July 2023 Forum Member Knife Giveaway

This month we have a special donation from first-time donor rea1eye (Bob Achterberg) who is parting with his Boker Tree Brand Trapper Black Bone with Red Shield. Bob won the January 2023 Forum Member Knife Giveaway and was passionate about returning the favor to another AAPK Member.
This German-made knife is 4.25” long and comes complete with the box and insert. As tempting as it was, this knife has never been carried or used in any manner. The features of this knife include high carbon stainless steel satin finish blades with "Tree Brand" frosted blade etches. The handles are black smooth bone with brass liners, nickel silver pins and bolsters, and a special red color-filled Boker Tree shield. This Boker Black Bone Red Shield Trapper features a 3.25” clip point and spey blades and weighs just 3.77oz!
Bob says that what drew him to this knife was its excellent construction, blade snap, and blade centering. Good Luck!

I couldn't remember if I had entered or not. In the past I have always been able to double check. Obviously I am logged in to post this, but can't access the Store owners give away either. Must not recognize my address?

I’ve asked Bryan to look into the reported issues. My experience when accessing the list is as it has always been so i cannot duplicate what you are seeing. Stay tuned. Tom
