Looks gorgeous, Ken. I looked at mine last night but didn't snap any pictures. I was starstruck over the blue bone dye mine has.

The blue reminded me of the ocean, so I thought this background might work.

It works great, Tim!
The only thing is though, where would you put it inside your swim trunks?
lol!

Target sells swim trunks with a "Tuck-Pocket" for "trans-kids" so if he can find swim trunks large enough for a trans-girl (or guy?
not sure how that works ) that fit... That GEC should slip right in that 'ol "Tuck-Pocket" 
....
From the New York Post: "Target’s line of trans options, promoted on its website ahead of next month’s Pride Month. The items include bathing suits with “tuck-friendly construction...etc...etc...”. So, ... it looks like there are some options out there when hiting the beach with your GEC... ... Re: 2023 AAPK Knife

You got one, Dog, good for you!

That knife suits you perfectly, congratulations!

Mine is a darker shade of blue, which I absolutely love.

That's gorgeous, John, and very unique from the other copies!
I LIKE the deep rich blue!
My mind immediately starts thinking "I need to get both colors"!

I arrived home last night after a short road trip to NC and look what was waiting for me in my mailbox The blue bone is stunning as is the form, fit, and finish. Thank you Bryan for an outstanding choice - I will think of all things good when I bust this one out especially the care that Bryan has for us forum members. The fact that this knife sold out in less than 24 hours speaks volumes about the dedication to our hobby and to AAPK. I am blessed to be a part of such a fantastic community of like-minded men and women.

I agree with M&M, that is real standout in a darker shade of blue1967redrider wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 3:31 am Mine is a darker shade of blue, which I absolutely love.
Mine is a lot lighter... some might say "A Whiter Shade of Pale Blue" Reminds me of a time long ago...And so it was that later
As the cutler told his tale
That my pocket knife just purchased,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
I said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see"
But I searched through my pocket knives
And would not let the GEC be
One of sixteen camel bone lock backs
Who were leaving for the post (USPS)
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed

It's a very famous "last dance" tune that most DJ's spin at the end of the night, John.

For those who may have not been around since the annual AAPK knife issue began back in 2009, here's my accumulation of them. To the best of my knowledge I have one of each variation that has been offered over the years. This isn't the best picture I've ever taken, but if you click on it you should be able to see some detail.

Beautifully done, Phil.
I was hoping someone would do something like this, and now you've done it.
They look pretty good as-is, but when expanded they look great, thank you sir!

A very belated but beyond my control congratulations to all who managed to secure this years forum knife, i unfortunately missed out, but a beautiful piece of cutlery. Some of the bone being shown is extraordinary.
