Lots of give-aways here on the Kershaw Forums. I'd like to encourage experimentation and tinkering, so here's one with a twist.
If you can guess the last Kershaw knife I purchased and post a picture of it disassembled, you win a personal survival kit that I put together. Buying the items separately, you'd spend over $80 on it. Details...
1. You must show photos of the knife disassembled. No need to take it down to screws and pins, but I'd like to see at least the top scale and blade removed.
2. It must be the same model, eg. same blade steel, same handle material and color, same edge configuration. A half-serrated blade is a different model than a plain-edge, and a tanto point is different from a drop point.
3. There is no limit on how many posts you make, but the first one to get the right answer wins.
4. You must have at least 50 posts, and at least 10 of those must be in the Kershaw sub-forum.
5. It's not a rare or discontinued knife; it's in the Kershaw 2008 catalog. It has not been modified in any way.
6. It is a SpeedSafe knife. There's no need to take your ET apart.

Here's what you win, packed into the bag...

Itemized list...
1 and 2. 16-ounce shatterproof Cyclone water bottles. I filled them to test for water tightness, and they were never drank from. They are wrapped with yellow duct tape for visibility, and have OD 550 cord loops.
3. Lensatic compass.
4. Space blanket.
5. White garbage bag for water.
6. Steel cooking stove. Inside it are cotton balls, a tea candle, aluminum foil, survival straws, and water-resistant matches.
7. Mora 612; 4" carbon steel blade with half guard. Black sheath with OD neck lanyard.
8. Fresnel lens with case.
9. Trioxane fuel bar for fire.
10. Magnesium fire starter with Marlboro tool striker.
11. Yellow waterproof match case with approx. 20 strike-anywhere matches.
12. Box of waterproof matches.
13. Butane lighter.
14. 35mm film canister filled with petroleum-soaked cotton balls.
15. Bright yellow polypropylene rope, 45 feet by one-eighth inch diameter.
16. Bright pink polypropylene rope, 45 feet by one-eighth inch diameter.
17. Sewing kit.
18. Basic First Aid Kit.
19. Rescue Flash signal mirror with case.
20. Fox 40 whistle, orange.
21. Red energizer LED light. I can substitute the red case for a blue one if you want; they both emit a white LED.
22. 2 feet X 2 feet aluminum foil.
23. 5 feet of grey duct tape.
24. Orange bandana, 12" by 12"
25. Six feet of OD 550 coard.

You get the items listed and the bag pictured, as well as a Mystery Box. The mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat, and you know how much you've wanted one of those.
 
Ha! Nice offer JN. Let's see, your last purchase, according to the post time stamps, was a red Carabiner. But I think you want to see a Speed Bump or Cyclone taken apart!

Am I close? :D
 
Just to clear up confusion before it starts... I've not reviewed this knife yet, and I've stopped reviewing Kershaw knives until this contest is over :-)
(And the carabiner knife isn't SpeedSafe anyway)

Yeah, I'd like to see a Cyclone or Mini Cyclone taken apart so I can see the on / off feature. But that won't buy you any additional hints :-)

Can't seem to find the other bag with PE blades and some other scales
in it. But it is all completely disassembled. :D
