Daniels Family Knives
The Daniels family has been trading knives since the 1940's. Our founder , Norman Daniels, tought his grandson Ken Daniels about his first knives not on the internet or knife shows as we know today but at old fashion traders markets and gun swaps. The most famous was Washington Court House near Dayton, OH where at the time this was 6 football field sizes big. Ken Daniels would later teach his son ,Ryan Daniels, the trade. I remember growing up at the National Knife Collectors Shows…See More

Roger Cunningham commented on jerry d thomas's blog post Tom Ray Toe Nail"If the backspring fits correctly and the blades work and fit right,I personally don`t have a big problem with it being repaired,if I were looking for one.It still effects price.The blades are worn and I would agree 150, maybe 200 on a good…"
Scott King commented on jerry d thomas's blog post Tom Ray Toe Nail"Based on it being repaired and not in original condition, probably $150"

This is the Tom Ray knife that I have been trying to send. The knife belonged to a friends grand dad. The back spring was broken. I found a junk knife on e bayand had the knife rebuild. All The parts with the exception of the back spring are orginal. I would like for somebody to give me a idea what the knife is worth. I will more than likely sell the knife as it is the only toe nail I have and most of my collection is case pocket knives and these things sell to high for me to collect . …See More

OK yup know where Park Hills is for sure, but did not know about the Flat river name. If you don't mind you might share this news with our founder Scott King. He is an Elephant Toenail nut and we have a group here dedicated to that style. I would drop him a note, join the group and see if you can't find somebody who specializes in that pattern. Yes pictures always help so if you can do that it helps. I was just telling another fellow about a program thats free called irfanview. It lets you cut picture size in half and do some other things and upload times are outstanding even for somebody like me who is on dial up.
If any of that doesn't work comment back and I'll see if I can line up some help for you. All the best!

- Jerry, one other thing if you have a knife you'd like fixed, try going to our forum. There is a place there where you can ask a question about repair, post a picture if you like etc. Just thought I'd mention, if you need help let me know!

- Thank you Jerry, well after an 8 degree start this am, we are a balmy 34! Hey when you get a chance post some pictures of those yard sale winners. That's how I get some of mine, ah the thrill of the hunt!
