[Paddlewise] The Ultimate Kayak

In the 52nd edition of "NSW Sea Kayak Magazine" there's a great article
by Tim Dillenbeck titled The Ultimate Kayak.  I'm wondering if anyone
out there is familiar with this boat or the author.  Did anything ever
come of the design.
On Kayak Knives:  I've had a folding Stainless steel knife living in my
pfd pocket for about 5 years now. It has a small rust stain around the
hinge pin but still works fine.  I WD 40 it maybe once a year.  Got it
at Wal Mart for less than $5.
