尼泊尔廓尔喀丛林弯刀是为 SPFGC 提供的一种工作和实用刀，适合警察使用。

‘Gurkha Jungle’ is the second standard service issue khukuri of the famous Singapore Police Force Gurkha Contingent or “SPFGC” (explained below). Personnel are issued with this full unpolished kukri knife for training, exercise, assignments and for special tasks. Unlike the British Gurkha’s “no.2” version, this khukuri of SPFGC is completely different. Its made in “ChainPure” version. The selection committee has decided to go with this type of khukuri probably to easily differentiate it from the parade version and perhaps to distinguish it from the British Gurkha’s type.
‘“廓尔喀丛林”是新加坡警察部队廓尔喀警察部队（简称“警察部队廓尔喀警察部队”）的第二把标准制式廓尔喀军刀。 警务人员配备了这种全未抛光的廓尔喀军刀，用于训练、演习、任务和特殊任务。 与英国廓尔喀的“2 号”版本不同，警察部队廓尔喀警察部队的这种廓尔喀军刀完全不同。 它采用“ChainPure”版本。 选择委员会决定采用这种类型的廓尔喀军刀，可能是为了便于与阅兵版区分开来，也可能是为了与英国廓尔喀的类型区分开来。’

The ChaiPure format in which the “Gurkha Jungle” is made from is a lighter and slender version. This version has been specifically chosen to ease the work and carry load for a policeman. Moreover with the addition of 1 inch to the standard 10 inch long gives more coverage and range.
“廓尔喀丛林”中使用的一种轻量级且苗条的 ChaiPure 格式版本。 此版本经过特别设计，旨在减轻警官的工作量和负荷。 此外，在标准的 10 英寸长度上增加 1 英寸，可以提供更大的覆盖范围和射程。

廓尔喀丛林/第二服务号尼泊尔军刀（反曲刀）作为一把刀

The blade is 11 inches long, totally unpolished from tip to ricasso forged in the village model the “ChainPure” having the regular closed notch. The pointed nozzle in from of the notch is the blood dripper. The blade also has the regular brass inlay pattern of the ChainPure. A rat tail tang goes through the handle (hidden) which is peened over at the brass keeper at the extreme end of the handle. The regular metallic bolster is discarded and replaced by an ace-shaped keeper to secure the tang at the butt section. Fine contours of the handle also provide easy and strong hold.The total unpolished format also gives advantage as it enhances the cutting ability and durability of the blade as losing of temper is prevented by avoiding the long machinery process undertaken to polish it.
刀片长 11 英寸，从刀尖到刀茎部完全未抛光，采用 “ChainPure” 村庄模型锻造，具有规则的闭合缺口。缺口前面的尖头是血槽。刀片还具有 ChainPure 的常规黄铜镶嵌图案。一根大老鼠尾形的刀柄贯穿刀柄（隐藏），并在刀柄末端的黄铜护手上进行锤击。原有的金属刀枕被丢弃，并由一个王牌形状的护手代替，以固定刀柄的末端部分。刀柄的精致轮廓也提供了轻松而牢固的握持力。这种完全未抛光的形式还带来了优势，因为它增强了刀片的切割能力和耐用性，因为避免进行长时间的抛光机械加工工艺可以防止退火。

The scabbard is plain and simple made from water buffalo hide. It has a single loop belt holder (frog) for the belt to go through to carry from waist level. A protective brass chape (tip) is also fitted in the scabbard for support and look.

It is an all-out all-purpose utility knife that carries the history and also has all characters of an assault knife.
它是一款多功能百搭工具刀，既拥有悠久的历史传承，又兼具突击刀的全部特征。

What is Singapore Police Force Gurkha Contingent or SPFGC?
新加坡警察部队廓尔喀中队（SPFGC）是新加坡警察部队的一个特殊部队，由廓尔喀士兵组成。廓尔喀人是来自尼泊尔的勇敢而忠诚的战士，他们有着悠久的军事服务历史。SPFGC 成立于 1949 年，最初的任务是维护新加坡的内部安全。近年来，SPFGC 也参与了各种其他行动，包括反恐和维和。廓尔喀士兵以其纪律、勇气和忠诚而闻名。他们对新加坡的和平与安全做出了宝贵的贡献

The Gurkha Contingent or “GC” is a line department of the “Singapore Police Force”. Members of the GC are trained to be highly-skilled and are selected for their display of strong discipline and dedication in their tasks. The principal role of the contingent is to be a special guard force, and is currently used as a counter-terrorist force.
廓尔喀警察部队，简称“廓警”，是新加坡警察部队的所属部门。廓警队员经过严格训练，拥有高超的技能，并在执行任务时展现出强大的纪律性和奉献精神，因此被选中。廓警的主要职责是担任特种警卫部队，目前被用作反恐部队。

The GC was formed on 9 April 1949 in the wake of Indian independence from the British Empire, where Gurkhas battalions from the British Indian Army were divided between the Indian Army and the British Army. Those transferred to the British Army were posted to other remaining British Colonies, and Singapore being one of them.
廓尔喀部队于 1949 年 4 月 9 日在印度独立于大英帝国后组建。当时，廓尔喀营从英属印度军队中分离，分别并入印度军队和英国军队。被调往英国陆军的部队被派驻到其他剩余的英国殖民地，其中包括新加坡。

After Singapore gain independence form the British, GC played a crucial role in controlling riots and violence amongst the ethnic groups that threatened the very existence of the new born country. Their presence as a neutral force was important because local police officers were often perceived to be (or were even expected to be) biased towards their own ethnic groups when handling racial disturbances, further fueling discontent and violence. Thus the Gurkha Contingent as an impartial force at the time stabilized the country and its sovereignty as personnel (Nepalese) in GC were Nepalese hailing from another country, religion and background. Nepalese were more than perfect and suited for the job and hence were integrated to the national security force of the country forming “Singapore Police Force Gurkha Contingent” or “SPFGC”.
新加坡独立后，廓尔喀卫队在控制不同种族之间发生的骚乱和暴力事件方面发挥了至关重要的作用，这些骚乱和暴力事件曾威胁到这个新国家的生存。廓尔喀卫队作为中立力量的存在非常重要，因为当地警察通常被认为（甚至被期望）在处理种族骚乱时偏袒他们自己的种族群体，这进一步加剧了不满和暴力。因此，廓尔喀卫队作为一个公正的力量，通过保持其尼泊尔血统来稳定了该国的局势及其主权。廓尔喀卫队的士兵（尼泊尔人）来自另一个国家、宗教和背景。 ## Nepalese were more than perfect and suited for the job and hence were integrated to the national security force of the country forming “Singapore Police Force Gurkha Contingent” or “SPFGC”.
