based on the track record from the past two years, the presale lasts between two and three days before all 200 knives are spoken for. So in essence, the pre-sale lasts until all 200 knives are sold. Hope that answers your question. ::handshake::

Also, this year premium subscribers will again be allowed to pre-order one (1) knife or two (2) knives while supplies last. If you want two knives, you’ll need to order them together as only one order will be allowed per premium subscriber. Last year we had almost 3 dozen premium subscribers that ordered two knives in separate orders and paid for shipping twice. That creates a nightmare during fulfillment to match up those two orders into one shipping box hence the reason for the change this year.

Yes i can imagine that would be a nightmare matching up 2 orders into one consignment. ::dang:: ::dang:: ::dang::

All I can say is that it's a blade/pattern combination that my GEC aficionados tell me that GEC has never made before ::tu::

Just as the Normandy Landing’s on D-Day began shortly after midnight on the morning of 6 June with extensive aerial and naval bombardment as well as an airborne assault, anyone interested in this years club knife should be on alert for an email tomorrow morning. I am anticipating a smaller bombardment and airborne assault than the liberation of France and the rest of Western Europe but still a relentless attack on our allocated GEC knives.

This would be a good time to purchase a premium subscription if you don’t already have one because I anticipate a quick sellout of our allocated knives before making them available to non-subscribers.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact me directly here in this thread, via PM or via email at [email protected]

Tom thank you so much.
I am sure I truly don’t know all the effort you put in to give us the opportunity to purchase these awesome AAPK club knives.

Ready to order this year,
Hesitated last year and just about missed the opportunity. Not this time.
Thank you so much

One knife will be $170 and two knives will be $330 including shipping to any US destination, $5 more than last year. ::tu::
