The Custom Knife Collectors Association (CKCA) has produced a 2009 Custom Knife Calendar to help promote the custom knife industry as well as knife making and collecting in general. While the calendar brings attention to the CKCA on the front/back covers and one half of an inside page, the emphasis is overwhelmingly on the knives. It features both forged and stock removal blades in many different styles. The cover showcases Buster Warenski's famous King Tut Dagger reproduction. This 11" X 17" wall calendar contains 34 custom knife photos.
Calendars can be ordered here:

Price is $15 (includes shipping, North America) and $20 for international destinations. CKCA collector and maker members get a per calendar discount and a price break for 5 or more per order.
The images are by Jim Cooper, Chuck Ward and myself. I did the layout and pre-press production work. As a hard core perfectionist, I am very pleased with the quality of the calendar - high grade materials were used and printing is state of the art four color. Each calendar is shrink-wrapped for protection. To my knowledge there isn't anything else like this out there. Let me know if you have questions or comments and if you get one (or more) I am absolutely certain you will be satisfied.
Here are some lo-resolution samples:
