I don't collect GEC knives in general. I joined AAPK in 2018. Last year, I purchased two of the 2019 AAPK knives (last picture) and I recently decided I wanted a 2018 AAPK knife also. So I bought a 2018 AAPK knife. It has the tube, the wrapping paper and the c.o.a. It is in Near Mint condition. I took some pictures and here it is.

Just ordered my 2020 AAPK forum knife. Looks like another beauty from GEC. Thanks Bryan and all involved for getting this out.

I had to leave the house and take care of business. I logged on AAPK with 9 AAPK #74 knives left. I bought a blue XXL AAPK T-shirt too.

I literally got the email notification, and they were gone when I clicked on the link...WTF?

I always make it a point to get at least one to support the site. If anyone bought an extra they'd be willing to sell me, hit me up, thanks.

I tried to buy two and that did not work. I did end up with an AAPK T-shirt. I am not surprised that the Antique Autumn Natural bone selection was used. Antique Autumn Natural bone was a new color for the 2020 year. Only nine left , I got one by the skin of my teeth. AAPK was out after I received an invoice number.

It’s disturbing to me to see a member try to sell a knife at a super high price and it’s not true. There’s a GEC Barlow advertised as one of Charlie’s SFO Barlow and it’s not true. I say give him the boot.

They are nice. With everything going on at the moment, were they easily accessible to members. Why i ask, from what i have been reading about the GEC frenzy, would have hated to see your club inundated with " New " members just to access one, with long time genuine members missing out. Glad you managed to snag a couple though, they do look good. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::nod::

That’s precisely what happened. The frenzy ensued with more new memberships and orders than there were knives available. Limitations were set and members that had ordered in previous years were given priority. I’m thankful to have one serialized and one not. I’m only missing two of the club’s GEC annuals...hopefully I’ll add those some day.

My 2 GEC Remingtons showed up, lucked out and got 1 light bone and 1 dark bone. Bone dye color is spot on to color Remington used. Bone jigging is some of GEC's better stuff, if you had to fault it the jigging is more old Schrade than Remington. Pulls, snap, all excellent, they are typical GEC high quality.

Very, very nice knives. These would make great life long user knives for the outdoorsman, back country hiker or hunter. Too bad that the majority will never get to 'perform'.
