Yeah, all the mammoth used on any Tuna release was fluted. Kind of a neat feature that I haven't seen on any other production knives, only sometimes on customs. I'll try to get a few more shots of that cattleman.

Super knives and shots.

Thanks Tony!

Got this one from Frank’s Classic Knives. Amber stag cattleman’s knife.

That's great SSK, very nice color in those amber scales.

Ditto what Rookie said.

That is a beauty Mark.

Thanks, it is a work of art. After I received my Rigid knives set made by Canal Street and saw the amber stag bone they used, I started hunting for more amber bone stag or amber stag knives. This is going to be an interesting collection. I like the amber stag that Tuna Valley has as well so I will be adding more in the future. It should be interesting seeing all the different versions of this handle material when it’s all said and done.

That's really nice. The punch can be a very useful tool as well.

Great thread! Such beautiful knives and pics Rookie

Sharpnshinyknives,
Your T.V. amber stag cattleman's knife is very fine, a tribute to American cutlers skill. Enjoy!

Here are a few shots of a new TV I was able to find. 2013 moose pattern in amber stag.

Nice weather over this past weekend. I wanted to take photos of all my Tuna Valley knife opener picks.

Nice knives and great pictures.

I was hoping this would be a post showing the Phoenix Jack. I'm beginning to wonder if it will be released in 2019. Have you heard any news about what is going on and why it is delayed?

Ryan said he's just trying to get all the pieces/operations lined up and coordinated and funded. He said once the first release (the Phoenix Jack) is released and selling, everything should be pretty consistent after that. Just this first release is not coming together as quickly as expected.

I believe the main maker who is doing these has another maker doing the blade grinding, which was the hold up last I knew.

Another newer knife for me not yet shown here. I shot these images this morning.
2012 Cigar in Redbone with Dimpled Bolsters.

Very lovely. Fancy might be the proper word. Great knife.

Couple new shots to post of the 2012 TV Cotton King in fluted Mammoth Ivory with scrolled bolsters.

Very nice!

Any word from Ryan Daniels on the next knife to be released?

Should be soon. He said to keep checking his site. He'll update the main page when he has knives in hand ready to ship.

Another new one to add here. 2013 Moose in mammoth ivory with engraved bolsters.

I don't own a single Tuna Valley,but this is one of my favorite threads on AAPK.
Such beautiful knives.

Thanks David! I'm happy that others appreciate it. I like the knives and have fun taking pictures of them around the backyard and the woods behind the house.

From the ashes the PHOENIX was reborn, the wait was worth what the Daniel's family delivered, beautiful Raindrop Damascus blade, outstanding Stag handles, fit and finish everything TOP NOTCH, can't say enough, hope these pictures say more than me. Adog
