军团科西莫拉荣耀 – Regimental Army Kothimora (Honor)

Another important, praised and treasured khukuri of a Gurkha that holds a special place in his heart and mind. A khukuri that would remind him of his deeds, services, loyalty, knowledge, comradeship, bond, emotion and above all the legacy that his forefathers upheld with pride, dignity, courage and honor, and with life. The Gurkha Army custom of giving the Kothimora to a retiring officer has come a long way since the early 19th century and still lives on to honor and to recognize the officer’s 100% of all as a soldier and as a worthy man. With the Service No.1 (Current Issue) and Service Ceremonial (Dress Knife) going to a new recruit, the same recruit now an officer, will get a “Regimental Kothimora” when he retires. His long service, active duty, loyalty and recognition will earn him a Regimental Kothimora from his regiment/company. This exclusive Kothimora mostly stays with him throughout his life.
廓尔喀弯刀，一把重要的、赞扬的和珍藏的廓尔喀弯刀，它在他心中占据着特殊的位置。这把弯刀会提醒他他的功绩、服务、忠诚、知识、战友关系、纽带、情感，最重要的是他祖先以自豪、尊严、勇气和荣誉以及生命所维护的遗产。廓尔喀陆军自 19 世纪初以来一直沿袭着将廓尔喀刀授予退役军官的习俗，至今仍在继续，以纪念和表彰军官作为一名士兵和一名有价值的人做出的所有贡献。随着现役军官和服役礼仪军官（礼服刀）的任命，同一新兵现在已成为一名军官，他将在退休时获得“团级廓尔喀刀”。 他长期的服务、积极的服役、忠诚和荣誉将为他赢得他所在的团/连颁发的团级寇提莫拉。这个特殊的寇提莫拉将伴随他一生的大部分时间。

This innovative and exclusive “Regimental Kothimora” khukuri made by KHHI is for this very occasion and for the very man himself. Made from pure silver filigree and molded skillfully embracing a Gurkha’s background and his tradition, this khukuri truly honors the man and shines in the occasion.
这款由 KHHI 精心打造的创新型“Regimental Kothimora” khukuri，完全由纯银花丝制成，巧妙地融合了廓尔喀人的背景和他的传统，是为此次特殊活动和本人量身定制的。这把 khukuri 真正地体现了这个男人，并在活动中闪耀光芒。

On the scabbard near by the throat, his “Regimental cap badge” mounted (gold plated), for which he gave most of his adulthood and at the sometime accomplished so much. The central carving/molding section defines him, his root, his culture and his background. “Hills and mountains” at top with sun rising up, is where he lives – “Laligunras” or “Rhododendron” which he grew up seeing and playing – His small “Hay thatched mud-made home” where his heart always is – His “Halo” or “oxen-drawn plough” by which he makes a living and looks after his family – a set of “Two Nepalese crossed flags” refers to his unconditional and great love for his country and countrymen – Last but most important, his principle and also the famous Gurkha proverb, “Kaphar hunu bhanda marnu nai jaati” or “Better to die than to be a coward” in English, that he lives and dies by it; courage over cowardliness and death over shameful life. The bottom front tip (chape) section exhibits a typical “Gurkha” in uniform with his famous and signature Gurkha Hat. This figure is decorated by flowers and leaves and overlaid by circular carvings in boundary, to pay tribute and respect to the honorary man.
在刀鞘靠近喉咙的地方，安装了他镀金的“团徽”。他为此付出了大部分成年时期，并在此期间取得了如此多的成就。中心雕刻/模制部分定义了他，他的根源，他的文化和他的背景。 “山顶日出”是他的家园，他从小就在那里看到并玩耍着“杜鹃花”。他的“茅草泥屋”是他的心灵归宿，他的“犁”是他谋生和照顾家人的工具。两面交叉的“尼泊尔国旗”代表着他对祖国和人民的无条件的爱。最后但最重要的是，他坚守的原则和著名的廓尔喀谚语“宁死不屈”。他的一生都被这句话所指引，他的人生信条是勇气胜于懦弱，死亡胜于可耻的生活。底部前尖（裤脚）部分展示了一个身着制服的典型“廓尔喀人”，头戴他标志性的廓尔喀帽子。 这幅人物像装饰着鲜花和树叶，并在边界上覆盖着圆形雕刻，表达了对这位荣誉人士的敬意和尊重。

Right behind the Gurkha figure is a “Khukuri” displayed over paddy plant, the signifier of a Gurkha (the Gurkha Knife), and his livelihood. The khukuri, synonyms of a Gurkha with which he created history and upheld the extraordinary Gurkha legacy. It is a traditional domestic and a fierce weapon at the same time in a hand of a Gurkha. A Gurkha without a khukuri is unimaginable and incomplete. Thus a “khukuri” is exhibited in the Regimental Kothimora, without it it would not have been concluded. Attractive traditional carvings are also imprinted all over the scabbard to beautify and adorn the whole look. A silver chain is also fixed in the front edge of the scabbard to further enhance the beauty that also gives an attractive look when put on stand for display. All the silver work is laid out over a special smooth velvet background that varies according to the regiment’s regimental color.
在廓尔喀士兵雕像的后面，一把“廓尔喀弯刀”被展示在水稻植物上，这是廓尔喀士兵的标志性武器，也是他们的生计来源。廓尔喀弯刀是廓尔喀士兵的代名词，他们用它创造了历史，维护了非凡的廓尔喀传统。它既是廓尔喀士兵手中的传统家用工具，又是凶猛的武器。没有廓尔喀弯刀的廓尔喀士兵是不可想象和不完整的。因此，在团旗纪念馆中展出了一把“廓尔喀弯刀”，没有它，纪念馆就不完整了。刀鞘上还雕刻着精美的传统图案，美化和装饰了整个外观。刀鞘的前缘还固定了一条银链，进一步提升了美感，在放置展出时也显得格外美观。 所有银器都被放置在特殊的平滑天鹅绒背景上，该天鹅绒背景的颜色根据团的军旗颜色而有所不同。

Regimental Kothimora comes with a standard kukri knife made from high quality materials and made by skilled Kamis. It has highly polished fixtures made brilliantly to suit the scabbard and to support the amazing Gurkha legacy and glory.
