Khukuri with Kothimora Sheath & Dragon carved blade; for gifts, decoration, and army
廓尔喀弯刀，配有鞘和龙形雕刻刀片，可用于礼品、装饰和军队。

Kothimora Dragon is one of the most renowned piece of art mostly bought as decorative and or gifts, this work of art is further enhanced by the dragon engraving done on both sides of the blade. The blade is beautifully carved with dragons however the dragon carving does not have any significant meaning. It is just another picture that suits well on the shape of the blade. The elongated shape of the Dragon follows through the panel of the kukri blade and finishes giving a suiting and soothing look to the blade. All carvings are done by hand using only basic tools. It takes about 5-7 hours to get a dragon done in a one standard blade.
科希莫拉龙是**最著名的艺术品之一**，主要用于装饰和礼品。这件艺术品通过刀刃两侧的龙形雕刻进一步提升了美观。刀刃上雕刻着精美的龙形图案，但这些图案没有任何特别的含义。它们只是与刀刃形状相配的另一幅图画。龙形的细长形状贯穿弯刀的刀面板，赋予刀刃一种和谐舒缓的外观。所有雕刻都是手工完成的，只使用基本工具。在一把标准的刀刃上完成一条龙的雕刻大约需要 5-7 个小时。

Kothimora khukuri has a 10 inch long blade with dragon carved blade and thus the name ‘Kothimora Dragon’. The kukri case is exclusively designed using pure silver filigree with top quality velvet background. Different beautiful patterns are carved in the scabbard depicting cultural and traditional values using only domestic tools. As mentioned above, it is a very special and old type of kukri widely used for ceremonies and given as gifts to mark one’s respect and appreciation.
科特莫拉军刀有一把 10 英寸长的刀刃，刀刃上刻着龙的图案，因此得名“科特莫拉龙”。军刀的刀鞘采用纯银花丝工艺制作，并配有优质天鹅绒衬里。刀鞘上雕刻着各种精美的图案，描绘了文化和传统价值观，这些图案仅使用手工工具雕刻而成。如上所述，这是一种非常特殊且古老的军刀，被广泛用于仪式，并作为礼物赠送，以表达一个人的敬意和谢意。

The blade is highly polished and handle made from horn and polished to complement with its very attractive silver scabbard.
刀片经过高度抛光，手柄由牛角制成并抛光，与精致的银鞘相得益彰。

Meaning and history of the Kothimoras 
克辛摩拉的意义和历史

Kothimora in strict khukuri term means khukuri knife with a silver scabbard. It is a khukuri that has a special place and value in Nepalese culture and society. The exclusive silver scabbard with beautiful carvings in it also makes this khukuri a first choice gift to express one’s appreciation and gratefulness amongst Nepalese especially the Gurkhas (Nepalese in Army).
廓尔喀弯刀，在尼泊尔严谨的廓尔喀语中，意思是带银鞘的廓尔喀刀。这种廓尔喀刀在尼泊尔文化和社会中拥有特殊的地位和价值。 独特的银鞘上刻有精美的图案，也使它成为尼泊尔人表达感谢和感激之情的首选礼物，尤其是廓尔喀人（尼泊尔军队）。

The history of the knife dates back to mid eighteen hundreds when Kings and Generals of Gorkha possessed kothimora to reflect their rank, status and authority (many historic paintings also show this). People from very high ranks owned kothimora decorated with gold, precious stones, ivory and diamonds sometimes to demonstrate who is in command. Kothimora then were actually known as “Kothi-Moda”, which in Nepalese literature means molding in and around the chape portion of the scabbard; Kothi – Chape, Moda – to Mould. Since silver turned out to be the best materials amongst the selected and gave a precious and distinct look to the khukuri, it was extensively used; the trend that exists still today. However Kothimodas then were much different than present ones.
刀的历史可以追溯到 19 世纪中叶，当时廓尔喀的国王和将军们拥有 kothimora 来反映他们的等级、地位和权威（许多历史绘画也展示了这一点）。来自很高等级的人拥有用金子、宝石、象牙和钻石装饰的 kothimora，有时是为了表明谁在指挥。Kothimora 当时实际上被称为“Kothi-Moda”，在尼泊尔文献中，它意味着在刀鞘的末端部分进行模制；Kothi – 末端，Moda – 模制。由于银被证明是所选材料中最好的，并且赋予了 khukuri 一种贵重而独特的外观，因此它被广泛使用；这种趋势至今仍然存在。然而，当时的 Kothimoda 与现在的 Kothimoda 却大不相同。

social value and use of the Kothimora khukuri
科希莫拉弯刀的社会价值及其用途

Kothimora is also worn as a part of bridegroom’s ceremonial dress in Nepalese marriage custom. The bridegroom tucks his kothimora khukuri in his sash and keeps it throughout the ceremony. This is done in a belief that the khukuri would safe guard him and protect his new family from evils, sins and bad spirit. The khukuri would also fill in for him in his absence in ritual practices.
在尼泊尔的婚礼习俗中，柯提摩拉也是新郎礼服的一部分。新郎会将他的柯提摩拉廓尔喀弯刀插在腰带上，并在整个仪式中一直佩戴着。这是为了相信廓尔喀弯刀可以保护他和他的新家庭免受邪恶、罪恶和邪灵的侵害。在仪式习俗中，当新郎缺席时，廓尔喀弯刀也会代替他出席。

The legendary customary in British Gurkhas of giving away souvenir pieces to retiring officers for their loyalty and service is only completed by a Kothimora. Typically “Regimental Kothimoras” (Kothimora with regimental cap badge mounted on it) are presented to retiring officers to mark his long service, dedication, discipline and also army’s satisfaction by his comrades.
在英国廓尔喀 Gurkhas 部队中，有一个传统的习俗，即由 Kothimora 为退役军官赠送纪念品，以表彰他们的忠诚和服务。通常情况下，’团 Kothimoras’（在上面安装了团徽的 Kothimora）会赠送给退役军官，以纪念他们多年的服务、奉献、纪律以及军队对他们的认可。
