Wow the camo kukri looks sick! Did you do it yourself? :thumbup: What type of coating is that?

Yep. It's Duracoat, I drew out the camo pattern myself with masking tape and a razor blade. I made the Kydex sheath as well. Thanks.

Here's mine. I did a patina on it, but for some reason I've got like a million little needle-tip-sized holes in the steel from a citric bath,
which I've never gotten on any other carbon steel knives before. Very strange. It's like as if the carbides on the surface rusted away or something.
All of the little black spots on the second image are actually small craters, not discolorations.

Here's mine. I did a patina on it, but for some reason I've got like a million little needle-tip-sized holes in the steel now (from a citric acid bath).

Man, forget the san mai kukri, that looks awesome!

Thanks! I've convexed the edge as well (budget San Mai ).
