I hope he does. Giving people an honest answer is the best he can do and work something out with them. I would be pissed tough, if it was money and he never answers calls or e-mails...

Do the dealers have to pay for their allocations in advance?


As mentioned already, Randall's relationship is with Rick and not you (for this case).

Since you are already in Georgia, you can open up a case in small claims court (I think GA calls them "Magistrate Court") to get your money back. These courts are there specifically for relatively small amounts and easy for anyone to represent themselves without paying big bucks to an attorney.

Other customers outside the state could do the same, but the real pricetag to show up would probably exceed the amount they are seeking in damages.

(edit to add) Then again, if he's having "down on his luck" problems, you'll have to make a judgement call on how ugly you want to get to recover your money in the timeframe you want.

Don't feel too bad for Mr. Ward. I understand that there is thousands of dollars involved in this and that it may be felony fraud.

What Capt. Gary said.....the guy owes people money and is not responding. That doesn’t sound like such a good guy to me.

Sick, disabled, whatever - no excuse - he knowingly billed for items that he did not have, would never have, and had no way of obtaining to fulfill the order. I don't know when he took your money, but I know for a FACT that he was accepting funds for Randall products as late as 12/30/18. He took mine, but he could not even order from Randall at the time. FRAUD! I can prove it. I personally submitted a felony fraud complaint with the Sheriff's office today.

Sorry guys, especially if you're on the short end of the stick. I guess I'm an optomist, and give people the benefit of the doubt, at least 'til there is no more doubt.

Howdy Ya'll,
I am in dire need of finding the wherabouts or doings of Rick Ward. A friend of mine in Florida paid out several thousands of dollars for 12 RMK's (2 of them are mine) . The knives were paid for and to Rick Ward Knives. I'm Starting to take this personal now. Perhaps The State Attorney Generals Office may be interested as well as the FDLE here in Florida. We would rather have the product or our owed monies. This doesn't look real good for Rick Ward. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Rergards,
Kinky

@ Capt.Gary If this is you and you want to "locate him", there is another Randall dealer named Rick Bowles who can maybe help you do that . He is banned here, so I can not give you a link to his site. He was/is real close with Rick ward. He posted the other day on FB, that he knows him for over 30 years and even helped him become a dealer. He also mentioned a lot of details about the current situation of Rick ward.

I presume that since he knows so much about his current situation, he perhaps is still having contact with him. You can find Rick Bowles on the internet or look at his post about Rick Ward on the Randall Knives Facebook page. That is were he mentioned the details about his friend.

Forgot to mention you the best of luck! I also almost ordered two knives from him, but got a bad feeling about him and his communication skills and luckily canceled the order...
I still have the emails where we discussed the order. This one was
from the sixth of June 2018 and was my last one:

Hello Sir,


I am sorry but I ordered a knife elsewhere. I don't have much patients when somebody says he will email but does not. No offence but that's mostly an omen to more problems along the way.


Kind regards,


Micha
