I got some capacitors about two years ago now, which I foolishly removed from their bag, and I quickly forgot their markings. I can't even figure out which kind of capacitor it is. Tantalum seems the most similar, but the markings are wrong for a tantalum cap. Could you please help me identify this?

That is odd.
The stylized K is a trademark of Kemet, who makes both ceramic and tantalum caps.
The polarization marking would indicate tantalum, but the capacitance (if it's only 10,000pF) is rather small for a 25V rated tantalum cap.
My best guess is that this is a 10uF +/- 10% (K tolerance) 25V solid tantalum capacitor.
Edit:
Turns out it was a pretty good guess. Here's the data sheet (towards the back). It's a MIL-spec solid tantalum cap.
