术语“Panawal”的解释……请仔细查看照片

Panawal in strict khukuri term means full-flat tang (riveted) handle. The khukuri blade comes with a one-piece full flat tang in which two handle scales are secured by glue (epoxy) and then riveted to strengthen the whole fixture. “Dotted” used for the name of the khukuri refers to the points or “Khil” in Nepalese made by rivets in the handle. Here a unique distinct handle is crafted where the end of the blade (tang) in the handle section is flat, not narrow and pointed as in other knives. The tang thoroughly follows the shape of the handle and is also visible on both sides of the handle. It is further secured by steel cap and bolster from the two ends of the handle. The Panawal handle is especially designed for heavy stressful work; to endure and to last the harshest treatment. “Panawal Dotted” is the mother (source) of all various Panawal versions crafted by KHHI nepal and many other local companies.
廓尔喀弯刀术语中的 Panawal 手柄是指带有全平刀柄（铆接）的手柄。廓尔喀弯刀的刀片配有一个整体的全平刀柄，有两个用胶水（环氧树脂）固定，然后用铆钉加固的刀柄部件。“点状”这个名称指的是刀柄上的铆钉在尼泊尔语中被称为“Khil”或“点”。这里的手柄采用独特的结构，刀片末端（刀柄）是扁平的，而不是像其他刀具那样又细又尖。刀柄完全符合手柄的形状，并且在手柄的两侧都能看到。它还通过刀柄两端的钢制护手和加强片进一步固定。Panawal 手柄专为繁重的工作而设计, 能够承受最严苛的处理并保持持久耐用。 “点状 Panawal” 是由 KHHI 尼泊尔和许多其他当地公司制作的各种 Panawal 版本的母版（来源）。

the BLADE…
Panawal Dotted khukuri has a different and special blade forged to withstand the rough and tough treatment. A semi-fuller layer or hump that runs across the main (above) panel of the blade is forged to give more strength and durability to the width of the blade while in use and also to cut down unnecessary weight of the blade. The curvature gives support to the flat surface by evenly distributing the impact force generated when striking against a target. It is also a display of true craftsmanship as it is very hard to craft. Since a Panawal Dotted is a heavy version the cut down in the weight makes the khukuri easier to use. The knife’s balance is such that though heavier it is easier to work with. The thick full tang handle also gives good counter balance to the blade.
Panawal Dotted khukuri 采用独特且特殊的刀刃，经锻造处理，可承受粗暴的使用。刀刃主面板（上部面板）上的半凹槽层或凸起经过锻造，以提高刀刃宽度的强度和耐用性，同时减轻刀刃不必要的重量。弯曲的刀刃通过均匀分布打击目标时产生的冲击力来支撑平坦表面。它也是真正工艺的体现，因为它的制作非常困难。由于 Panawal Dotted 是一个重量级版本，因此减轻重量使 khukuri 更易于使用。这款刀的平衡性非常好，尽管更重，但更容易操作。厚实的全龙骨手柄也为刀刃提供了良好的平衡。

[IMP note on Sheath: the steel chape/tip is discarded and instead a lanyard loop is fitted in the tip. A string/cord can go through it to tie the sheath around thigh. This minimizes the wobbling even in full motion. This makes the knife more useful]
[IMP 刀鞘说明：去除钢制末端/尖端，在尖端安装挂绳环。穿过绳子/线， 将刀鞘绑在大腿上。即使剧烈运动也能最大限度地减少晃动， 更实用]

Reviving the Panawal handle: has an interesting story behind it.
重振 Panawal 手柄：背后有着一个引人入胜的故事。

Although the Panawal khukuri (with “Full Tang handle”) was brought into practice in history long ago and this sort was particularly used in the 2nd world war days by Gurkhas, this ‘handle’ was on the verge of extinction in the later years after mid 20th century. It is only after the establishment of Khukuri House (KH) now KHHI in 1991 TB BK, realized the importance of a hardcore working kukri and started the production of “Panawal” version for the very reason in large scale. It was therefore only from 1993 khukuri’s with Panawal Handles came back into limelight and stormed the khukuri market instantly. Soon it was so much in demand that people started making “Panawal” khukuri in various shapes, sizes and started adopting different styles and names using the same “Panawal-Handle” system.
虽然 Panawal khukuri（“全龙骨手柄”）是一种历史悠久的刀具，在第二次世界大战期间被廓尔喀人广泛使用，但这种“手柄”在 20 世纪中叶以后几乎销声匿迹。直到 1991 年廓尔喀之家（KH，现称 KHHI）的成立，TB BK 意识到硬核工作型廓尔喀的重要性，并开始大规模生产“Panawal”版本。因此，从 1993 年开始，带有 Panawal 手柄的廓尔喀重新成为人们关注的焦点，并迅速席卷了廓尔喀市场。很快，它就受到了如此热烈的追捧，以至于人们开始制造各种形状和尺寸的“Panawal”廓尔喀，并开始使用相同的“Panawal 手柄”系统采用不同的风格和名称。
