other khukuri aficionados, who often gather at the Himalayan Imports Forum]
"It is tempting to credit me for a lot of information about khukuris,
kamis, Gorkhas and Nepal. This credit would be misplaced. The
real credit belongs to the many kamis, Gorkhas and in general the people
of Nepal who gave the information to me. I am simply a reporter repeating
things that were told to me over the years." --Bill Martino, Himalayan Imports
