January 2026 AAPK Monthly Knife Giveaway

This month we feature a giveaway from an annual anonymous donor who has agreed to part ways with his new unused flat desert earth colored CobraTec Diablo automatic knife and a bonus gift. This assembled in the USA high-quality knife is designed for precision and reliability and features a rugged G10 handle that provides excellent grip and durability in various conditions. The blade is crafted from D2 steel, known for its exceptional edge retention and toughness, and it is finished with a black stonewash that not only enhances its appearance but also adds resistance to wear and corrosion. For added safety, this knife includes a sliding safety switch to prevent accidental discharge, ensuring that the blade only deploys when you intend it to. Whether you need a dependable tool for everyday carry or outdoor adventures, the Diablo delivers both performance and peace of mind including being backed by a lifetime warranty.
A bonus to the monthly knife giveaway is this Kershaw Ration #1140ORX. If you camp, backpack, hike, or hunt, you know you need this. If you have to grab lunch between classes, you know you need this. If you eat lunch at your desk, you really know you need this. This useful tool includes a fork, spoon, bottle opener, and carabiner to clip to your backpack, briefcase, or purse. Made from 3Cr13 steel, the Ration is then bead-blasted for a matte finished look.
Please do not enter this giveaway if the jurisdiction where the knife will be shipped does not allow individuals to possess or use such a knife. It is the recipient's responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable laws regarding possession and use in the destination location. As there are federal restrictions on the shipment of knives such as this giveaway knife, a contract carriers like UPS or FedEx will be used as this is the only legal option for shipping interstate between individuals. The Federal Switchblade Act primarily regulates the manufacture and introduction of automatic knives into interstate commerce for manufacturers and retailers but not individuals where their jurisdiction allows possession or use such a knife.
Good Luck!
