I am deeply honoured to have been given the opportunity by the Owner and Managing Director of KHHI, Mr. Saroj Tamang Lama, to help design and name his exciting new release, the “MK-Patriot General Service Issue” Khukuri. For all KHHI already have an extensive range and styles of Khukuris and are well known for their superior quality blades, I decided to design the MK-Patriot for practical use in remote or hostile environments and aimed at Military personnel and other such organisations or individuals who spend their time working within the Survival / Bushcraft field of operations. My past experience as a former member of British Army Special Forces has led me to believe that a good solid well built knife is a must when working or training within these remote / hostile situations but because of the numerous and differing amounts of tasks that can be undertaken when working in these environments, I also believe that there is no one knife that can perform every task without compromising weight and space! With this in mind, I have designed the MK-Patriot to be as near as possible to the perfect all round general purpose utility bushcraft tool whilst at the same time retaining the traditional shape and features of the Nepalese khukuri!I chose the name for this new release, MK as these are my initials and PATRIOT because this represents for me my own strong personal feelings of patriotism for My Queen and Country, but also to represent the brave and loyal Gurkha Soldier for whom the Khukuri is both a national symbol of their Country and The famous Brigade of Gurkhas whom they have served with distinction for over 200 years.
作为 KHHI 的现有产品，他们已经拥有多种多样的 Khukuri 刀，并且以其卓越的刀刃质量而闻名。 因此，我决定将 MK-Patriot 设计为在偏远或敌对环境中实际使用，主要面向军事人员和其他此类组织或个人，他们花费时间在生存/丛林技能作业领域工作。 能够与 Saroj Tamang Lama 先生合作设计和命名这款新刀，我深感荣幸。 作为一名英国特种部队的前成员，我的经验告诉我，一把结实耐用、做工精良的好刀是你在这些偏远/危险的环境中工作或训练时必不可少的工具。然而，由于在这些环境中工作时需要执行如此之多的不同任务，所以我也不认为有任何一把刀能够在不影响重量和空间的情况下完成所有任务。正是出于这个原因，我才设计了 MK-Patriot，让它尽可能地接近于完美的全能通用野外求生工具，同时还能保留尼泊尔廓尔喀弯刀的传统形状和特点!我为这个新版本选择的名字是 MK，这是我的名字缩写，PATRIOT 代表了我对我女王和国家的强烈爱国情怀，也代表了勇敢忠诚的廓尔喀士兵。廓尔喀弯刀是他们的国家象征，他们为廓尔喀旅团服役超过 200 年，该旅团以其英勇而闻名。

BLADE: The MK Patriot has a 12″ blade that is constructed from well polished 5160 high carbon steel. It is skilfully hollow grind with a deep fuller to give the blade strength combined with balance which feels good in the hand whilst at the same time reducing the overall weight. The thickness of the blade is only 7mm at the ricasso and it has a distal tapered gently curved spine. It is 64mm at the widest point of the blade giving it enough weight to be used as a serious chopping implement . It is finished off with a unique shaped cho / kaudi.
MK 爱国者拥有 12 英寸的刀片，采用抛光良好的 5160 高碳钢制成。 精巧的空心磨削和深凹槽赋予刀片强度和平衡感，握持舒适，同时减轻了整体重量。 刀片在刀柄处的厚度仅为 7 毫米，并具有远端锥形，略微弯曲的刀脊。 刀片最宽处为 64 毫米，足以作为严肃的砍切工具。 它采用独特形状的 cho / kaudi 进行收尾。

HANDLE: The handle is constructed and carved from unpolished Indian Rosewood (for a better grip ) and is fitted onto the blade with a stick tang for strength and durability and secured at either end with a Brass bolster and end cap. The handle itself is slightly curved in the traditional way which helps reduce wrist strain when in use and it is complemented by a nice decorative brass binding round the centre of the handle
手柄由未经打磨的印度红木制成和雕刻而成（更佳的抓握力），并采用棍形柄安装在刀片上，以增强强度和耐用性，并在两端用黄铜垫圈和端盖固定。手柄本身以传统方式略微弯曲，这有助于在使用时减少手腕的压力，并且手柄中心有一个漂亮的装饰性黄铜包边。

COMPANION KNIFE:  I have included a very practical  6 3/4″ long companion / back up knife with this khukuri made from the same materials as the Mother knife with the blade being 4mm thickness for strength and durability. This smaller knife can be used for the many smaller bushcraft tasks such as skinning, gutting, carving, whittling, and slicing. It sits firmly in a housing pouch in  the lower front section of the scabbard for ease of access

SCABBARD:  The scabbard is very nicely made from wood covered in quality brown Buffalo embossed leather hide in the traditional Nepalese shape. It also has a handle retaining strap for better holding security of the main Khukuri
剑鞘：剑鞘由优质棕色水牛压花皮革制成，采用尼泊尔传统式样。它还配有一个手柄固定带，可以更好地固定主廓尔喀弯刀。

All in all, I fully endorse the whole concept of the MK Patriot and in my opinion, it is large enough to carry out most bushcraft duties, chopping, slashing, battoning, and most other tasks, but at the same time small enough to either stash away inside your back pack or Bergen or even attach to the outside for easier access or attach to your waist belt without being too much of a weight issue, A must for anyone who ventures into the Great Outdoors.
总之，我完全支持 MK 爱国者的整体理念。我认为，它足够大，可以执行大多数丛林作业，例如砍伐、劈砍、劈砍以及大多数其他任务。但同时，它也足够小，可以塞进你的背包或贝根里，甚至可以系在外侧，方便取用，或系在你的腰带上，而不会造成太大的重量问题。对于任何进入野外的人来说，这是一个必备品。

Enjoy!! 好好享受吧！
