Since my last post I think the world has descended even further into the jaws of hell. The United States is divided as never before, probably not since the 1860s and the war over States Rights VS Federal power. BUT I don't want to talk about this or the damned Corona virus. I am sick of hearing excuses for destroying our economy and freedoms under the guise of a virus. So something positive is the best medicine i can think of.
I am in solid contact with a major publisher who is seriously interested in publishing my book on Clandestine Knives. I just got a contract to review. This is about 6 months after I had started communications and then talks went dead while the publisher was readjusting to the pandemic too. But it looks very promising, if I agree to the contract. I have yet to read it all the way through. I wanted to share this information with you though so you knew I was still actively searching for a publisher to get this material in print. My other two volumes will be my next focus. The volume on the early years is about 75% but I have to rewrite the Shanghai section since coming into contact with more of the knives including my own purchase. That story in itself is worthy of a movie! It has all the twists and turns of a dime store detective novel.

No, you are not experiencing double vision. That's what I first thought, but there are slight differences. The workmanship and detail are incredible. They are priceless links in the Commando knife story but for various reason they are not well suited for a combat role. I believe that Fairbairn was fully aware of their shortcomings as a fighting knife and had the temerity to rethink what changes were needed to best meet the commando's needs. In my other manuscript on the early years I go into detail on this process change and the missing links between the SMP daggers and the First Pattern daggers.
I apologize for the watermark but i know some people cannot resist copying my stuff and using it in their book so it ruins it for everyone else who just wants a copy for themselves.
