Anyone famous?

Not really a fameous person, but sort of an interesting story. A few years ago a fellow from NY was visiting TX, and came to a show where I was set up. He liked my knives, and placed an order and gave me his office phone number to call when the knife was ready.

I called a few weeks later to tell him the knife was ready, talked to his secretary, and a few days later received his check along with a nice note on his letterhead. He was the CEO of Long Island Power & Light.

A few months later I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal about him. He had been ousted from his position by the board of directors, and given a $20 million severance package.

Always wished I'd charged him a little more for the knife!

:D

I have made several knives for BillyJoeBobDan. He is the assistant to the assistant undersecretary to the Mayor of Vine Grove, (pop 431) Kaintuckee. :)
 
Kit--

You mean you're NOT the mayor of Vine Grove?

What are those people thinking?

In addition to what Mitch said, the "Pungent Vegetable Knifemaker" also has made pieces for Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith

Likewise, I recall reading one time somewhere that Tyler also has some pieces by Steve Hill....

Gents,

Some of you can state that Ed Moses has one (or more) of you knives. The only problem is that I am not the famous runner. :D

Regards,

Ed
 
David Crosby was in Blade a few months back, he has a few Loveless's, a DE Henry and some others.
I got a knife that Kit made from BillyJoeBobDan's sister a while back except it's stuck in the sheath, cant get it out. She said it's uncle/daddy's fault.
