Got mine, I love the GEC 93 pattern and it’s my only Kingwood handle. I’ve started picking up older AAPK knives before I was a member so this is a collection highlight. Merry Christmas everyone!

A fabulous tribute to 20 years of AAPK and aknife that everyone of us are proud to own. Tomorrow will be my 9th anniversay here with AAPK so I'd like to express my appreciation to Brian, Tom and all the people who make AAPK such a grand place to spend yoor time and gather knowledge about this hobby that we so dearly love.

I've been on AAPK since Shep was a pup (I believe Jan 03 of 2009) and have enjoyed every minute of it. In today's mail was the best of the best incident I have experienced on this forum. Tom (Bestgear) sent me one of the 2024 knives and as most of you know, it's a beauty. Quite frankly, I don't feel worthy of such a gift but I'm not about to send it back.

Thank you Tom. You are a man among men!!!

I’m just the middleman in this secret Santa escapade and happy to facilitate - a worthy recipient at an appropriate time of year.

Tom and team AAPK club knife,
Thank you so much for the incredible amount of work to get this knife out to all of us.
May God bless you in this season and always.
Mine is going to be an after Christmas gift and that’s okay. They look gorgeous and I am sure I will be more than happy.
I send everything through the US Postal Service.
It is too bad that the Leviathan of government shows so blatantly. Because it is our tax dollars that are paying the bills.
My knife made it to Carol Stream distribution center on the 22. That is where mail goes before it heads to my local post office.Then for only the reason the government knows it went to champagne Il then to Chicago and then, you guessed it. Back to Carol Stream.
I will still use them unless someone request otherwise.
Thank you so much again
Steve

The 2024 AAPK 20TH ANNIVERSARY KNIFE has arrived at Starvation Plantation and I am well pleased! A knife of this pattern would make a great EDC.

: Fresh out of the tube.

Tried to make this picture a little more in keeping with the season:

: The new knife makes the red and green plaid Christmas runner and the antique stuff look a bit better.

Thanks Bryan and Tom!

Thank you, cudgee.

Actually, the handles on BOTH pocket knives are spectacular.
It's my pathetic lighting and my sub-standard photography skills
that makes one pocket knife look better than the other one.

Got mine today and it is fantastic. Many thanks to all those involved in designing, building, and shipping this gorgeous example of GEC's best.

I’m not sure why Chris

I still have knives available to sell at the original offering price of $125 plus $10.40 shipping while they last - PM me if anyone has interest in making a purchase

John, if you don't have it yet by the time you get home, I'll gladly give you one of the ones that I received. Merry Christmas buddy!

Can't say what i'd like to.

You have a safe and Merry Christmas.

I did and was told that it isn’t my money and not my knife and that I should rethink my approach to someone else's business. I politely said thank you. My only beef is for flippers to wait to sell on the secondary market once the primary market is sold out (which it currently isn’t).

Looks like 3 have already sold in AAPK stores
