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.

Very nice Dennis. For a while there I thought maybe you had over slept today....this late in the day for the monthly roll out is a bit unusal. Keep it cool brother, August is just a mere 30 days away.

By the way...how is it that you have a knife whose scales always match the calendar color sceme? I mean I have a lot of knives, but I don't have that many! LoL!!

August and it is HOT. So ... let’s go with a hot knife. This is my most recent acquisition. 2024 lime green barn board jigged seahorse. BUT ... it has been made even better with hand fired covers and engraved/scrolled bolsters by Don Rodgers. Posted larger pics of this beauty in the Case Fans group. And don't forget .... National Knife Day is August 24th. Mark your calendars ... I already marked mine!!!!!

September ... and am already a week or so into my winter prep. Age is rapidly taking its toll, as everything is taking longer and longer to do! Won't be long until I need to start my winter prep in July!!!

Here's my Viper Cutlery "Hug" with black stonewashed blade and blackened bronze handle with starburst etching. A hefty slipjoint for sure .... but I just can't help liking it!!
