I haven't voted- Probably won't but from what I have read of your posts...I don't think you are a jerk...Just a talented knife maker!

Nick, when are you going to update your website "About Me" page?
You can't stay 26 forever, Peter Pan. :D
 
Nick,

I saw you in Atlanta and wanted to pick your brain, however, there were so many people around you (like green flies on a dog tur...... nevermind).:D I decided to go away and try again. I never actually got to speak with you, but maybe someday our paths will cross again.

You were a very popular guy in your dark suit, and looked very "at home" talking to the crowds.

I think your posts are, for the most part, very informative. You don't come across as a "know-it-all. If folks would take the time to "read-between-the-lines", they would realize that you have a lot of knowledge to share.

I appreciate your posts, and wish that more people would share info like you do. I am trying to get this knifemaking thing figured out and old geezers like myself need all the help we can get.

well Keith H start your own post/poll !! i would have guessed more than 9 people would have voted yes -just for asking the question about ones self , and i dont even know Nick Wheeler sounds like one of your buddies is pushing your buttons, and the looks of this 7 page post they knew how to get your goat!!
 
I think you're just a scared, little child seeking approval from the rest of us and trying to cover it up with your boisterous and egotistical posts :) But jerk ass? Not even close. You're all good in my book and enjoy the levity, as well as valuable information, in each and every one of your posts! Keep up the good work and forget those who are just trying to better themselves at others expense!!!! B)

Nick, Are you sure that e-mail wasn't for Matt Gregory????

Any way, I think your a jerkass for stealing my term "jerkass"!

Now get back to making some sweet knifes...uh...I mean knives.:D

You're just upset because I keep this supermodel figure without watching what I eat, lummox.


Now I definitely want to change my post - this many pages over something as asinine as whether or not you're 'okay', and yet we still get shitbirds asking if it's all right to quench blades they made out of mild steel from a mystery source that some old fool told him would be all right so long as they made sure to use a good quenchant like bacon fat, and don't worry about the finer points just so long as it feels right to you...


... on second thought, Mace is right. It's easy to hate me, I'm not very understanding. :D

You serious dude? I love talking to you. Your hilarious. I think if people don't understand your humor than they arent worth worrying about. Its shocking to me that someone could think badly of you. Your a friend and a really good guy it seems.

Nick, I have never met you, but I have read a number of your posts. I don't think I can improve on what Jonathan has previously expressed. Remember you can't please everyone, and I don't even try.

I am hesitant to keep this thread going, because you guys are right, it's gotten pretty crazy. But there were a few things I wanted to reply to.

Fitz... what do you mean I can't be 26 anymore??? This Friday I will be turning 26 for the sixth time :p

Robert!!! Why the heck didn't you come over??? I love your knives and would have loved to shake your hand and cuss and discuss! I sure hope I don't come off as unapproachable at shows. Next time I sure hope you stop and bs with me Robert! :)

Allen, your post reminded me of the fishing guide I worked for as a teen. He was talking about a TV fishing show host they took out and filmed a show with. He was kind of a prick... and got this random notion that they should drop him off on the bank with the shoulder to shoulder pissed off, big city "anglers" looking for meat (they're always bad news).... rather than keep fishing in a $50,000 sled loaded with G-Loomis rods and one of the best guides in the state. The guy ended up catching a 20# winter-run steelhead. Not only did he catch a fish, he caught a hog. John just laughed and said, "Well, some folks can dive into a pile of shit and still come out smelling like roses." ;)

Andrew---- just to clear that all up. I know the thread you are talking about, and the gist of it was that the poster asked about a very specific question. I posted with some real specific responses because I've used the process he asked about with great success for a couple years. It wasn't like I thought I deserved a girlscout badge for it, but when I got home after a crappy day and saw some flippant remarks about the process it really made me wonder why I had bothered if nobody gave a fuq. If I hadn't of had a bad day, I wouldn't have really cared, but I did... and I left a pretty cold and staunch reply. Sorry if it seemed rude, but it's how I felt at the time. This is a good reminder that before posting based on emotion, it's best to type out a reply, but wait 5 hours to post it. If you still feel the same 5 hours later, then go ahead and post it. :) My good friend Chuck Bybee told me that one. :thumbup: I'm a big believer in honesty and being upfront, and that's as "to the quick" as I can get about that particular thread. I'm NOT meaning to pick on you or drag anything out, but rather clear it up.

