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.

You are right, rolled pattern is Tibetan, not Nepali. My mistake !

I could make one for you, but I don't think this is what you're looking for...
