No bonding exists between the two, as both are metals. However, it can be said that metallic bonding exists naturally within potassium and sodium respectively. For ionic bonding, a metal must be bonded with a non-metal. For covalent bonding, a metal is bonded with a non-metal (usually) metallic bonding exists in a metal per se, and it does not require any bonding with any other element.
