5/30/7 Hello Freinds! I am writing from a Turkish Internet Cafe in the old part of Solingen. I spent this morning walking around this part of town filming the ruins of the old knife factories. There are so many! It rained for two days and I was able to get caught up with some of the preliminaries related to the interviews in the following days. But, today it is clear blue sky and I took the oppurtunity to film as much of the city as possible. Ernst Felix, president of Boker, is picking me up at my hotel at 2:00 and will take me on a tour of the facility. I will interview him on tape and hopefully film in their workshop. I spent the day yesterday at Puma-werk filming an interview with Heinz Peter Knoop. He is their lead designer and desigend the famous White Hunter and the Waidblatt and most of the models in the past 35 years. He is a great guy and did a fantastic interview. So far the trip has been smooth and without a hitch. The equipment is working well and so far everyone is enthusiastic about the project. More soon... Chris 5/21/7- I'll be leaving for Germany on May 27th to work on a documentary project about the history of the cutlery industry in Solingen. I plan to add updates about the trip as the days pass. If you are interested please keep an eye on this page for updates. 5/21/7 - On May 6th The New York Times Magazine published a full color spread about picnic knives. Out of the five examples they featured two of our knives! One was the Therias Navette which is a traditional French picnic knife. The other was the Maserin shotgun shell puller (not exactly a picnic knife - but they liked it!) The article brought a lot of attention to the new website and we sold out of those models quickly. As of today we have new shipments of these knives in transit.
