The Daniels family have been involved in knives for five generations, from trading, selling, manufacturing, and now distribution.
This 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.

As things begin to wind down for 2026, we still have plenty of knife releases still to come. The popular Titusville Cutlery coffin jack pattern Lexingtonian is back, with some Oiled Elk and Burnt Elk handles. These knives are made with 1095 carbon steel blades, and measure 3 3/4 inch closed. They will be shipping out to dealers soon, and only 25 of each were made.
