Yep Mike, the Shapleigh DE butter and molasses was in my pocket the whole weekend.

That thing is sharp sharp, inspire of the pitting everywhere.

Cool pics Perry!

Jerry had the same question I did!

I have some old & pitted knives I EDC because they do get so sharp!

Hmm, I wonder if there is a correlation between the pitting and the edge retention of some of the old carbon steel knives?

What a life Perry

That's just awesome

Thank you Dale and Brian!

I have wondered about this a lot too Dale, after cleaning this DE Jack a couple weeks ago. It seems extremely sharp and cuts thru anything quickly. What else would you want? There's no evidence of rust anywhere and plenty of pitting but lots of character.

The snap is crazy new like,,,, and I have to think there's something to the whole underneath all that rust the carbon still rules the day with a great edge.

Perry, next time you go to the Venetian, you oughta take a ride on one of them fancy gondolas.
When the gondolier starts singin' to ya, you can start singing right back at 'em.

I like the Venetian, but the boat ride was a bit of a letdown...

Yeah, I try and stay out of that area, Blue. Too much vibrato ya know!

Perry, those pictures are way cool.

It's hard for me to imagine what that must feel like.

I'll tell ya Mike, after doing it this long, it feels like a job. I don't really like being away from home anymore. My wife says I'm becoming the old man now. Would rather be home and down by the creek or in the basement, killing time with knives than center stage in Vegas but I think that's why I'm still here. Never been that taken with "stars", I have truly been blessed to get to do what I was gifted at. It takes a certain ability to endure in this business as long as I have. Not moving to Nashville till the age of 35 years, I had a lot of catching up to do in a short span of time. Maybe that's why I'm so tired. LOL

They are great pics, '46

Are you a solo act now? I know what you mean about getting tired. I'll soon be 68 and I'm worn out. They've finally come up with a definition of us old Bluegrassers; "A musician who loads a $4000 instrument in a $1000 car, drives 500 miles for a $100 gig!" That's a Bluegrasser!! But I've said it before, youre one lucky feller '46, to be able to make a career doing something that you love to do.

That's a good one Murph! Never heard that before.

Not a solo act, never really wanted that. Still doing these shows out here with Tim and Faith, at the Venetian.

Taken with my cell phone's camera at my cousin's funeral last weekend. He was a hot rod/custom car nut so we all wore hot rod t-shirts to honor him. He would have loved it. This is me, his brother and two other cousins.

The one in the red t-shirt Cutty. His brother is on the end in the white t-shirt.

By George, Jerry!! I think that is the first pic you've posted of yourself, and a dandy one it is.

It's always nice to put a face to a keyboard

If y'all are plannin' on scarin' the children with that shot or ridding yourselves of rats, I expect royalties.

This is about as recent as it gets for me. My wife, two of my granddaughters and me, Christmas 2013

Good lookin' family there T.J.

tjmurphy · Post by **tjmurphy** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 3:17 am

Thank ya, Jerry. I like 'em a lot

orvet · Post by **orvet** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 6:29 am

The pic in the guy in the red hot rod T-shirt reminds me of a Southern gentleman with a wee streak of ornery!

Great pics TJ, especially with the family.

Try'n to catch up on all these threads so sorry for the late response. Ya don't look much older than ya did back in the day of that Marine photo Jerry.

I do believe ya lost a few pounds since ya posted yourself at the computer, congrats!

If indeed this be you Jerry, gives me a good visual when I say a prayer or two for ya Jar Head!
