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.

The long wait is over. The first new Tuna Valley pattern in 5 years is here! We are pleased to announce the new Mountain Cougar pattern, a non-locking variation on the historic swinguard pattern. The Tuna Valley name commands respect in the knife collector market, with a history of top level knives and premium handle materials. This new non-lockback pattern stays true to tradition, with blades and springs of 154CM steel, and overall closed length of 4 1/2 inch. The first release offers 4 different colors of Arctic Curly Birch. Over the course of upcoming releases, we also will offer this pattern with spear blade, in addition to the clip.
We expect these knives to become instant classics with the collectors. Be sure to contact on of our Tuna Valley dealers right away.

If you were lucky enough to get in on the initial release of Tuna Valley's new pattern, the Mountain Cougar, count yourself fortunate. Collectors were instantly drawn to this new non-locking swinguard pattern. We are excited to offer the next release, in 5 colors of jigged bone handles. Only 10 of each color were made, so don't delay if you would like to get your hands on one. At 4 1/2 inch long, and 154CM steel, these premium knives are top of the line. Enjoy!

The response has been phenomenal. The Mountain Cougars have been the most desired knife released yet by Daniels Family Knife Brands under the Tuna Valley Cutlery brand. We are very proud to show the next variation of this non-locking swinguard pattern, now available in Amber Stag, Mammoth Ivory barehead, and Mammoth Ivory with End Cap. Featuring 154CM steel, and measuring 4 1/2 inch closed, these low-quantity high-quality knives are sure to disappear quickly. Contact one of our Tuna dealers right away if you are interested.
