Tuna Valley Photography

[Rookie82]

Here is a nice group shot of the 5 sunfish Tuna's that I have. There were 2 prototypes that I'd like to find some day; a mammoth ivory, and a mother-of-pearl.

Has anyone heard if there will be a new batch of Tuna Valley knives released anytime soon?

I think this one is called the Carpenter’s Whittler.

Has anyone heard if there will be a new batch of Tuna Valley knives released anytime soon?

The next couple releases of the Phoenix Jack pattern are coming out in the next month or so. 154CM blades, with Wine Bone handles, and then after that Amber Stag handles. A new pattern is in the works but hasn't been announced yet.

The green burl has so much character. I haven't seen one yet that wasn't amazing.

I haven't added any new photos here in a while. I finally had a chance to go outside and take some photos of my newer 3 Phoenix Jack knives.

My only Tuna Valley, a 2015 Railsplitter. One day I'll get good at knife/nature photos but for now this is what I got...

Great knife Rayski, the amber stag never disappoints.

Here is a new photo I just set up this evening. The 3 Sweybelly Trappers from 2013 in Burnt Stag, Mammoth Ivory, and Amber Stag, + the 2 single blade prototype versions in Burnt Stag and Amber Stag.

Here is a rare one I haven't shown before in this thread. Just took these photos today. Rare 1906 Tuna Valley, made in Germany, and sold by Case here in the US.

That green burl is fantastic!

That green burl is fantastic!

Thanks. I usually would say I prefer Stag over Bone, and Bone over Wood, but I have to admit I really really like that green burl. At knife shows when I have the knives on display, a lot of people want to see the green burl handles up close.

It's been a while since I posted any Tuna photos. I have a lot of knives yet to be shown here, I just don't have the time to get pics of them all.

This is the 2021 Phoenix Jack in Amber Stag, with 154CM blade. These came out in May.

And coming out next week is the 1st new release of the barlow pattern, the Old Man Norman!

 

[Rookie82]

I'll try to get a group shot of all the Prototype knives I have for certain patterns sometime. It's hard to get a really nice photo of 20+ knives all at once. If I come up with something nice looking, I'll post it here. I've started a list of all my knives, and which ones I've posted photos of, so I can focus on showing a lot of the ones that haven't been shown already in this thread.

Newest Tuna Valley release just came out. The 1st version of the barlow pattern Old Man Norman. More handle options are in production now.

 

[Rookie82]

The new Old Man Norman barlows in Mammoth Ivory were released. I'll post pictures of mine when I get some nice photos.
