重塑昔日之优雅与庄严，以这款精雕细琢的历史廓尔喀弯刀重温辉煌时刻

Originally sold as a private purchase or gift piece for mid-level to senior British Indian officers, this khukuri harkens back to the time prior to the end of the British Raj in India (1920-1935). This is a time when a dignified style/status was something expected and meant for so-called high ranking British Indian officers only. Believed to have been made in Dehradun, India in a standard facility of that time, the distinct Crescent stamp in the blade denotes the standard British officers’ rank. This khukuri showcases the highest level of skills of the craftsmen. It is very rare to have chirra/fuller during that time so the maker certainly wanted to do something different and make it special. The same effort can also be seen in the handle which is pleasantly artistic. Although targeted for display purpose or as a gift it is definitely a useable blade since it’s so well made keeping all attributes of a hardcore battle knife in mind.
这把  khukuri 最初是作为私人购买或礼品送给中高级英国印度军官的，可以追溯到英国在印度统治结束之前的时期（1920-1935 年）。这是一个注重尊严的风格/地位的时代，只适合所谓的英国印度高级军官。据信这把刀是在印度的德拉敦一个当时标准的工厂里制造的，刀刃上的独特的新月形印记表明了标准的英国军官军衔。这把  khukuri 展示了工匠的最高技能水平。在那个时代，很少有  chirra/fuller，所以制造者肯定想做一些与众不同的事情，使它特别。同样的努力也可以在手柄上看到，手柄非常艺术，令人赏心悦目。虽然这把刀是作为展示品或礼物，但它绝对是一把实用的刀，因为它制作精良，兼顾了硬核战斗刀的所有属性。

This ‘Vintage Khukuri’ is a joint venture between Michael Laidlow and KHHI Nepal.
这把“复古廓尔喀弯刀”是迈克尔·莱德洛与 KHHI 尼泊尔合作打造的。

Here the sole purpose is to reproduce the exact version so that the beauty and essence of the original kukri is not limited to one person (owner) but for the whole mass to enjoy and take pride in it. This khukuri certainly plays an important role in the history and development of the modern khukuri we know today. This accurate reproduction of an original piece from the period is beautifully detailed with polished buffalo horn handle, banded with engraved brass rings and butt cap, the crescent stamp of the master craftsman and perfectly placed chirra (fullers) along the blade to add to the elegance and incredible lightweight of the blade. The spectacular and unique work on the khukuri appeals to any observer. Moreover, the sheath is beautifully decorated by hand-carved brass chape in the tip/front section. Likewise, the artistically prepared brass plate mounted on the frog gives a classic and stunning look to the whole look and status of the khukuri. This vintage khukuri is a high-end product in every way and form. A must-have for the discerning/serious kukri collectors.
