We are somewhat bound by the limitations of the AAPK Store software and how ordering works globally without having Bryan write custom code solely for the annual club knife sale. The mass email to premium subscribers and then a forum post to all members seems to have allocated a knife to almost 98% of those that wanted one. We started a waiting list on 9/7 and so far, only 5 members would like a knife that didn't get one in the pre-order sale.
Limiting sales is a good idea and to a large degree we did just that this year, but as has been previously pointed out, there's always room for improvement.

Re: 2024 AAPK Club Knife Information
Any new info on the knife itself?
Re: 2024 AAPK Club Knife Information
the update last week is that we are making our way to the production line with an estimated arrival on doorsteps before Thanksgiving. Is there any other information you were looking for?

Re: 2024 AAPK Club Knife Information
that will be disclosed when the knife is in-production and not subject to change but what materials would you think would compliment a Ram Foot, a 93 Pattern with a sheep foot blade? Natural? Synthetic? Bone? Wood? Stag? Mammoth?

I’m pretty sure I am going to like any material they decide on, but I’m partial to stag.

I will use the date and timestamp on your email to establish your place on the waiting list.

Thanks

Re: 2024 AAPK Club Knife Information
wouldn’t rams hoof be closer to rams foot than rams horn Ken & John now that would be a unique handle material

Re: 2024 AAPK Club Knife Information
<<WAITING LIST UPDATE>> We now have 7 on our waiting list in case anyone was wondering. I have been in email communication with each of them and hopefully their desires to get a club knife can be accommodated once all pre-orders have been fulfilled.

Re: 2024 AAPK Club Knife Information
Yes, indeed. But I don’t recall ever seeing any knife covers made from any animal hoof, including ram. There must be some reason knifemakers don’t use it. I’ve seen just about every thing else used so it seems if it was in fact useable some maker would have done so. Maybe someone here knows.
