Dragon, the major attraction

 All kukris that belong under the carved dragon category are engraved with the picture of dragon on the blade. The engraving is done on both sides to beautify the look of the blade and also to show the craftsmanship of the engraver. The craftsmen who particularly belongs to the “Newars” community of Kathmandu have ancient ties with carving and making sculpture. Newars are the most artistic group among others in the Nepali community. There is no significant importance in carving dragon on the blade, it is done simply to comply with the elongated shape of the kukri blade. The carvings are done by hand using only basic tools(video attached).
属于“雕龙”类别的廓尔喀弯刀，其刀刃上均刻有龙形图案。该雕刻于刀刃两侧进行，既美化了刀刃外观，亦展现了雕刻師之技艺。雕刻这项技艺，尤以加德满都的“尼瓦尔人”社区为代表，其历史渊源悠久。尼瓦尔人是尼泊尔社群中最具艺术气息的群体。在廓尔喀弯刀的刀刃上雕刻龙形图案，并无特殊意义，这仅仅是为了配合廓尔喀弯刀细长的刀刃形状。雕刻工作由手工完成，仅使用基本工具（附视频）。

Value & Usage in Nepali festivals (ceremonies)
尼泊尔节庆典礼中的价值与应用

This is a large type of kukri used for sacrificing animals in festivals. “Dashain”, the main festival of Nepalese, which mostly falls in October is celebrated by sacrificing animals (buffaloes/goats) after necessary rituals are done on the 9th day called “Maar” during the 10-day long festival. It is customary in Nepal that families celebrate the festival by purchasing domestic animals from locals and sacrificing it at home or mostly at temples as an offering to the goddess “Durgamata”.
这是一种大型的廓尔喀弯刀，在节日中用于祭祀动物。尼泊尔的主要节日“达萨因”通常在十月举行，人们在经过必要的仪式后，在为期十天的节日中的第九天“马尔”进行动物祭祀（水牛/山羊）。在尼泊尔，家庭习惯于从当地人那里购买家畜，并在家里或主要在寺庙里作为祭品献给女神“杜尔加女神”。

It is also used on other ceremonial rituals of different community and ethnic groups. The major festivals/ceremonies that require a sacrifice are Dashain, Gadhimai, KukDevata (clan-deity) Pooja, and other small homes/temples worshipping mainly in Kali temple and Shaktipethas.
它也用于不同社区和民族群体的其他仪式。需要祭祀的主要节日/仪式是达沙因节、加迪迈节、廓尔喀德瓦塔（氏族神灵） पूजा，以及其他主要在卡利寺和沙克提皮塔斯进行的小型家庭/寺庙崇拜。

There is also a myth that the whole community where the ceremony is performed will suffer misfortune if the beheading is not done in one clean stroke. So a specific person with a skill to behead at once is given the responsibility.
