Which well know persons on this board....

[Sword and Shield]

I have heard of Alton Brown being a knifeknut, and having a heavy hand in the design of some Kershaw knives, but I haven't seen him around. Wish I did- love the show.

Some days I'm Brad Pitt, and some days I'm Kurt Vonnegut.
Still working up to Hunter S. Thompson, but that's a little more difficult at this point... RIP Hunter

 

[Dijos]

ehh? Was using just her first initial somehow wrong or offensive to you? Or is there a prior thread that I am unaware of?

Sorry, man. I think the subsequent posters clarified this.

 

[Runs With Scissors]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

One of the few times something like this came up I didnt' have a cup of coffee handy to conveniently spit up through my nose and onto the keyboard...

Mick Strider, Darrell Ralph, Jerry Busse, Sal Glesser, Doug Ritter, Kit Carson, Geno Denning (mostly, his lovely wife Cindy :thumbup, AG Russell...

(a million pardons if I didn't think of someone else, these are just names off the top of my head)

Are these names big enough for you?

Wade Fulp is sort of a celebrity to me, since I've frequented Newgrounds since I was thirteen years old and you could easily watch every movie in the Portal in less than an hour with a 56k connection.

I thought it was pretty neat when I saw that he was a knife guy.

 

[Doug C]

And, some of us still do.

Danbo,
You are a game rooster! :thumbup:

What is the definition of a celebrity?

I know that Todd Begg and his wife Tanya are members here, as are Kirby Lambert, R.J. Martin, Tom Mayo and Jerry Hossom.

Knifemakers are celebrities in my opinion.

 

[hardheart]

I heard Nic Cage is a knut too, wonder if he ever dropped by.

 

[Halfneck]

Angelina Jolie is pretty to look at, but I can't take anything of hers home like I can a knife from Sal Glesser of Spyderco.

 

[Joe Dirt]

I consider celebrities to be people that are in the public eye a lot or on TV or in the movies.

The other folks may be well known in certain rings but they are not celebrities.

Just my $.02

You ask someone who Burt Reynolds or Tom Cruise is and most will know. You ask someone who Todd Begg or Jerry Hossom is and most will not know.

 

[TorzJohnson]

You ask someone who Burt Reynolds or Tom Cruise is and most will know.

LOL I don't think even Burt Reynolds knows who he is anymore.

 

[tntbegg]

Hey, I know who that Todd Begg is!!!!!!!!

Tanya

LOL ...... I'm a regular at the NG forums. I encountered Wade on a thread about firearms. Someone posted a question about knives..... and Wade and I both responded!

He was shocked that another knife-lover was on NG. Wade recommended I join Bladeforums..... Now I've got a couple of amateurs trying to flame me on Wade's latest thread.

If you can deal with the flamers on NG, you can deal with ANY flamer.

Who is shiva Ki ???

He is a knifemaker of undoubted competence but controversial character.

Just a sample of the most recent threads about him, newest on top:

good old boys, Shiva Ki, & justice for all

Opinions on Shiva Ki blades?

I seem to be noticing a trend of that. Lots of knifemakers are characters of one form or another. Some good, some bad. But all characters.

ROFL!

I'm famous in my own little world...
