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.

The leaves may still be on the trees and no snow on the ground, but this knife just say "November!" all over it. Thanks for sharing Denis -

Na Zdrowie!

Last month of the year ... but we will soon be starting all over, since my 2025 calendar should be here on Monday! Anyway, here we go with December 2024 and the knife my daughter got me last year for Christmas. A sole authorship Alan Davis with fossilized walrus ivory scales feather Damascus blade and textured sterling silver bolsters and back spacer. Hope everyone has a great December.

February .... and, based on the winter we have had this season, have to believe that Phil will definitely see his shadow tomorrow!!!

Here is the beautiful sole authorship Alan Davis folder my daughter and her partner got me for Christmas.

he he he... I love it. That is one really nice looking blade.

For whatever reason, that instills a 'feeling' of lava or magma. That combination of that damascus pattern and the red/orange//black jigged bone. wow, Until I saw it I never realized how good that would look.

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Kevin .... but, it isn't bone. It is a fiery amber stag. Blade and bolsters (as well as back spacer and thumb stud) are Alan's own forged Damascus. And, on another note ...... It's Groundhog Day!!!
