The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
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.

Awesome addition for March , Dennis.
I've always been awed with nice coin knives.
Thanks J.J. and Lars. Been busy here. Had a leaking dishwasher here .... few things are more worrisome! Fortunately, keep a leak detector under the dishwasher (and other potential leak locations in the house). Damage was minimal ... but the next headache began. Searching for a replacement that was not junk made with more plastic than cars are nowadays!!
Anyway, JD makes super knives, including his coin knives. He primarily uses old Spanish/Mexican silver coins. Have had this one since 2018. The new knife I bought from him arrived this week. It will probably make next month's calendar!
Happy April Dennis! Another beauty you've shared with us. 1/4 of 2025 is in the books....Grandpa said it I don't know how many times, but boy...the older ya get the quicker time slips by you. Don't forget to stop and appreciate life y'all ! ! !
I don't know what I like best about that one, Dennis.
The simple damasscus pattern,
The horn scales,
Or the Mexican silver.
It's May, and may I share a knife that a friend gifted me back almost a decade ago. Here is a William Henry 2003 collector series T09 Kestrel with granulated silver scales. What makes it special, aside from the fact that it was a wonderful and thoughtful gift, is that it has a very unique serial number ..... 020304!
