That is fab stag. Gorgeous knives each and every one no doubt, but that pair of stag covered are something. Congrats on scoring the prettiest of the litter. Wow. Stunning.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
Q, I want to take a moment to say that I like your knives very much.
Rookie, your TVs are, pick an adjective, spectacular, amazing, profoundly beautiful, etc. Guard them closely.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
I saw Bob had one listed. There were only 15 of these made. These handles are from Mammoth Mike, and really are top notch.
But No, I got mine directly from Ryan Daniels, and the other 14 were sent to dealers.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
Thanks guys! I feel bad I've neglected this thread. There are so many more knives out there to show, or hunt down. I'll try to keep taking photos and posting as often as I can.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
I'm going to try out a different style of knife photography to showcase my Tuna knives. I enjoy the outside shots, but between rain and snow, and waiting for overcast windless days, it's hard to get nice shots of the knives. I decided to set up in the house where I can control the lighting and do a more simple shot of the knives. This way, I can focus on a lot of the knives I've not yet shown in this thread, especially many of the prototypes. Here is my first attempt.
2022 Phoenix Jack prototype with crosscut mammoth from Mammoth Mike, with fluted bolsters.

Nothing wrong with trying something new. I know nothing about photography, but i do know lighting makes all the difference.Rookie wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2023 3:15 pm I'm going to try out a different style of knife photography to showcase my Tuna knives.

Re: Tuna Valley Picture Show
Great first attempt; those covers are amazing! I use Adobe PhotoShop Express to edit my photos. That can be a great help if the lighting isn't quite right.
