$15 is about right if you ship first class postage without insurance.

Re: 2019 AAPK Forum Knife
Yaaaaaah Hooooo !!! Mine just arrived and man it is a beauty ! I really believe this is the best yet as far as the AAPK knives go, and considering how fond I am of all the previous ones, that's saying a lot.
Thank you Bryan for making this spectacular knife available to us.

Re: 2019 AAPK Forum Knife
I don't collect GEC knives is a brand, but because I collect AAPK knives, OKCA knives and other knives, like Charlie Compagna's, I consequently have several GEC's. I don't have a permanent display for them as of now, so they sit in a drawer at the moment. When the AAPK knife arrived yesterday I thought that looked quite a bit like the 2019 OKCA club knife (Oregon Knife Collectors Association). So I took them out and took a couple pictures of them side-by-side. I was right! It's a nice pattern to begin with and now it's starting to grow on me!
Thanks Bryan for a great choice in AAPK Club Knives this year!

Yes, several years ago GEC made a club knife for OKCA, and I think they made the Beaver Tail series at the same time.

Re: 2019 AAPK Forum Knife
I agree it's unique nowadays but it was fairly common on old folding hunters the size of this one, about 100 years ago or more. There's a thread about knives having "double pulls" here somewhere with some examples. Great to see it revived on this knife.Old Hunter wrote:Just noticed the blade has both a long pull and a nail-nick - that is a unique design. OH

Re: 2019 AAPK Forum Knife
I'm probably late, but are there any of these available? If so I would buy one. thanks, Terry
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Re: 2019 AAPK Forum Knife
Terry there are still some to be had. Take a gander up to the top right of your screen and you should see a picture of one. Click on that and it'll take you to the page where you can place an order.terryl308 wrote:I'm probably late, but are there any of these available? If so I would buy one. thanks, Terry

Since I knew it was coming, of course the mail carrier was an hour later than normal but at least it got here. What a beauty.

Re: 2019 AAPK Forum Knife
Just noticed the marking on Jerry's tang stamp (checked mine too, and it's on last years AAPK Club Knife too). What does GECCAR stand for? I get that GEC is Great Eastern Cutlery, but what does "CAR" signify? OH

Re: 2019 AAPK Forum Knife
You don't suppose it stands for CARBON, do ya? My 82 Dixie Stockman has CARBON spelled out on the tang so I assume the blades are 1095 Carbon Steel.

Jerry, I bet that is it! Thanks, BB
Ps I also noticed that the AAPK tang stamp is replaced with the Northfield tang stamp. Details, details - that's what makes it interesting!

cudgee, if you have any further issues obtaining a knife let us know here. I think we can all brainstorm some way to get you a forum knife without breaking the bank on shipping.

Re: 2019 AAPK Forum Knife
Got home this morning (3:00 AM) from traveling and my wonderful wife had my USPS package sitting on the kitchen counter for me.
I couldn't wait to get it open...this knife is really a great knife and Thank you to Bryan for making this happen for us! I am like Dale (Orvet), not a GEC guy, however, it is an AAPK Club knife and I would get one regardless of the maker, just to support this Wonderful Site we have at our disposal.
Thank you again,
Respectfully
Tom
