Well Ive had this kukri for a couple of years but etched it lightly this afternoon, {boiling vinigar.} & although I have a couple of laminated kukri, one in Tibetan hairpin style & also a coursly layered folded one, which are quite obvious, but to me this one seems a tottaly different type of metal or pattern, much finer.

what is it? Opinions & views needed!

Thankyou.
