Looks amazing! Congrats. I think it is so cool that they have raindrop damascus steel.

I love the look of these knives.
They are so...what? Natural, non assembly line, organic.

That's a great collection! I've never done a big group shot of mine like that. That's a good idea. The burnt stag on this new Phoenix Jack fits right in with your others. ::tu::

At some point the red stag version of the Phoenix Jack will be made, that will complete your collection! It looks like you have the burnt and amber stag from every release so far.

Very nice group shot. There is some serious money there. Wish I had started collecting TV knives sooner.

Thanks Sharpnshinyknives and Rookie. Perry Miller was a very close friend of mine. I have several from the first series when he revived Tuna Valley Knives. They are sentimental for me.

Rookie, you are right on, I have tried to get both stag versions of all the patterns.

Nice cloudy day today, so I got a few pictures of some ivory Tuna knives that I haven't shown here yet. 2012 Lock Back Trapper, and 2013 Sweybelly Trapper.

Thanks Edge! I think taking pics and sharing them with everyone is as much fun as hunting for the missing ones. There are always more to look for!

I may have mentioned this here before, but I'll say it again.
I don't own a single Tuna Valley, but this is one of my favorite threads.
