thank you David, the desire to please everyone is paramount but not everyone has the same taste in knives. Thankfully GEC’s portfolio of patterns helps to narrow the field. I appreciate the positive feedback!

A mere forty hours after the pre-order sales began the community has spoken and we are now sold out of our allocation of knives from GEC. Thank you to everyone that participated in purchasing this years club knife, your support of our community and forum are unparalleled! ::handshake::

As a normal course of cutlery manufacturing, GEC will produce more knives than our allocation and a small number of first and second rate knives will be available for us to purchase. Last year that number was 27, right now we don't know what that number will be until our knives are actually manufactured.

I am starting a first-come, first served waiting list for (a) premium members with an active subscription of any flavor (bronze, silver or gold) who were (b) unsuccessful in reserving a knife in the pre-order sales.

If you would like to be added to the waiting list and meet both criteria (a) and (b) above, please PM me with all of the following information:

Would you take a second-rate knife?
What is your PayPal Name?
What is your AAPK Name?
What is your Real First and Last Name?
What is your Telephone #?
What is your Email Address?

Once all of your waiting list information is received, I will reply to your PM to let you know that you are on the waiting list and your position in line for one (1) knife.

Glad I got my order in in time. I really like the looks of this one.
I also thank you, Tom, for all the work you do with the forum knives.

With ACSB, I knew I had to have it! It's my kryptonite. Thanks again Tom.

Your welcome Rick, I'm not 100% sure where Bill Howard from GEC is going to source the handle materials but I know he's on it and the end result will meet our expectations. ::handshake::
