Indeed Lew!
 Etching will reveal something, what though is another questian! Probably mono steel hopefully differentialy tempered, but in Nepal one never truly knows, if made from recycled steel it could be anything... A light etch will reveal all & can be easily polished out again, if required.. Spiral |

Etching might reveal some nice "jelly roll" pattern welded damascus which is quite specific of Nepal blades...

I think with a little study you will find, "jelly roll" as you call it is typicaly Tibetan. Ive seen a few "hairpin" kukri , but never anything Nepali style with "jelly roll" Have you an example? It would be interesting to see. Spiral |