Matt Gregory--- I have some bacon fat if you'd like to add it to your superquench for hardening the unhardenable mild steel Mojo you've been dreaming of. :D But I definitely do not hate you my friend. :)

The dogs... man those are some pretty Aussies!!! I honestly didn't know much about them until Naomi bought Lucy. I did a lot of reading and found out they are supposed to be one of the smartest dogs. If Lucy is a good indication, I'd have to agree. She was extremely smart. Thanks for sharing guys!




And on a final note- If this thread was worth nothing else, it was a big reminder to me that it's easy to lose a posters real feelings by simply reading their words. Without actually knowing me, a great many of you probably wouldn't know the silly twinkle in my eye and goofy grin on my face as I post something "smart." I should probably reserve that type of post to the folks on here that I've had the pleasure to meet and they would know where I'm coming from. Well, except Fitz... he gets me and I still have not had the pleasure of shaking his hand. :)

I am sorry if I've offended anybody or hurt their feelings. Even though advice might not feel positive, I wouldn't ever want it to feel hurtful.




Okay, that was a super long-winded reply, but the new quarter started today and I won't get nearly as much time to come on here as I had over Christmas break... so I had to get my money's worth :D

Thanks folks. :)
 
Nicks the one in the middle.....

hehe..

Nick in the 8 years I've known you on the forums and the occasional run in at a knife show you've been nothing but a self righteous ass-clown. Even when your knives were only worth a "I'll buy it on the off chance that this guy will be a big name some day" you were a huge know it all. Always talking about your "big muscles", "hot girlfriends" or your "friggin huge tool" trying to make everybody jealous. But I know you for what you truly are. You are the kind of guy that likes to make little kids cry and grown men cover the bathroom mirror in shame. You Bastid!

Uh... Oops I think I, uh, got you mixed up with... uhm.. me. My bad.

Seriously though, Nick is probably about the most humble guy on this forum. That kid got his panties in a wad over nothing.
 
Nick,Dont give the guy a second thought..Back years ago when Donna was modeling my knives we actually got hate mail via USPS and would routinely get emails saying Donna was ugly and fat and I had a porn site not a knife site.We were told once by a well known maker that he would get stuff like you did and at first it bothered him but after awhile it became a joke,at least someone is jelous enough of your work to try and make you go away thinking they can step into your shoes (hard to do)...I would still like to talk to a few people over their comments about donna but wont ever know who they are so have to just let it slide....
Now dont even give it a second thought and just do what you do how you do it and if someone isnt man enough to say that crap to your face then they arent worth listening to.Go pound some steel if ya cant sleep.

Holy crap man, I started out to read all the replies and then saw there are seven freakin pages of ass kissing going on here and I don't have the stomach for it! :D So I'll just add my slow, days-late bit and say that I'm sure thankful you post here and that you've never offended me. I trust straight talk a whole lot more than some mealy-mouthed crap that's careful not to hurt anyone's feelings. Let 'er rip Nick!

I also think that was just some kid with a broken heart because you didn't stroke him like his mom does. He has a lot to learn but may not be able to unless he ditches the defensive attitude.

Now I'm gonna go vote...
 
It's all a marketing scam. Nick wrote it himself. He has since had his name at the top of the forum listings for days, had over three thousand readers, probably had hundreds of profile checker-outers, has sold a few dozen knives and received 17 amorous proposals (13 from woman, 2 from other dudes :eek: and 2 from dogs (a boxer hound and a flop eared mutt)! That's one smart dude!!!
