May 2026 AAPK Monthly Knife Giveaway

[bestgear]

This month we feature a giveaway from coinfolio (Mark) who decided to become a monthly knife giveaway donor because of his prior good fortune. As many of you may remember, Mark was the winner of last year’s duck decoy giveaway as well as the winner of a Case 62131 SS Canoe donated by Ray Roe, owner of AAPK Store Sweetwater Knives in the April 2023 Store Owner’s giveaway. It should be noted that Mark was one of the first in-line the last time I campaigned for new giveaway donors!

This month’s giveaway is a RoseCraft Blades Beaver Creek Barlow #RCT006-VJB. This knife has a 2.9″ D2 sheepsfoot blade with a brushed satin finish with a half stop. Sporting brushed steel bolsters and steel liners, this knife is stunning with its genuine vintage jig bone (VJB) covers. Measuring just 3.5″ closed and weighing only 2.9 oz., this Andy Armstrong designed knife is the perfect EDC and comes with the original box and sleeve!

Good Luck!

From our winner Tim:

Boy that was a shock!!!! I usually pick the same number every month but my finger slipped and accidentally picked number one.

You can’t make this stuff up

[Beavertail]

I usually pick the same number every month but my finger slipped.
This is the first time a mistake I made paid off!
This knife has everything I like, I am very grateful to own such a beautiful piece and want to thank the donor.

[doglegg]

Well if that don't beat all! And it did. Congrats.
