Uncle Bill is gone --

Last night one of the really great guys, Bill Martino, of Himalayan Imports passed on. He was hanging on for quite a while with a variety of maladies.

A strong, but gentle man. He developed a group of kamis in Nepal who make some of the best khukuri I have seen. The only modern edged weapon that I collect.

We mourn his passing, but he leaves behind a group of friends that has no equal.

May he be free of the Wheel of Samsara.
