One of my attempts to ensure that everyone had ample opportunity to purchase a 2025 knife was to email everyone that purchased a knife in 2024 but had not yet done so in 2025. I sent those emails at the start of the second day of the pre-order sales (Tuesday 5/13/25) and since then I've received a handful of responses. The feedback about GEC quality control and pricing was very helpful and will be taken into account when the 2026 knife is being planned. I am sad to report that 2 of my emails were received by the widows of two AAPK members that have been called home.
AAPK member logman09 who joined AAPK on 12/18/08, His family knew him as Ed Myers from Kittanning Pennsylvania.
AAPK member soushores who joined AAPK on 2/18/22, His family knew him as James Potter from Pfafftown North Carolina.
Please keep the families of both members in your thoughts and prayers. Godspeed gentlemen.
