Verdict on Tuna Valley knives

Rookie82 said:
I have one of the gunstocks in ivory. It has really nice matching handles with fluted ivory, and the embellished bolsters. Handles meet the bolsters very tightly at all 4 locations. Both blades on mine have a very strong snap open and closed, and strong snapping at 1/2 stops. No blade wobble at all, and when opened fully the back of the tang is flush with the backspring. I would say the pull on the main is probably a 5, the pen blade would be a 6. As usual, the blade is not hair shaving sharp, but it's not bad. The grinds on mine are very even and centered from both sides.

Not sure what else to say about it. Let me know if I missed something that you wanted to know. Here is a picture of mine.

That is gorgeous! If I could find one like that, there wouldn't be any question - I'd buy it on the spot!

now thats a clip!
 
I have had a Tuna Valley Gunstock in Stag for about 2 years .
There are no issues about quality or F & F at all and it is a beautiful knife in all aspects.
The only issue that I have with it could very well be a non-issue with most other people. It is not comfortable in my hands. It feels a little clunky.
It is not an issue with length . I normally carry a 77 Barlow and 73 in Stag .
I would just suggest that a person handle one first. The ones that I have seen at a knife show were all very well made.

Is it the width that is uncomfortable? From the pictures I've seen they can be quite wide.
