I couldn't be happier with my copy of the 2020 AAPK offering.
The maker did a great job, even matched the front and back handles perfectly.
The first thing that came to mind when I opened the package was "cowboy." Not sure why"

The Kutmaster, I thought was post war but after some research provoked by eveled (Thanks) it appears to be early war as it has the old style can opener and brass liners. But I'm still looking for information. Thanks Iman.

Thanks you for the info. Great to see and read about.

You should be proud of that one.

Hello been busy but I wanted to stop by to share what was in my mailbox early today, a 1996 Bulldog transition knife, it has the retired fighting bulldog stamp and the then newly introduced Standing Bulldog stamp.
Acquired it from AAPK, Rocky's Consulting Services. Thanks canitouchyourknife memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=32877

Great pick up.

Thanks!

Very fine, LA. This may be a foolish question. You probably know the answer as do I, but do you know the name of the standing dog?

Hi, thanks! I believe it's Lucky, a purple ribbon ukc registered American Staffordshire Terrier belonging to Mr. Parker's wife, am I close?

If it weren't so off subject I'd share some of mine.

Received one of my backordered knives yesterday. Had to wait until this morning to take pictures.
I now have all four.

Nice Jerry,your going to need to build an addition for your uh,accumulation!!. Thanks for sharing ,nice set. Stay safe Marine!

My first knives since May. Yesterday my BF 2020 forum knives came and today I got a Kustaa Lammi puukko, from Roland, in the mail.

Dan that is a notable couple of days. That BF knife is beautiful as is the puukko.

Several days ago, earlier in this thread, some of us were talking about mini-microscopes and using them to read tangs stamps and such. I pasted a link to one I had ordered...and it came in. Set up was very easy, albeit, you have to d-load the driver from their site so it will work via the program. The site was legit and reliable. Once set up, I was amazed at the clarity of what I could see and the photo's it took. I viewed everything on my computer monitor, made the adjustments I needed to...and these photos are the result. This may not be for everyone, but being's I mentioned ordering, thought I would provide some feedback pertaining to any 'informed' decisions.

These photos were posted in another thread also.

Very clear LJ. And you know I like that Camillus stamp.

Congrats, beautiful Blade Forum Wharnie. Great to see.


Sun finally came out after days of rain and had some good light and weather for pics to do the knife justice. Ocoee they called it. As a sucker for rustic line Northwooods I'm partial and biased but love the 92s as well as any, maybe the best. Have several, but this is a whole different animal, snaps different, feels different, blade looks so different. Ocoee doesn't feel like a Talon to me. Amazing to me GEC can make knives on the same frame with such different feel and characteristics. Love what they do to them. Thanks SSK, appreciate it big time.

That's a beauty, I-man

Really lovely Iman.

I got this one in the mail, twice. The full clip blade caught my attention.
First time it looked like this:
The 2nd time I got it the mail it looked like this: I had noticed the pretty new handles on the knives in the Second Life Knives store by member Jeffinn. He turned the sow's ear into a silk purse!
