carl.

You have a Fantastic TV collection Carl, and these EO Barlows are superb! Now you've done went and stoked my desire to find one of the EO Teardrop patterns in Stag or Mammoth from 2016. They are some of my favorites, but darn near impossible to find.

Thanks Kevin. I know what you mean, the older Tunas are getting harder and harder to track down. I feel fortunate I started buying them in 2014.

Finally found the elusive Tuna Valley Easy Open Teardrop for a reasonable price to add to the TV sub-collection. Still hunting for the Mammoth version, but don't expect to be finding that one anytime soon. Dug the out some other TV Stags for a group shot with the new addition.

Wow, no only did you find your teardrop, but you found an amazing one with some of the best looking burnt stag so far. Well done. And that group shot is droolworthy.

Also, just wanted to mention that in Sept there were 7 new patterns created for prototype cutting. Then some minor tweaks were made to them all, and in Oct another round of prototype cutting to make sure things were right. They all are ready to roll now, with the first one already underway. I believe the plan is it will come under the Tuna Valley name, and likely start rolling out around end of December.

Thanks Carl! Can't wait to see the new patterns...

Wow, Kevin....those are AWESOME!!! Great pic (You really ought to post that one in the "Collections..." thread too )

Congrats on scoring the Stag TVEOT, and a sweet one at that I am fully confident that if anyone can hunt down and bag the legendary mythological Mammoth TVEOT it's you. Good luck with that quest.

Mahalo Q! Always appreciate your great feedback, and you obviously understand my determination when the Monkey gets his mind set on a new conquest.

I don't much about this one, it is marked "EDC" on the blade.

Sorry for neglecting this thread. Here's another I've not shown yet, to help spice things up. This was a prototype of the Old Man Jack pattern in cocobolo wood handles, in a abolsterless shadow pattern.
