Good Guy Alert

[OwlWoodworks]

We have a ‘Flipper Alert’ thread but I feel like we need a “Good Guy Alert’ thread where we can vouch for people who are excellent to deal with. I have had the pleasure of doing business with a lot of amazing people on here and I want to give them a shout out so that you too can buy with confidence

If this is allowed and becomes a thing, maybe it could act as kind of a reference for people who are selling or buying with someone they’ve never interacted with before. Or new people to the forum. I dunno, just trying to spread some positivity.

@Dan E is the fairest most no nonsense gentleman to deal with on the entire forum, if you want an exchange to go as smooth as butter Daniel is your guy.
@marc4pt0 is the OG Good guy around here. His patience and fairness knows no limits, (plus he’s got the coolest knives in town).
@coreyrichards is the kindest soul on this forum, he will give you a fair price and his documentation of the shipping is second to none.
@Scott is someone I have never had a knife exchange with but he has passed the far greater test of being an absolute pleasure to work with on a custom order for a set of cutting boards. Excellent communication, prompt and fair payment.

I've had dealings with lots of other great people, but these guys are the 10/10 sellers which I highly recommend doing business with.

Buy With Confidence!

I was thinking about this the other day. I wonder if it would be possible for the admins to have a tag under our username similar to "KKF supporting Member" as a verified seller or buyer. Over on Reddit, there is a subreddit for selling PC parts and they have a similar system. The seller and buyer can send proof to a mod or admin to receive this tag. A step further would be great if there would be a number next to the tag to indicate the number of sells/ buys that person has. What does everyone else think about this system?

Sorry @OwlWoodworks I don't mean to hijack this thread.

The problem is that I’ve had too many good experiences to enumerate!

@marc4pt0 is the only person to send me a Tsourkan by mistake, though, so he’s the top good guy in my book.

 

[Scott]

@OwlWoodworks is equally a gem to deal with. Consistent and timely updates, and quite handsome too .. his boards of course.

Man, I'm very flattered! Blushing in fact. Thank you for the kind words, very humbling. Our exchange was top notch, and very appreciated

Oh boy, did I have egg on my face over that error. What's worse, or was the second time I had done this. But luckily both times involved gents like yourself. Thank you again for helping smooth out my foul ball!

Just a handful of people who have been awesome to buy/trade from & open to giving advice and sharing their knowledge to a new obsessor like me.

And @OwlWoodworks isn't too shabby of a guy either

Refreshing to see so many names on this thread. Although You see the same 50ish people all over this forum, I haven’t seen much negativity at all outside the occasional silly flip or the unfortunate scam of @jedy617.
This community is great

[ethompson]

Likewise, I pester @naader with questions and he’s nothing but patient with me haha

If you’re looking for a thicc bricc wouldn’t hesitate to ask him what he’s got.

 

[HumbleHomeCook]

*knock on wood*

All of my buying and selling experiences on KKF have been very good and everyone has been excellent to deal with.

But for sure, I have to throw my vote behind @SolidSnake03. I've purchased multiple things from him and beyond the excellent prices, the transactions are always great.

 

[NickMinton]

@cwk.v was the guy that gave me my first shot at a really nice knife he felt was what I was looking for. All sales, trades and borrows have been really fair. Though I’ve not met him in person, I’ll gladly buy the first round when that day comes

Hey, that's me!

Same goes for @NickMinton
An excellent individual to make a deal with and an all-around great guy!

I'll add a list of names on here of some exemplary individuals I've interacted with. Happy a thread like this exists

@ethompson @naader and @nutmeg have all been supercool very patient gentlemen assisting me in learning of the arcane art of rock whispering, and procuring a rock to whisper to.

I agree on @Dan E he is awesome

Gotta add @Sdo to this list as well.. buying a knife from him turned into a friendship as well.
