Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
That’s fantastic news! How does one go about ordering one?
I’m getting excited about the 74 Mustangs . I can hopefully round one up with my Stallion I love the burnt orange jigged bone in SS but haven’t roped one yet. It would be cool if GEC chose burnt orange jigged bone as the cover material but not likely seems how it’s been SS runs rather than carbon in that cover. But it would be cool to see autumn leaf jigged bone or orange camel bone. Have a great weekend

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I contacted Bryan yesterday and I just read my e-mail from him. I have my 2020 #74 AAPK knife on reserve. www.admin@allaboutpocketknives.com --- Brian can put you right on the list. I have been hoping for a blue AAPK knife , myself. I sent him another email . I am trying to get more information about the scales. I am so stoked about this GEC#74 run. 200 pieces of each choice is a bummer for all of us. I am still hoping for a #74 Saddle Trapper run too. Yall need to Contact Bryan now. You snooze You lose ! More scale color information will be released at the end of October.fishin1635 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 11:14 am That’s fantastic news! How does one go about ordering one?

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I find the large "AAPK" etch that takes up the full blade length on the previous #74 to be distracting. It 'dominates' the rest of the knife instead of being in balance with it visually. Hence i hope this year's #74 will have a more discreet etch or better yet, no etch but with "AAPK" on the shield.

Agree with you on the blade etch, it’s way to much for me . Too the point that won’t order one, but on the shield AAPK works great ,and would order, just my thoughts . Really like the 74 choice for forum knife .

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I agree with you guys. IMO... taking up the entire blade takes away from the simplicity and beauty of the knife, but makes damn sure its a "club knife"Ripster wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:43 pmRolandkootenay joe wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 2:21 pm I find the large "AAPK" etch that takes up the full blade length on the previous #74 to be distracting.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
The "ALL ABOUT POCKETS KNIVES" etching is a little bit hokey looking , but I like it. I don't remember that big etching on my GEC#97 AAPK Allegheny knife. I cleaned and oiled it a few times. My head hit an oak tree in 1989 , I aint right in the head. I'm all left ! Baw-ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! If I don't like it , I will use it like crazy. It will look better with patina and I will get more attached to it.

Bryan will contact us will all the details at the end of this month.
Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
Nice to see the forum knife is a cotton sampler blade. I don't currently own one, and missed GECs original release. Hope I'm able to pick one up when they're released.

Really a cotton sampler?? Where did you see that? That would be very cool but I haven’t seen anything that hints that. Please tell us more...

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I could be wrong but I think he got the cotton sampler info from the The Upcoming #74 thread beginning posts going back to 2012 so I think it’s a mistake. Like I said I could be wrong but I did a double take when I first read it.

Do not contact Bryan. Bryan will contact us soon with all the details on the 2020 AAPK club knife very soon.
Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
A cotton sampler blade would have been incredible, but after checking the post, I agree, I don’t think it’s going to happen.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
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.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
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.
Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
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.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
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.
Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
Antique Autumn Natural bone sure does look nice on the 74, can't wait to see some pics
