Anyone know? He made, like, 11 of the nicest knives the world has ever seen, kept 8 of them for himself, gave two to knife making contests, and sold 1 to some lucky bastard out there. Then last I heard he packed up all of his crap and moved to Nova Scotia or somewhere with his anorak as his sole posession. I don't know if any of this is true, I just read it on the internet.

Anyone know where Rick or his knives are?

Yeah he is still around here quite a bit. And still making some truly awesome knives as far as I know from what I saw in the shop pic thread.
 
No one really knows what happen to Rick. It was about 15 years ago that they found him wandering the cold Canadian North in nothing but his red speedos, flippers and bright orange lipstick. I tried to get him to tell us more but he clams up every time you say the words flywheel or hippopotamus.
:D
 
Thank you Patrice for being the first to understand that it was a joke ;)

Anyways, guys, if it's really him in here posting all the time, where are all the knives for sale?

Pat that's the funniest thing since I met Rick here on BF!:eek::confused::D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Strange thing it pretty much sums up Rick or at least as close as you can get without violating the rules here!:thumbup::D

You see the real story about Rick starts out!

Once upon a time, in a far, far away land, called Gamail there was a ...................................
 
They kicked him out of Ontario for his poor attitude , so he had no choice but move to NS and live near the sea. He lives about an hour down the road from me. The government doles out his electricity so he doesn't spread his thoughts too fast.
 
My personal suspicion is that Rick is biding his time and waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce on the knifeworld and knock us all back on our heels. His goofiness is a just a front... he's actually a mad genius!

Pat that is the most hilarious thing I've read on here.
 
I'll second what Don said Patrice, Taken the whole quote and the directions it could
go THAT IS FUNNY! I love the hippo and flywheel part.

Hey T-freak... where abouts in NS are ya? i go there a few times a year and if you're bored, we can talk cutlery one of these days... or compare tattoos, lol.
 
I am a little concerned that Rick hasn't responded yet. He is probably in a corner somewhere in the fetal position with his blanky. :(
Does somebody lives close enough to bring him a jar of mayonnaise and a palm-sander. That usually calms him down.
:D
 
I live near the area but I don't know if he has his cave marked. He was just commenting in another thread though, I wonder if his internet is monitered by you know who.
 
FWIW, I sent him a message a few days back and haven't heard from him either. Maybe the storm has caused an outage.
 
He may have believed the Mayan prophecy was true and he retreated to the woods to live out the rest of his life off the land.
 
They had some isues with the network up there. (probably a frozen circuit) Rick sent some stuff that didn't show up, and didn't get some emails that were sent to him. He is OK....well as OK as Rick ever is.
 
Ha! you gys kill me...

Little known fact... ATG does not show up in BF searches. I was told that there was a thread about me and couldn't find it in a search... hmmmmm.

I LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the move, building up a shop, nursing injuries and having to cancel shows... I have dropped off a bit, production wise. Hopefully after the weekend, I'll be able to get into the shop more. I have lots of blades on the go and filling requests as fast as I can. The only time I post in the Exchange is when I make side projects or a customer is no longer able to purchase because of financial issues.

I would like to thank my fellow forumites who acted appropriately in this thread... and would just like the rest of you to be aware that when I finally seize the throne of BladeForums I will change all of your profile names to something awkward and extremely comical... like

Buttsmth
Buttrice LeButt
Button(that one was too easy)
Tattooedbutt
kc buttstom
Don Nguyen(that one was funny enough as is)
Dixiebutt577
James terrio... uh... butt (I almost didn't have one for you)

See? Those are clever, funny and unique.... and there is a lot more where that came from. Something to consider before posting unfunny things about me.
