‘Jungle’ Kukri; the training Knife.. from optional to no.2 official issue; exercise to mission
“丛林”廓尔喀弯刀;训练刀。从可选到正式装备;练习到实战。
Initially, this was not a standard army issue khukuri but a popular Gurkha knife carried by Gurkha Soldiers for training, exercise, and combat. The knife has been closely associated with the Gurkhas since it was first picked up in around early 1960s, often bought from army store called “PRI shop”. The need for a rough utility knife to perform in the active army service (lower rank) provoked the demand of the Jungle and soon it was found widely in use by Gurkhas for just about any activities that involved cutting, clearing, and cleaning. The very shape, size, and features of the Jungle served the objectives of jungle warfare or jungle training and thus was categorized as the “Jungle Kukri” to truly meet its identity.
最初,这不是标准的军队制式廓尔喀弯刀,而是廓尔喀士兵用于训练、演习和战斗的常用廓尔喀刀。这把刀自 20 世纪 60 年代初左右开始使用以来,就与廓尔喀士兵紧密相连,通常在名为“PRI 商店”的军需商店购买。对现役军队(低级别)使用粗糙的多用途刀的需求引发了对丛林的需求,很快廓尔喀士兵发现它广泛用于任何涉及切割、清理和清洁的活动。丛林的形状、尺寸和特点完全满足了丛林作战或丛林训练的目标,因此被归类为“丛林廓尔喀弯刀”,以真正符合其特征。
KHHI named it as ‘Jungle Training Knife‘ to save the name, identity, features, and function of the original version. Later the same kukri became the source of No.2 whose issuance started from early 1990’s.
为了保存原版廓尔喀弯刀的名称、标识、特点和功能,KHHI将其命名为“丛林训练刀”。 后来,同一款廓尔喀弯刀成为 2 号的来源,2 号的配发始于 1990 年代初期。
British Gurkha soldiers can make their own pick when it comes to a junglee khukuri. One may go for a shorter or longer, heavier or lighter, or even thinner or broader. Since the standard issue had to be well looked after; very clean and shinny, Gurkhas opted for another knife that was ideally filled in by the khukuri sold by the army shop (supply) which Gurkhas later named it as “Jungle”. This trend still continues to date but now with the changing time and fashion modern Gurkhas even go for other improvised versions.
英国廓尔喀士兵可以根据自己的喜好选择丛林弯刀。他们可以选择更短或更长的、更重或更轻的,甚至更薄或更宽的刀。由于标准问题必须得到妥善处理,廓尔喀人选择另一种由军队商店(供应)出售的弯刀作为替代品,廓尔喀人后来将其命名为“丛林”。这种趋势一直延续至今,但随着时代和时尚的变化,现代廓尔喀人甚至会选择其他改进版本。
Since the “Jungle” kurki knife was discovered it has faced numerous official trainings, exercises, operations and even combats but sadly it deeds have hardly been documented or recognized. It is our belief that the development of modern more effective army gears overshadowed the importance and usage of the kukri.
自从发现“丛林”廓尔喀弯刀以来,它经历了无数次的官方训练、演习、行动甚至战斗,但令人遗憾的是,它的功绩鲜为人知。我们认为,现代更有效的军队装备的开发掩盖了廓尔喀弯刀的重要性和用途。
Jungle kukri made by Khukuri House, KHHI forged out of old discarded spring steel 5160
由 Khukuri House 使用旧废弃弹簧钢 5160 制造的丛林弯刀
Jungle Kukri is a totally unpolished full-size military khukuri identical to Service no.1. Since it is designed for rough use finishing (shining) is not done either in the blade or handle. This also comes as an advantage to the khukuri as the total unpolished format enhances the cutting ability and durability of the blade as losing of temper is prevent by avoiding the long machinery process undertaken to polish a blade. The unpolished horn handle of the Jungle provides better grip and easier handling too.
丛林弯刀是一款完全没有抛光的军用弯刀,与 1 号军刀完全相同。由于它专为粗糙的使用而设计,因此刀刃或刀柄都没有进行抛光。这对弯刀来说也是一个优势,因为未抛光的设计增强了刀刃的切割能力和耐用性,并且由于避免了抛光刀刃的长时间机械加工过程,因此不会损失回火。丛林弯刀未经抛光的牛角手柄也提供了更好的抓握力和更轻松的操作。
Some Jungles are also camouflaged by green cotton cloth or similar materials by soldiers for warfare to ensemble with their uniform and not to attract any unwanted attention. Jungle has a basic black colored buffalo hide leather scabbard with twin belt loop frog as seen in the picture. Brass fixtures are fitted to complete (make) the khukuri.
一些丛林也由士兵在战争期间用绿色棉布或类似材料伪装,以便与他们的制服相协调,避免不必要的注意。丛林有一个基本款的黑色水牛皮刀鞘,带有双皮带环蛙,如图所示。黄铜装置被用来完成(制作)廓尔喀弯刀。
