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.

It's May, and time for a new Calendar pic. Here is one of my more recent Alan Davis slippies dressed in jigged bone, copper and Damascus.

July ... my trio of Queen-made humpback whittlers. Orange bone Colonel Coon, jigged bone Robeson, and buffalo horn Tuna Valley.

Now that is a trio to envy! Losing that factory has been a loss to so many good tangs

August ..... Here is an Alan Davis knife I never tire admiring. The scales are made from some of the most striking Masur birch I have ever seen.

It's September already and I am busy getting ready for winter .... which up here, off of Lake Erie, could come as early as next month! And ... that's not a complaint, mind you .... I love cold weather and snow.

Anyway, for this month, I pulled out a Case seahorse whittler and a doctor's knife with barbed wire jigged bone covers. A great pair.

Wish it would have been a little more active ... but I certainly have had fun! I think I am going to end the year with an Alan Davis.

Capping off this year is a nice Alan Davis. Alan forged a 2-bar random pattern Damascus to make this this one. Looks nice with those giraffe bone scales.
