I've been trying all day to recall his stage name here and I can't. What makes me remember him is his location. Mayo, FL

Kit,
Same here. When he showed up at CKD, he'd already been banned here, but I remembered the Mayo, FL location. I just kind of winced, and tried to warn a couple of the moderators there, but they weren't having any. Had to learn the hard way I guess.

One of the most hilarious websites I have read.

Here is just one snippet from his "article", A Knife Saved My Life.

""I am a juggler. I juggle clubs just to keep my wits and reflexes young and strong and to constantly hone my coordination and timing. But you've got to have some serious headroom to juggle a number of clubs, so when I'm on the road and in motel rooms and such, where the ceiling is too low, I sit down, close my eyes, and juggle in my mind. I zone juggling!""

Conan O'Brien's writers couldn't make this stuff up.

Yeah, bending a knife in vise is fun, for "Junk Knives"

Laugh not at the great Doctor!!! . . . . . I have been chosen as one of the knifemakers entrusted to carry on his legacy and his warranty.

My charge is to warrant his knives for the first 135 years following his death. In exchange for this honor he has promised to share the secret of "the one piece guard" with me.

Just when I thought I was starting to figure this knifemaking thing out, I am left dumbfounded at the thought of being able to replace all of my CNC machining centers with a hand full of files!!!

Eat your heart out Kit!!!!!

Jerry,
I am truly saddened that I wasn't picked as one of his warranty guys. What an honor that must have been

Mike Hull · May 7, 2003

LOL!.......This is too much.

Well, I think all you knifemakers are jealous of Mr. Neill's success.
As he mentions, you guys have to sell your knives to pay credit cards and buy groceries. This means, of course that you must compromise ! Whatta buncha bums! Take a tip from Mr. Neill, and try to live like artists, without a care in the world. Hey, it works for him. He's got money, fame and accolades, has had 'em for decades.

He can't, he's already said too much. Any more and the "great doctor" might withhold from Jerry, the secret of eternal youth, which I believe to be "mind juggling".

edited to add, you can see that smirk on my face can't you??

What a complete narcissist! I wonder how much of that is true (if any, of course)!!

Jerry Busse · May 7, 2003

I fear that I have said too much already.

Kit, when the doctor called me with his proposition, I literally began to sob with joy. Who can blame me? I get to warrant someone else's knives and I get to live to be pretty darned old to boot!

I'm a lucky guy,

Jerry

Jerry-

So I keep looking for your old CNC centers under Knifemaking Supplies, but all I'm seeing is several tons of Busse D2. What's the story on getting rid of all that useless automation? Can a guy maybe get a deal on a CNC museum piece or three...

Attention good people of Mayo, Florida! You have been invaded by aliens! (Well, maybe just ONE alien.) Please call for volunteers and send someone out along Route 2 to check for any unusual structures in cornfields, meadows, or back yards that might resemble a spaceship. Then report back here.

That is all.

Jerry,
Buahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
