    I would like to take this time right now to thank each and everyone of you who joined in on Friday night in the support of me on Knives Live. I truly hated it that we could not get connected but were definitely having some technical difficulties. If the chance ever occurs again, hopefully we will be able to get connected. I was nervous but knowing you all were there for support truly helped. So thank you all again!

    If you get the chance come visit me at the Blade Show in two weeks. Table 28 R.

  • Ron Cooper

    Kudos, Courtney! You did great - and looked fantastic, too! That was a bummer that we couldn't get connected cuz you sure had a big support network here on iKC cheering for you - Hope you felt the vibe!

    Cheers from California!

    Had a chance to speak with Courtney today.  She does have a swell center being introduced this weekend and I will have pics of that magnificent knife in the morning.

    As for the next knife coming.......

    Courtney says she knows what the pattern will be, but she wont even tell Ryan what it is yet LOL.  She did promise to tell us first!

  • Jan Carter

    I'm glad you guys are liking the lineup of knives my wife is putting out there. I'm really proud of her and what direction she has taken the line.

    Moose hunting ? Did I hear someone say "Moose Hunting". I missed out on their Moose pattern, I had too many things going on, at the time of it's release. GEC has a planned knife production schedule, that might help here.

    I think Courtney likes to surprise everyone. Sorry I know you still can get one.

  • Jan Carter

    Ryan,

    Nice to know the family is with Courtney on this venture, she is doing a great job of choosing patterns and materials

  • Jon Salmon

    Hello Indian - Wow that is BEAUTIFUL !!  May I inquire as to where you obtained that AWESOME sheath that the knife is laying on? I'd really like to know about the craftsman who made that !! Thanks - Jon Salmon

  • Indian

    Just to let everyone Know ...about some of the leather work...such as sheaths. It is my Bro Dave Taylor who has done them. He is True Craftsman and if you want one...just let him know that Indian sent you...he can curse me later....lol

  • Paul Ring

    That's cool Indian, thanks.

    Ron, I'm having a hard time here....lol Tuna Valley, Moose gets my highest rating for knives, "How Sweet It Is!"........

  • Paul Ring

    It's the dawning of a new era with Queen Cutlery and Tuna Cutlery under the guidance and leadership of the Daniels family! Thank you for investing your lives into the cutlery industry!

  • Carl Bradshaw

    I know this isn't quite the same Tuna Valley, but this is the only one I have.  1906 Tuna Valley (Case Bros) pearl ladies knife. Roughly 600 produced.

  • Jan Carter

    WOW, Carl that is one sweet one though!

  • Ron Cooper

    Wow! There's some serious knife porn on this page! That pearl/abalone Whittler is obscene, as are those Moose patterns!

    Carl, your old school Tuna's are like the cherry on top of these super sweet cutlery confections!

    This should leave no doubt as to why they call Ron the Big Tuna! 

  • Courtney Daniels

    Wow, is right! Thank you Carl for sharing that picture of that knife. It's a beauty. And Paul, Thank you for those kind words of the Daniels Family in the knife industry.

     

    You should be seeing the next Tuna Valley pattern right around the end of this month. Thank you again for all the followers and I hope to see as many of you who can make it up in Titusville for the Queen show in a few weeks.

  • Jan Carter

    Getting close to the end of the month, wonder what beauty is in the works for us this time?

  • Carl Bradshaw

    Courtney, I would like to suggest you submit a Tuna Valley, pearl handled, baby doctor's knife pattern for the NKCA youth knife for 2014.  I am a youth knife collector, and they have never had a doctor pattern, a pearl handle, or a Tuna Valley knife before.  It would be awesome, and very unique.  :)

    Looks great, Ron.

  • Courtney Daniels

    Carl Bradshaw, that is a great suggestion. I had never thought about a club knife before. I am going to look into it. Thanks!

    Next Tuna Valley pattern will be out by the end of August... it's been awhile since a new pattern has come out due to some machinery and over load at Queen. Also, the new Oiseau Metal Arts knife will be out by the end of the month as well. Was not planned this way just the way it ended up.

    A beautiful new Tuna is now swimming at a dealer a dealer near you!!!!

     

  • Bill Fletcher

    My, my that is a "shore" enough beauty!  LOL

  • Jan Carter

    The Coke Bottles are looking good!!!  I hear they are available

  • Courtney Daniels

    Yes, I have recently released the newest Ivory knife in the Sway Belly Trapper. Also, the large Coke Bottle in Burnt and Amber Stag. Check the web page at www.danielsfamilyknives.com.

    I will be attending the Easton, PA show this coming weekend September 28th and 29th. I am looking forward to showing these new patterns off and hopefully see you there.
  • Carl Bradshaw

    Awesome looking knives Courtney.  I'll be at the Lehigh show this weekend, I'll be sure to come see the knives in person.

  • Jan Carter

    Thanks Courtney, we will have a few members at that show.  I hope they come by to see you and the newest additiopns to the Tuna Valley Line

  • Carl Bradshaw

    Pictures don't do them justice, I saw them in person this past weekend at the LeHigh Valley knife show.  Very high quality, no one can match a Tuna Valley knife unless it is custom made.

  • Jan Carter

    Carl,

    I am hoping there will be one at Rep Weekend for me to see too!

  • Courtney Daniels

    Next appearance will be at Smoky Mountain Knife Works for Rep weekend. Which is October 11th and 12th. I hope to see everyone there.

    Enjoyed getting to see a few of you last weekend at the Easton, PA show. Which turned out to be a good show.
