@dertnberny Actualy it is the Rawpanawal kukri.

That was their "Farmer's Kukri" It was unpolished or "Raw". It already had a very nice patina on it.

I'm not certain if your question was addressed to me. Anyway, yes, I do own an actual Khukri and yes, I have done this kind of work before.
Typically, these are work knives that are carbon steel. That means you can acid blue, rust brown, or parkerize the metal. Alloys will all have different results. As for the handle. There are 2 different kinds of rivets. High and low ductile strength. Low ductile strength are fine for a knife since they can be hammerd down with a normal hammer.

It was just an experiment.. I really didn't need to parkerize it, but I wanted to try the process to see how well it works.

why did you decide to sandblast the blade prior to treating it?

@captjeff78 Metal needs to be sandblasted for parkerizing. The surface must be very clean, free of any oils. Sandblasting is standard practice before any parkerizing job. Otherwise the finish won't be consistent.

@gilgsn thank you for your response. how did the finish hold up to wear? is it easily removed?

@captjeff78 The finish is pretty resistant to hitting wood.. It does get scratched when hitting metal though, even aluminium. I did make the mistake of hitting tent poles with the side of the blade, and it left permanent scratches. That had never happened before cutting branches, even dried wood.
