Re: #35 AAPK Churchill
Referencing GEC's production schedule ( http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/pro ... -schedule/ ) it appears (SWAG) they will be ready to ship late this month or more likely the first half of next month. Keep your eye on GEC's "What's in Production".Railsplitter wrote:Has anyone heard or seen any updates?

I guess I'm used to having to pre-order a forum knife but I've never purchased an AAPK forum knife before. These are almost in production and I still don't know exactly what I have to do to buy one. I'm over thinking it, I'm sure. I'm just paranoid that I'll miss out but I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to purchase one if I like the handle material.
I haven't kept on AAPK forum knives from the past. Do they generally sell out fast?

Hi everyone I've only been a member here for a few months but I'd love to have an opportunity to buy a 2017 AAPK knife. Can someone let me know the process please ? Trevor

Re: #35 AAPK Churchill
What's happened in the past is Bryan puts them in his AAPK store and starts a thread which includes a link to the knives. First come, first served and yes, the last couple of years they have gone pretty fast because the last couple of years there have only been appx. 50 made. If you really want one, the best bet is to spend a lot of time on AAPK and keep your eyes open.

Re: #35 AAPK Churchill
A little birdie told me GEC's shut down this week (no reason given) so the way production has been going, the forum knife could very well be delayed into the first half of November. Only time will tell.

Re: #35 AAPK Churchill
Looks like some photos are up on site, and they're close to being ready. I also noticed some centered shields and some off centered shields. I wonder if both versions will be available to all.

Good eye there, Ryan. I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. I wonder if there's another surprise lurking in there somewhere.Sabercat wrote:Looks like some photos are up on site, and they're close to being ready.

Re: #35 AAPK Churchill
Your best course of action to get a club knife is to check the forum daily several times each day. When you see the announcement buy them immediately, they seldom last more than two days.

Last year, they lasted slightly over 24 hours (IIRC).

Re: #35 AAPK Churchill
FYI since the only place I've seen it come up is GKD, the AAPK knives are in pre-order now. 73 en route to Bryan and another 27 to follow after.

Greg, I don't think they are in the store yet. Not physically anyway. The ad says they just shipped from GEC today.

Re: #35 AAPK Churchill
Bryan doesn't have 'em in hand yet, but he should be receiving just under 3/4ths of the order by midweek or so and the store is taking orders now.Railsplitter wrote:Greg, I don't think they are in the store yet. The ad says they just shipped from GEC today.
Got mine on the way! Hoping all the mailmen are working in doubletime next week.
Only thing I don't like is that the shipping cost seems to be based on the USPS flat-rate box which I know for a fact can fit at least five tubes of #35s inside, 4 with decent padding around it. I really don't feel like paying that much for shipping but there's no mechanism for combining shipments.
Regardless, thanks to Bryan for undergoing the effort in making this knife available to the forum. Looks like it's gonna be another home run!
Re: #35 AAPK Churchill
The software is supposed to base shipping on weight for these knives. It appears to be a bit skewed too far upward when calculating cost on multiple items. Especially when mixed with shirt(s) or hat(s).Tsar Bomba wrote: Only thing I don't like is that the shipping cost seems to be based on the USPS flat-rate box which I know for a fact can fit at least five tubes of #35s inside, 4 with decent padding around it.

I also entered weight for each as if it were shipping in it's own box, which doesn't help...
I'll be sure to refund overages to anyone who buys more than one item from the AAPK store & get the calculator more accurate in the near future.

Now I just need to make myself not get impatient as the wheels start in motion. Way I figure it, one day soon a box will show up and the rest of the day will greatly improve.
