YES! Just got my AAPK club knife! This is my first year with AAPK (though a 20 year collecter --- shame on me!). So, it's also my first club knife. BEAUTIFUL! Love the blue color, the style, and that it's the lowest price I've ever paid for a GEC ... and the first "new" GEC that was "direct" and not 2nd or 3rd hand, marked up to high heavens!

THANK YOU

Here’s a dozen from three different SFOs, all on the GEC 38 frame. Northwoods Willamette Whittlers and Farmer’s Jacks from Charlie and Lyle.

I don’t know where to find information on AAPK club knives or what the 2024 knife pattern is or how to even order one. I’m sure I’m overlooking something, could someone help this dummy? ::pray::

You have to be a supporting member to receive the email about them. Any that are left after members buy theirs goes to the AAPK store.

Thank you for explaining that to me. Do they already have a knife decided for this year?

They=Bryan Sanders, Founder, Owner and Developer of AAPK who will announce the annual knife maker, pattern and handles in the manner already communicated and not beforehand.

FYI - flipping is discouraged so as allow as many forum members as possible to continue to build on their AAPK sub-collections (not saying that was your intentions - just FYI)

Thank you, so it hasn’t been announced; and when it is announced it will be by email to those members who are paying members. Thank you for explaining that to me.

no worries brother - they are all good questions but I think of it as one of the few mysteries of life worth waiting for - no spoiler alerts unless someone spots an AAPK shield on the GEC production line (which has happened).
