I have bought a big kukri from Uncle Bill a couple of years ago and I always found him to be extremelly kind.

I'm trulu sorry to hear the news. I am sure he is much better now.

Need to also mention that the Himilayan Imports moderator Rusty Slate also passed quite suddenly just a few hours after Bill Martino.

Rusty's last post was "Uncle Bill is gone"

Uncle Bill passed around 4pm Pacific tiime on Monday March 28 and Rusty followed him about 12:30 am on Tuesday March 29. Sad day for HI and the khuk community. Rusty was 54.

We all knew that Bill Martino was "expected home." He had been very ill for a long time. However Rusty's sudden passing was a bigger shock as no one knew he was sick.
