Today I received my CKCA calendars in the mail. They look great. The photography is first rate with all of the pictures taken either by Jim Cooper, Chuck Ward or Buddy Thomason. The knives in the calendar are by 25 different makers, most post on this and other forums.

I think that the will help promote the custom knife industry and hopefully show more people how custom knives can be more than just cutting instruments.

I believe that these will be great gifts to both collectors and non collectors. I have allready sent some to fellow knife enthusiasts.

Here is a link to the CKCA Store website:

Here is the cover knife, the "King Tut dagger" by Buster Warenski:

What a nice calendar!

Very affordable, beautiful print and pictures and some fantastic knives, many of which have not seen the light of day before.

Makes a great gift too, don't it?;)

I ordered six. Can't wait for them to arrive. And I know some friends are going to be happy also. A super piece of work.

I think it's important to add the professional photos were donated to the project by the photographers.

All proceeds benefit the CKCA directly.

I expect a copy to be in my hands soon.... :thumbup:

You are right Coop and of course the calendar would not exist without you guys participation. The photographers and project team put a lot of effort into this project. Jim Treacy, Jeff Velasco, Suzanne Vaughn and I can't even imagine how many hours Buddy Thomason has in editing and set-up.

And also right in that ALL proceeds benefit the CKCA and the Custom Knife Community directly.
 
I should've thought to post this sooner but click the thumbnail image below to see a full size month from the calendar. After clicking it open you may have to click the image again so that it opens to it's full size. At that point you will have to scroll to see all of it.

 
Wow these calendars are just amazing. I know what my friends are getting for Christmas this year;)
 
My calendars arrived and I must say that the publication quality is excellent, and of course the pricing was less than such quality might very well dictate, were it a typical "for profit" venture.

Everyone should be getting this calendar for not only themselves, but also for holiday gifting!

I didn't mention this in my first post, but all of the editing and graphics for the calendar were done by Buddy Thomason. I think that those who have received the calendar can see what an excellent job Buddy did.

I got my batch in today. I had a few gratis copies, but I still purchased a gaggle more.

Really great work, Buddy! :thumbup:

Very gratifying, from every aspect.

We got our calendars in yesterday and they are great. Good job to all involved. Thanks Coop for sending in one of our pictures. Charlie and I are proud to be included with such great makers. We plan on sending a copy to some of our customers and know that they will be well received.
