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.

Nice mammoth on that one. Good looking barlow.

Those covers turned out great. How is the action on these barlows?? The Phoenix Jacks were like opening a bear trap... 8-9 pull

Carl Bradshaw
Thanks guys! Yes I agree this mammoth is quite nice.
The swayback pattern had a stiffer pull design. These barlows are a bit softer. If the Phoenix Jack was a 10, these are probably a 7-8.
