Redrider and QT, those both look amazing. I would be happy with either one of those!

The green maple burl with Damascus are heading towards dealers this week, so you should see photos of them soon on dealer sites, or on the Daniels Facebook page or webpage.

End of this month the amber stag with Damascus should also be released.

Here's how the Tuna Valley compares to a Case TB62117 Swayback Jack.

Amazing looking handles. I'll be sure to post photos when I can. This was off the DFKB site.

Hey guys, I realize this thread is 5 years old, but I was going through my 2006 GEC collection and I came across this Tuna Valley knife that I bought from Perry Miller back in 07 or 08 and I was just wondering if I had something special, or just another really well made knife from GEC back in the day? Thanks for any Info!

That was the first Tuna knife pattern made when Perry decided to resurrect the name. After previewing a few samples of different handles, he had 150 knives made through GEC with the Tuna Valley stamp. They used leftover blades from 2007 or 2008, and the order of 150 knives was released in 2009 with Perry's special handwritten COA and his custom Tuna Valley label on the tube. In terms of value, they are worth roughly the same as any stag 2 blade GEC knife from that era, which is still pretty valuable I think.
