All About Pocket Knives

They're gone now.

I had to leave the house and take care of business. I logged on AAPK with 9 AAPK #74 knives left. I bought a blue XXL AAPK T-shirt too.

I literally got the email notification, and they were gone when I clicked on the link...WTF?

I always make it a point to get at least one to support the site. If anyone bought an extra they'd be willing to sell me, hit me up, thanks.

I tried to buy two and that did not work. I did end up with an AAPK T-shirt. I am not surprised that the Antique Autumn Natural bone selection was used. Antique Autumn Natural bone was a new color for the 2020 year. Only nine left , I got one by the skin of my teeth. AAPK was out after I received an invoice number.

Antique Autumn Natural bone sure does look nice on the 74, can't wait to see some pics

I think these turned out great.

Spot on. I have not seen anyone's that is not exceptional posted. And yours is keeping the theme going.

CHARLIE CAMPAGNA WAYNORTH SFO #15 BARLOW IN GOLD GLITTER ACRYLIC

It’s disturbing to me to see a member try to sell a knife at a super high price and it’s not true. There’s a GEC Barlow advertised as one of Charlie’s SFO Barlow and it’s not true. I say give him the boot.

I contacted the seller and after a couple messages he changed the ad

This year’s club knife from OKCA

Nice set Bryon. I hope to score one someday but until I’ll admire.

They are nice. With everything going on at the moment, were they easily accessible to members. Why i ask, from what i have been reading about the GEC frenzy, would have hated to see your club inundated with " New " members just to access one, with long time genuine members missing out. Glad you managed to snag a couple though, they do look good.

Thank ya, Ralph...I’m betting that one will land in your hands sooner than later!

That’s precisely what happened. The frenzy ensued with more new memberships and orders than there were knives available. Limitations were set and members that had ordered in previous years were given priority. I’m thankful to have one serialized and one not. I’m only missing two of the club’s GEC annuals...hopefully I’ll add those some day.

My 2 GEC Remingtons showed up, lucked out and got 1 light bone and 1 dark bone. Bone dye color is spot on to color Remington used. Bone jigging is some of GEC's better stuff, if you had to fault it the jigging is more old Schrade than Remington. Pulls, snap, all excellent, they are typical GEC high quality.

Very, very nice knives. These would make great life long user knives for the outdoorsman, back country hiker or hunter. Too bad that the majority will never get to 'perform'.

Couple good ones John!

After everything you have said, that is why i cannot work out why they are sitting on shelves.

Couple reasons in my opinion, price and a large run 2500 pieces, that is the largest run in awhile. Kind of nice being able to buy one if you want without doing the mad scramble.

I don't do the mad scramble anymore, it makes purchasing a knife worse than a root canal, not for me. This run is much more civilized.

The Prospector showed up today. GEC sure did an excellent job on these!

Remington Bullet Pics are looking good
