I hope the following is appropriate for me to say...............
Way before I ever heard of any modern name brand of khukuri knife, I had heard the name of Mr. John Powell.
I think he has been one heck of an asset to the knife community, and I sure hope all goes well for him.
Though I have never met the man, I vividly remember him in that photo with him grinning in front of part of his khukuri knife collection.
May god bless him with getting through okay during this rough time.
