Some time ago, JP decided to disperse the bulk of his collection so that others could enjoy the many fine pieces he had collected over the years. Since he was not actively keeping up with the latest research to keep his material current, he took down his own web site. He requested that other sites containing his older work, such as the HI Kukri FAQ and the SFI kukri articles, also be removed. There is a great deal of knowledge scattered across the Internet, with new information being developed all the time. We all owe a great debt of gratitude to John for his pioneering work.:thumbup:
