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!
