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.

It has been over a year since we've had a Napanoch release, and the time has come. The popularity of the Titusville Cutlery brand Lexingtonian coffin jack pattern sparked the idea for this unique tool knife. Adding a physician's knife spatula as a second blade, we are very excited to present to you the Mortician, a magical blend of doctor's knife and coffin jack. This limited release is offered in 5 different handle materials, in very low quantities of each. If you loved our Lexingtonians, or are a fan of doctor's knives, or coffin jacks, this one will be sure to scratch all your itches. Don't wait, as they won't last long.

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.
