I made some changes to a display case and it became Tuna & Hobo wipe down day.

Thank you Carl,

I collect the stag versions.... a man has to draw a line somewhere! Perry Miller was a good friend and turned me on to TV's. I have several of his first runs.

I made the little risers to fit in "lawyer book cases". It makes a nice view.

When is Tuna going to have a new pattern? Any inside intel?

Great collection and I like the lawyer bookcase idea.

I never had the chance to meet Perry. From what I have heard he sounded like a fun man to be around. I have meet David Mullins a few times at knife shows, who was there at the beginning when Perry resurrected the Tuna Valley name.

Ryan Daniels has a prototype of what the next Tuna knife pattern is going to be. He's been showing it at knife shows, so I think it is OK to mention it now. It is a 2 blade Eureka Jack type pattern, hopefully will start rolling out around New Years. Not sure what the official name is going to be on it, or what the first release handle material is going to be. He had to get through a few rounds of prototypes to make sure everything fit together perfectly, but the project has the green light now.
