The Naked Knifemaker Calendar is back for 2026 - bigger, bolder, and with even more incredible makers from around the world. This one-of-a-kind calendar showcases talented knifemakers stepping out of their comfort zone (and out of their clothes) to raise awareness and vital funds for men’s mental health.
This project began as a way to highlight how important mental health is within the maker community and beyond. Many makers find the forge, workshop, or studio to be their sanctuary — a place to work through life’s challenges. But too often, men suffer in silence. The Naked Knifemaker Calendar was created to break down stigma, spark conversation, and remind people that vulnerability and strength go hand-in-hand.
Profits from the 2026 calendar will directly support The Anvil Assignment, helping fund outreach, resources, and initiatives dedicated to men’s mental health and suicide prevention.
By purchasing this calendar, you’re not just getting 12 months of cheeky, creative, and unforgettable photos - you’re standing behind a movement that saves lives, builds community, and proves that makers worldwide are stronger together.
Your wall will thank you. But more importantly, so will the men who need this support.
