Birth of Dragon Kukri
浴血龙刃横空出世

Khukuri House (KH) initiated the production of the dragon kukris back in 1990’s, when Lalit Kumar Lama (the ex-Gurkha) was heading the charge. He realized kukri’s became popular as a souvenir craft in western society and decided to give new look and showcase the Nepalese craftsmanship. The dragon carving is done to make the blade more attractive and beautiful as a present or to showcase.
廓尔喀弯刀之家（KH）于 20 世纪 90 年代开始生产龙形廓尔喀弯刀，当时拉里特·库马尔·拉马（前廓尔喀士兵）领导了这项工作。他意识到廓尔喀弯刀在西方社会作为纪念品手工艺品而广受欢迎，并决定赋予其新的外观，展示尼泊尔的精湛工艺。龙形雕刻是为了使刀刃更具观赏性和美观性，作为礼物或展示之用。

Makers particularly from the “Newars” community of Kathmandu are involved in carving and sculpture culture hence most of the master craftsmen belong to Newar community.  “Dragon” carving has no such significance it is carved to display the talent of craftsmen. The carvings are done by hand and besides dragon other pictures of interest can also be carved. It takes about 5-7 hours to get a dragon done in a standard sized blade.
来自加德满都的“Newar”社区的制造商尤其擅长雕刻和雕塑文化，因此大多数大师级工匠都属于尼瓦尔社区。“龙”的雕刻没有这种意义，它被雕刻出来是为了展示工匠的天赋。雕刻都是手工完成的，除了龙之外，还可以雕刻其他有趣的图案。在一个标准尺寸的刀片上雕刻一条龙大约需要 5-7 个小时。

Bhojpur & its icon … the Bhojpure Kukri
比哈尔邦及其标志… 比哈尔邦廓尔喀弯刀

Bhojpur, a far eastern hilly village of Nepal where farming is the prime source of livelihood is famous for its khukuris (Local Production) since man first knew kukri. This ancient village produces number of khukuris of various types but its proto type named after the village itself “the BhojPure” introduced about a century ago is the most famous of all. Farmers used it and still use it to accomplish their daily domestic and livelihood activities that require cutting and hacking. It is more than just a cutting knife for a farmer- in fact its his partner and his guardian. BhojPure because it is old and treasured khukuri has its own traditional and religious values in Nepalese culture. It is believed that a BhojPure khukuri would bring good fortune and prosperity when kept at home, it would also safe guard a home from evil and Satan spirits, would help a man sleep well when kept under his pillow, a bridegroom carries his ancestral BhojPure khukuri in his sash during marriage ceremony to represent his entire family and some typical families discard a BhojPure khukuri belonging to the dead man in his last rite believing it would scare away all evil spirits and take its master to heaven. All most all Nepalese keep the BhojPure kukri at home primarily because of these above beliefs.
位于尼泊尔东部山区的博杰普尔村庄，以其自古以来闻名的廓尔喀弯刀（当地生产）而闻名。这个古老的村庄生产各种类型的弯刀，但其中最著名的是大约一个世纪前以村庄本身命名的“博杰普尔”原型弯刀。农民们用它来完成他们日常的家庭和生计活动，这些活动需要切割和砍伐。它不仅仅是一把农夫用的砍刀——事实上，它是他的伙伴和他的守护者。博杰普尔弯刀因其古老和珍贵而在尼泊尔文化中具有其自身的传统和宗教价值。 据信，将 BhojPure khukuri 放在家中会带来好运和繁荣，它还能保护房屋免受邪灵和撒旦的侵害。 将 khukuri 放在枕头下有助于睡眠。 在婚礼仪式中，新郎会将其祖传的 BhojPure khukuri 别在腰带上，代表其整个家族。 一些典型的家庭会在死者最后的仪式中丢弃死者生前使用的 BhojPure khukuri，因为他们相信它可以驱散一切邪灵，并将死者带到天堂。 几乎所有尼泊尔人都会在家中放置 BhojPure kukri，这主要是因为上述信仰。

A Bhojpure khukuri is wider and heavier than the standard army knives. The blade is also made thicker to ease and quicken the cutting action. Since it is basically a cutting knife it is kept/made very simple. BhojPure these days are the modernized version of its older counterparts. They have been better finished to give better look and appeal.
比哈尔邦的弯刀比标准军刀更宽更重。刀刃也更厚，以便于和加快切割。因为它基本上是一把切割刀，所以它的设计非常简单。如今的比哈尔邦弯刀是其旧款刀的现代化版本。它们经过了更好的抛光，使它们看起来更美观，也更吸引人。

A BhojPure is an outstanding working knife that can be also be used in rough condition. It also makes an excellent and unique gift since the knife is historic, iconic and has religious values. Heartily loved by all Nepalese..
