Operation Enduring Freedom Khukuri (OEFK Afghanistan)
持久自由行动呼可瑞 (OEFK 阿富汗)

Now, popularly known as ‘Afghan Kukri’; a desert military mission knife and tool. A tribute to the heroic soldiers serving in Afghanistan
“阿富汗廓尔喀弯刀”现已广为人知，是沙漠特种作战刀和工具，是对在阿富汗服役的英雄士兵的致敬。

“Operation Enduring Freedom Khukuri” or OEFK is another outstanding frontline khukuri created by KHHI designated for soldiers serving in Afghanistan. The massive success of the OIFK (Operation Iraqi Freedom Khukuri) version and countless suggestions from thousands led to the invention of this one of a kind special and unique kukri that can play a key role as an effective fighting/combat knife and defensive/survival tool. Obviously it is not a standard issue knife but may be carried by an interested user/soldier as an essential part of his warfare kit just like a typical Gurkha soldiers who would not go out in a battle without his khukuri. With the ancient belief still going strong in Nepalese culture, where a khukuri is regarded as a safe keeper or a guarding angel it may be fair enough to assume that the OEFK would help stabilize and strengthen a soldier’s heart and mind spiritually, mentally and even practically.
“持久自由行动 Khukuri” 或 OEFK 是 KHHI 为在阿富汗服役的士兵设计的另一款出色的前线 Khukuri。OIFK（伊拉克自由行动 Khukuri）的巨大成功和来自数千人的无数建议导致了这款独一无二的特殊 Khukuri 的发明，可以作为有效的战斗/格斗刀和防御/求生工具发挥关键作用。虽然它不是标准的配发刀，但它可以被感兴趣的用户/士兵作为其作战装备的一部分，就像典型的廓尔喀士兵在没有 Khukuri 的情况下不会参加战斗。 在尼泊尔文化中，古老的信仰至今依然强势，廓尔喀弯刀被视为安全的守护者或守护天使，因此可以合理地推测，OEFK 将有助于在精神上、心理上甚至实际上稳定和增强士兵的内心。

Blade: 刀锋：

A Typical “Jungle’ or “Training /Combat” knife shaped blade but the mounting peak is some what straightened for swift in and out draw. Unpolished so doesn’t reflect, only 10 inch long so carrying and movement is easier and faster.

典型的“丛林”或“训练/战斗”刀形状的刀片，但安装峰值稍微拉直以便快速拔出和插入。没有抛光，因此不会反射，只有 10 英寸长，以便更容易、更快速地携带和移动。

Handle: 句柄：

Special handle used for combat, swiftness and safely. Typical khukuri shaped handle is replaced by KHHI’s exclusive handle where the top front portion is erected from the actual surface/level to protect the using handle; the erected contour will ensure the hand stays restricted within the handle so it can be prevented from slipping towards the sharp edge of the khukuri blade. The design and shape of the handle is crafted to give the best possible and fast handling. The full flat tang goes all the way through the handle, glued to the wooden pieces and further riveted to strengthen the whole fixture. The regular butt cap (pommel) is discarded but the naked tang pops out of the handle where a circular hole is made as a lanyard hole (wrist cord). White wood is used for the handle to match it or camouflage it with the uniforms of the soldier.
用于战斗、快速和安全操作的特殊手柄。传统的廓尔喀弯刀手柄被 KHHI 独特的手柄取代，其顶部前部从实际表面/水平面上竖起，以保护使用者的手；竖起的轮廓将确保手限制在手柄内，防止其滑向廓尔喀弯刀刀刃的锋利边缘。手柄的设计和形状经过精心打造，提供最佳和最快的操控性。全平柄在手柄中贯穿到底，粘在木块上，并进一步铆接以加强整个连接。常规尾帽（球形柄头）被去除，但裸露的柄从手柄中伸出，在该处制作了一个圆形孔作为挂绳孔（腕带）。 白色木材用于制作手柄，使其与士兵制服相配或伪装起来。

Back Up / Baby Knife:

The usefulness and uniqueness of the kukri; featuring perfect size and excellent grip is further boosted and taken to a next level up by the addition of the extra utility back up knife, to perform just about any cutting activities; small or big, minor or major. The small straight knife, crafted much stronger and better than the regular companion of a kukri (Karda) makes possible to cut even the smallest things and cuttings. This back up knife or aspect will give the much needed support making the whole knife package more useful and worthy to have it in combat and harsh terrains.
弯刀的实用性和独特性得益于完美尺寸和卓越的抓握力，而额外的多功能备用刀的加入更是使其如虎添翼，可以执行几乎任何切割活动，无论大小或轻重。这款小直刀，比弯刀的普通伴侣（Karda）制作得更加坚固和优秀，可以切割更小的东西和切屑。这把备用刀或方面将提供急需的支持，使整个刀具包更实用，更值得在战斗和崎岖地形中使用。

Scabbard: 鞘

The normal black leather sheath having the B-up housing in its throat is covered by a very strong and good-looking dessert fabric that blends with the handle color and also with the uniform of the soldier. This is done to camouflaged the khukuri (does not stand out) so that it does not attract any unwanted attention or catches an eye in the battle field. Almost the same color frog with lace -up system is fitted from outside (as seen in the photo) to attached a belt loop to carry the khukuri from waist level. Similarly a small belt loop with a snap fastener button is fitted in the frog to tie the handle to prevent it from wobbling while the user is in motion, making the carriage very easy and comfortable.
普通的黑色皮革刀鞘，在刀鞘口部有一个 B 型向上突起，由非常结实美观、与刀柄颜色和士兵制服相配的织物覆盖。这样做是为了伪装弯刀（不显眼），使其在战场上不会引起任何不必要的注意或引人注目。几乎相同颜色的绑带式蛙鞋从外部安装（如图所示），以连接腰带环从腰部携带弯刀。同样，蛙鞋上还安装了一个带按扣按钮的小皮带环，用于系住刀柄，防止使用者在运动时刀柄晃动，使携带非常方便舒适。
