AAPK Club Knives - A Historical Record

Post by bestgear »

Hello Everyone!

The intent of this post is to maintain a historical record of the AAPK Club knives that have been issued annually since 2009. The attachments below are intended to serve as a baseline for the record and this topic will be updated annually as a new knife is issued. If you find anything in the attachments to be incorrect and in need of correction, please post those proposed corrections in this forum to maintain transparency as the historical baseline is established. This will be post 1 of 2 due to the volume of attachments.

As I was assembling the attachments for this topic I was reminded how rich this community is to have supported an annual knife since 2009. God Bless each of you. ::handshake::

Greatly appreciated! Looks like the 2014 Moose is the rarest to date.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

My favorite was always the 2017 Churchill. There were several handle materials on that run and the Rust Red Jigged Bone was the best one of them all.

Thanks for posting this, Tom.

Floyd, John, Rick, and Scott - thank you for the kind words - this is too valuable to risk becoming lost over time.

Tom, this is great information to have in one place! I love looking at (and lusting after) some of the past club knives from before I joined.

I would also like to add my thanks to Tom for doing this. I believe one is missing, the 2016 came out in two handle variations.
I also have them all except for the green handle variation of the 2016. The 2014 moose and the 2022 muskrat are my two favorites.

Thanks for the correction Dan, the image has been added. I had it accounted for in the table but I failed to load the image ::facepalm:: All 19 AAPK club knives to date have now been properly recorded. ::handshake::

Why do some years appear to have 2 knives? Man I sure like the 2023 and 2011s!
