Thats interesting Phillip, Ive only etched about 10 laminated kukris { All from my own collection.} But 2 exhibit clear Tibetan hairpin style of forging.

So I guess it just depends on which kukis you happend to etch. There a lot of individualty amongst them even in the steel types & patterns.

I admired your skill on your work for JP. That fir tree kukri had a wonderfull pattern indeed!
