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.

Comment by Tom Peterson on February 8, 2012 at 20:42: Hey Guys! I am so used to just going to GEC's group that I didn't even see that there was a new Daniels Family Knives group! And no one invited me to the party! I've been reading older posts. I like Johnny's idea of the fishing knife. I'm glad to hear that quality natural materials will be used for handles. I'd like to see some clip blades on those new runs of Daniels #72's. I am curious how the Daniels family will differentiate their knives from those of GEC in terms of design and materials but I am excited about this new chapter of high quality American made knives! I do love the amber stag - just wish it had a clip blade companion. I'd like to see more different materials used on the #72's like abalone, black lip pearl, spiral cut buffalo, primitive bone, musk ox and ivory. I know that they're not natural materials but I would also like to see the #72's handled in micarta and acrylics. I know that it might not be the #1 seller but I would like to see a scout/utility knife made. It wouldn't have to be a boy scout knife but more like the engineer's utility knives made during WWII by Camillus, Schrade, PAL and others. It could have traditional handles like red, brown or green tea bone, stag, elk, wood, etc. with old school jigging like peach seed or Rodger's. Others that I would like to see are a traditional whittler, a larger jack knife than the GEC barlow similar to the Case 6231 1/2, a swing guard, a copperhead and a gunstock. A lockback version of the #23 would be great too. I did like the four blade Tuna Valley stockman that Perry had made a few years back too. A traditional stockman would be great, bigger than the Calf Roper closer in size to the #54W (which I am a big fan of). Can't wait for the future to unfold for the Daniels Family and Tuna Valley!!!

Comment by Jan Carter on February 8, 2012 at 16:46: I cant wait to get a look at this knife completed!!

Comment by Jan Carter on February 3, 2012 at 17:01: So what do you think? I really like the Amber Stag

Comment by Jan Carter on January 31, 2012 at 18:13: So I had an opportunity to put the scales on and let us have a look but I did not have an the chance yesterday to see how we felt about this unusual stag. It is so wonderfully colored and gnarly that I love it!!

Comment by Luca Vignelli on January 30, 2012 at 19:20: Ryan, I dont mind losing out on this one, though it's a first. But keep that beautiful material, and those blades, coming. You should set up a shop in Brooklyn, I'm underemployed!

KnifeMaker Comment by Ryan Daniels on January 30, 2012 at 19:10: hey everyone just to let you know the Tuna Valley Cutlery amber stags are already sold out so I'm sorry if you didn't get on the list in time. If you check out with Ken Mundhenk at Blue Creek Cutlery or at Greg Holmes at TSA knives you might get lucky. Sorry once again.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on January 30, 2012 at 17:56: I have a question, is the spear blade on our GEC club knife the same as the spear blade on the Tuna Valley opening edition knife?
