We are now 100% sold out in record time (50 hours). I will start a waiting list for premium subscribers who missed out on the pre-sale but would still like a knife or two. GEC's production process normally yields around 5%-10% in overruns and we will purchase those if there is interest.

If you’d like to be added to the waiting list, PM me or email me at [email protected] to secure your place in line ::handshake::

Thank you to everyone that supported this years sale. You guys take my breath away because of your love of knives and each other. Peace

Nine premium subscribers have been added to the waiting list so far and their chances of getting a knife is very good. They’re not obligated to purchase anything until the pre-order knife orders are fulfilled and I can determine exactly how many overrun knives we receive from GEC whose production process normally yields around 5%-10% in overruns.

If you’d like to be added to the waiting list, PM me or email me at [email protected] to secure your place in line ::handshake:: This will be the last general announcement about the waiting list list for the 2026 club knife ::nod::

It may be posted somewhere but I have not been able to find it so I apologize if this has been answered already. Do you have a round about time frame that these will be going into production?

If history repeats itself, I will receive the knives from GEC in 14-16 weeks which is somewhere between September 15th and September 30th. It then takes another week to 10-days for packaging and shipping transit time so for planning purpose, plan on early October. ::tu::

Up there on the top right where it says "Support AAPK through a Premium Membership." Click on that. ::tu:: Hidden in plain sight! :lol:

Since you posted in this forum topic, for sure a perk is the ability to purchase our club knives - the past 3 years our premium subscribers bought them out before they were even offered to non-subscribers ::nod::

Thank you. I will look into it. Are the club knives available to any tier amongst the premium membership?

yes, so for as little as $20 you can support the mission here at AAPK and almost be guaranteed a club knife too!
