Tuna Valley Cutlery Co., Excelsior Knife Co., & Napanoch Knife Co. are three popular brands currently controlled by The Daniels family. These are old names that went dormant for years, but have since been brought back to life with modern offerings. This forum is here to discuss & show off knives & related items with brand names under the Daniels Family umbrella.
Hmm, I sharpen all my knives with a Lansky system and use a 25 degree angle.
I've had some 1095 carbon steel knives that will cut all day and touch up with ease, then I have some others that are tough as nails to sharpen and loose the edge quickly. I don't understand it, but I guess it's just the nature of the beast.
Metal mixes and hardening even with modern technology are not an absolutely exact or perfect science. If you add in the fact that the largest metal supplier in the world Mittal steel is an Indian company the odds go all over the place depending upon what plant the metal comes from. We used to have the same problem with aluminum. It all met the specifications but the specifications all have a high end and a low end.
I measure my collection by the ton.
Whoever dies with the most tools wins......Now accepting donations.

As of June 4 we are in negoations to purchase Queen Cutlery Co. / Schatt & Morgan where if succesful we will be taking over all operations. Everything is just in negoations and nothing is final yet but once happen I think you'll see lots of new and exciting USA made lines which we have always been committed to.
Hope you dont turn it into another TV or GEC with limited high priced knives and no standard production ones!! John
