Summer Vacation and the Future of KNIFE NOTES
Dear Friends-
The summer has proven a busy one. I have been deeply involved in some projects that have absorbed my time and unfortunately Knife Notes has taken the brunt of the neglect.
The good news is that the fruit of the projects hopes to be sweet. First, my sister and I came up with a nice proposal for a knife exhibition at a major US museum. Second, I have been spending a lot of time editing video towards The Solingen Project documentary (although the completion date has been delayed until April 2009). Finally, I have personally been working on a knife prototype unlike anything I am aware of on the market. I hope to have a working production model done by October.
I will be back doing daily posts in September.
Summer is whizzing by so make sure to take some time if you can to smell the flowers while they are still in bloom. If you know anything about Western Washington then you know how much we covet the short summer. It can rain here for 30 days without stopping in the Winter. All jokes about webbed feet aside we get used to it for the most part.
See you all soon!

Keep up the good work. Your post are interesting and I am glade to see others blogging on knives. I know the time and energy required to write and keep up with other projects.
I am interested in your Solingen Project. A much needed work.

Hi Scott-
Thanks for the comments and support. I just visited your site and I think it is great. I will spend some more time on it when I can.
You are correct with the time constraints. But I hope to get back to some posting next week and to work on the video this Winter to have it ready for this coming Spring.
Let me know if there is anything I can do in relation to your Cutlery Journal Website.
Keep in touch!
Chris
