My recollection of the process regarding how the AAPK annual knife was made available is:

1. The knife would be announced and be described.
2. The knives would be placed in the AAPK store.
3. People who wanted to buy the knife purchased it from the store.

Is process for the upcoming knife changing to where the knives are to be ordered via email to Bryan?

More details will be announced at the end of the month. I spotted the AAPK bolsters and I freaked out with excitement. I contacted Bryan and I alerted everybody. Sorry , I went fool ! Baw-ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Nobody died and we are all getting a cool knife.

I realize you're a new member here and you're excited about getting and AAPK knife, but Bryan is in charge of the entire process from start to finish.
Over the years we have had several overly enthusiastic folks like yourself posting all sort of stuff they "knew to be true" and it confused a lot of members, and made a lot of work for Bryan and the admin staff of AAPK.

The admin email address that you posted for Bryan is not even his email address that goes into a general mailbox and I'm not sure it's even a good email address anymore.

I can appreciate your excitement, but please do not tell people to email Bryan, it only causes him a great deal of work and pain. That's why he doesn't answer most emails. If you haven't read the story of Bryan here on AAPK I suggest you might do so you would have a much better understanding of the debilitating conditions he lives with daily.

You can read about Bryans story at the following two links. A lot of people don't understand why Bryan does things the way he does but when they find out what he lives with they are amazed that he does so much!

So please, Onearmbladejunkie, stop instructing members how to order their knives. You don't know! All you're doing is confusing people and causing Bryan and our admin staff problems.

Bryan will announce the knife when he is ready to and not before.

I just received an invoice from Franks Classic Cutlery. My Brown Burlap Micarta #74 Mustang is paid for and is ready for shipment. I could not believe the low price of the knife. I know another GEC dealer is charging much more that what I paid. Franks Classic Knives is always "The Way to Go !" for me.

Just wanted to clarify to everyone that GEC is in process of making a knife for us & the process to buy will be same as last year ...

We do not have a formal pre-order arrangement, but I do have a list of members set to receive an email as soon as the announcement of availability is made.

If you have requested to be placed on this list in the past or have purchased an AAPK knife in the past, you should be on that list & you should be receiving that email sooner than later, but we do not yet have an exact date. The exception would be if you've opted out of receiving future notifications.

If you are unsure if you're on the list, but wish to be sure that you are, you can private message me, or email to bryan@allaboutpocketknives.com

The knife will be listed for sale in the AAPK store just prior to us sending the email & an official announcement on the forum will will be made soon after that. All unknown details of the knife will be revealed in the listing.

Members who wanted to buy the knife can purchase it at that time. We will have 100 available. The speed at which they sell often Depends on the pattern's popularity & quantities already available in the market.

I believe many are expecting it to be a 74 mustang & that is a correct expectation. ::tu::
