I ordered a custom ak a couple years ago that had dragons etched on the blade and the knife is my favorite knife. I sleep with it. It is the protector of the realm..lol. When I received it I tried to find info on the Kami marks on the hi site and couldn't find any matches. It appears as though the etching tool that made the Kami Mark had a hard time penatrating the metal for it looks like it danced across the surface a bit. I can't tell what it is..? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated from you long time HI guru's.

Man you got me? Thats why i dont like them engraving pens. The metal and everything is no different than any other Khuks but the marks are definitely hard to make out. I have a few like that as well but one is an AKB therefore I know its Bhakta. That one looks like a kitty khat or something? Ill stare at it some more and see if something comes to mind.
Here goes the ink spot test:rolleyes:
 
It could be Rajkumar. I have a Bashpati from him that auntie confirmed he made. I also have a Rajkumar double sided dragon engraved Silver Mounted AK. If the dragon is the same or very similar, I would hazard a guess, and say it could be a Rajkumar work.



 
I believe your right cul. The Devanagari is the same on both blades. Here is known Rajkumar also:

That's a Purna, the Bulls head kami. It's just tough to make out because of the electro pencil.
 
Blades that two kamis worked on have carried two markings in the past as well, as far as I can remember...
