2000th Post Customer Appreciation 10 knife Giveaway

From the great philosopher Bill Watterson:

“I have a hammer! I can put things together! I can knock things apart! I can alter my environment at will and make an incredible din all the while! Ah, it’s great to be male!”

Dave, thanks for helping make it fun to be male.
 
Dave,

You are a stand up guy and a good man . . . and you run your business admirably too . . .

I love the knife community and I feel lucky to have found it. What a diverse group of great people!

Why are we here?
For the sun to embrace our backs and the wind to whisper in our ears
And to cause the pigeon to cock his head in confusion.
To watch the slow fade of dusk clouds lined with pink and to run our fingers through beloved sun-edged hair.
To taste raindrops on our tongue and for our eyes to see eyes with the first ache of affection.
To entwine fingers
To embrace and brace
against the pulling abyss.
If to define is to destroy,
then it is an insanity that has driven generations to madness
when there is no mastery over the space and time we are drawn along
And no fulfillment but the sheer
giddy
pure
joy
of being alive.
And for one brief, dizzying lifetime at a time to have random matter, through us, know itself.
And I do not ask how long
To rage against the dying of the light seems like ingratitude
When the briefest moment
is enough

Thanks for this opportunity. Your knives was what got me hooked on knives. In fact, I got a Kershaw Blur on me right now!
 
Congratulations Dave! I have enjoyed every transaction we conducted and look forward to many more.

Dave, congrats! I sure appreciate all you do for the community. You offer great knives at a great price. I always know I'm in good hands when buying from you! Keep on keeping on and you'll have a very happy and fruitful life.
 
I just ordered the orange Skyline from you 2 days ago through your website. You shipped it the next day and now I can't wait to get my hands on it. I am new to knives but all of the ones I own are Kershaw's. Just love the brand, don't know why.
 
When I preordered my ZT 0560 I thought of all the great things I had heard about you here and decided to give you a shot and you exceeded expectations.
 
Please do not count me as I've not purchased from Kershawguy.

I just wanted to add that I think this is an extremely kind and generous gesture from Kershawguy, good on you :thumbup:
 
Dave, in addition to your integrity as a dealer of some of the finest production knives to be had (Kershaw/ZT), you are one of the people who has (unbeknownst to you until know) helped motivate me to finally get things moving in a positive direction towards opening my own small knife business. Thanks for the great service, great deals, and great opportunity. And as the Celts would say, "May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live." Cheers sir.
 
Thanks so much for the opportunity, Dave, this is a very generous giveaway. I have aquired several knives from you; some of them, I'm sure, were from before I knew who you were in the knife community (off the 'bay, years ago), and some since I have come to realize what a treasure you are to all of us in the knife community. You and the rest of this wonderful group of lovers-of-all-things-sharp have helped me to stay sane in the nine months that I have been without gainful employment (thank the Lord that my wife has a good, stable job); I start my new job the day after the holiday next month, and plan to visit your site to do some serious shopping once the budget allows! Thanks for being there for me and all the rest of us!

Here is one of my favorite quotes:

Take each day as you find it,
If things go wrong, don't mind it,
For each day leaves behind it
A chance to start anew.
-Gertrude Ellgas
 
Thanks Dave you're the best!

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
-Lao Tzu
 
Dave thanks for the awesome opportunity and what you do for the community

"Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which change has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits." -- Thomas Jefferson
 
I've bought a few knives from Dave. All good stuff. :)
Thanks for the chance.
Uplifting thoughts:

"When going through hell, keep going" a quote from Winston Churchill I believe. Makes perfect sense when you think about it. When everything in life seems to get tough, and you feel like everyone is against you, keep on moving forward. Don't dwell on the current negativity being faced. ;)
 
"Life is meant to be a celebration! It shouldn't be necessary to set aside special times to remind us of this fact. Wise is the person who finds a reason to make every day a special one."

Thanks for the chance to win a new knife. I just received my ZT0350TS from you yesterday and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
 
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Thanks for the opportunity and congratulations on the 2000th post.
 
Congrats on 2000 Dave!

My uplifting thought for today (and it works for tomorrow too) is: It's nice to know Dave Anderson is a friend of mine.
 
Indeed congrats on the 2,000 mark. I remember back in the days when I would...huh?

Positivity starts...NOW!

Life - Poetry, music, art, love, and friendship exist. Despite all of the troubles one faces in life, the reasons for persevering always remain.

Knives - They cut things. For much of my life, working in retail as well as receiving, I had box cutters. They sucked. Even now, as a musician, paintballer, and handyman, I look back on the times without a good knife and I cringe. Good blades make me feel good when I can do work with ease, as well as when I sit down on a quiet night while the wife is either out or reading, and go through my collection with a smile. You've helped add to that collection and joy. For that (amongst other things), thank you.

Kershaw - I own about... 4 knives that aren't Kershaws or ZTs. My collection has about...38 pieces now. What can I say? I'm a fan.

If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered. -Edgar Allan Poe

Etc. - You're awesome, and very funny. :D

Cheers sir!
 
i still carry the shallot blem i got from ya....it has cut me several times. an old family saying..."If a knife cuts you, then it owns you. You can not get rid of it. Only the knife can leave you.
 
Dave, you are a very big part of this community. I have made purchases from your on this site, eBay, and your website. You make it possible for me to buy knives at a decent price to give to my friends and family and pass on my knifenuttiness! Just want to extend a big thanks on your presence on these forums!
