A new iKC calendar and a new year of knives!

Can't believe we are entering a another decade. I hope everyone has a great new year.  As I open up a new iKC calendar, thought it would be a great idea to choose a knife a month to showcase.  Here's my knife of the month for January (I wonder what yours might be?!).  This is the last knife I purchased in 2019.  It's a utility / hunter by TK Steingass - spalted hackberry handle with a 4.5" 1095 blade with hamon.

    Better late, than never.  Happy New Year to everyone.  To kick off 2026, pulled out a sweet knife made by Alan Davis (you all know how much I love his knives!).  This one has some outstanding mammoth ivory scales and a Bertie Rietveld heat colored "Dragon Skin" Damascus blade.  The bolsters are also Bertie's "Dragon Skin" but Alan acid etched them to give a contrasting look.

    When I first saw this, I thought "How cool for New Years....a blade with ice cream sprinkles on it". Then I read your description. I guess Dragon Skin does sound better than sprinkles....not near as tasty though....

    Thanks Dennis for kicking off the new year with another great knife! Stolat!
