NEWs FROM TUNA

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.

KnifeMaker Comment by Ryan Daniels on February 27, 2012 at 16:03: Hey everyone sorry havn't had anything new on here for a week or so. I just got back from National Gun Day in Louisville, KY and saw some great friends. I want to welcome all the new members of the group you will find that we are all family here and I would love to meet every single one of you in person. If you didn't know my family doesn't just do business on here and our website. We have a very full schedule of shows all year which is posted on the website if you see one close to you send me a message and I'll look for you at the show. Also this week I will be opening two new tabs on the website. The first will be a tab for my wife, Courtney Daniels, which lists several knives on eBay weekly and also takes care of our Antique/Discontinued knife department you can get a hold of her through e-mail. I will be posting her stuff on the website each week as we get it rolling. Second is a new tab for myself I do sell handmade and art knives at the shows and will start listing them on the website so please check for updates.

WE NEED 10 MORE MEMBERS SO I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT YOU'LL WIN GO TELL ANYONE YOU KNOW!!

Comment by Jan Carter on February 24, 2012 at 18:11: Steve,

Certainly a pleasure. I check there often myself

Tom,

Musk Ox, great idea

Alexander,

I am a wood person myself and I really love the Burls. You will truly appreciate the material I am using for my own first knife. I will put my pieces on the beginners group tomorrow

This has got to be the fastest growing group on iKC! Congratulations!!!

Comment by Tom Peterson on February 24, 2012 at 9:21: Jan, you are just too nice! Thanks for your kind words. I have often envied your & Donnie's collection too - all of those primitive bones and Beavertails!

Comment by Tom Peterson on February 24, 2012 at 9:17: How about musk ox for handle material? Gold lip pearl? I like the stabilized wood idea of Alexanders as well as the mammoth ivory.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on February 24, 2012 at 7:20: They need only 10 more members to join to reach their goal 100. Good Luck, Daniels Family!

Comment by Alexander Noot on February 24, 2012 at 6:56: Jan, I just thought of another type of material that wouldbe very good, stabilised burl and spalted woods. Currently those are only available on custom knives but they offer the beauty of natural woods and the stability of plastics. In short the best of bith worlds.

Comment by Alexander Noot on February 24, 2012 at 6:44: Jan, I'm not sure what other materials I'd like. That stag does look gorgeous though.

I have to admit though that I'm not a very big knife buyer. I love knives but I rarely buy them. I don't know what it'd take for me to get one. As for what other materials.....ivory? Mammoth ivory? MOP? Abalone? Maybe some stone types?
