Now, a new chapter has begun for Ryan and Courtney Daniels. "Daniels Family Knife Brands" is offering the exiting new Excelsior Knife Company line of knives directly crafted by the knife makers that also design them.
They also are continuing the very popular Tuna Valley Cutlery Co. knife brand, marketed towards the contemporary collector.
Thanks to everyone for all their support over the years, and we hope to talk with you in person at one of the many knife shows we attend throughout the year! We have many projects on the horizon, and hope you check here often to see what is coming next.

Hello, my name is Courtney Daniels and I am the proud owner of Tuna Valley Cutlery Company. I have been the owner for three years now, since 2012. Previously owned by Perry Miller who produced this line in 2010 by Great Eastern Cutlery. Then my husband Ryan Daniels and his father Ken Daniels produced a few runs in early 2012 before I took the line over. Since then I have taken the line over and the product has been produced solely by Queen Cutlery Company.
I've not always been into knives. I didn't grow up around them or go to the trade shows. I married into the knife industry when I met Ryan, my husband. At first, I tagged along with him to flea markets when we first met and watched him buy and trade. Then when we got married and started a family, that's when we started going to more knife and gun shows, which I sat back and just watched. The more I watched the more I began to know and pick up on. I was surprising myself when I was able to answer customers questions. How and why do I know this stuff? Before I knew it my husband and father-in-law where leaving me alone at the table so they could walk around. This meant I had to become more familiar with the product and pricing.
Once I took on the Tuna Valley line, I became even more interested in how the product was made. I started going to the Queen Cutlery factory and began learning different stations and steps in the production manufacturing process. I don't think a person realizes the varies steps and hands on with different people touching the knife multiple times before the knife is complete. After learning the process or taking a tour through the factory you look at a knife differently and have more respect for the final product.
My Tuna Valley line is a limited line. I currently come out in each pattern with: 50 Burnt Stag, 50 Amber Stag, 25 Buffalo Horn and then 25 Fluted Mammoth Ivory with Engraved Bolster. All are limited to this amount and will not be reproduced in that pattern ever again. They are made with 154 CM steel as well. The knife comes in a velvet black pouch inside a white tube with a certificate that has the release date of that pattern and a signature by me.
Be sure to like my page for future news, releases, & my new journal that will document my apprenticeship at the factory
thanks jan, that is a purty railsplitter for sure.
