Regarding this current run of 14's, I think the blade - and the knife's overall size when open - is quite usable for a lot of the tasks I use a knife for. It's small size when folded makes the knife very pocketable. But I wouldn't mind a somewhat lighter pull on the 3 examples I have.
I think these look great. Makes me wish that I was around when GEC was pumping out clip bladed 15's like they are with the 14's.
I decided I'm only going to buy one of these #14s, and that's the one I have my heart set on.Oh boy Oh boy oh boy!!
Everything I had hoped it would be.Oh boy Oh boy oh boy!!
The AAPK 14 is up on their site.
Agreed, except the tang stamp. That stamp doesn't bother me.I’d want one of these if it wasn’t an AARP knife. Their shield, blade etch, and tang stamp are just too much. Where is the subtlety. Get rid of the blade etch and tang stamp with the font that is too large. Then get rid of the letters on the shield and reduce the size of the shield by 50%. Then this one would be perfect.View attachment 1002684
