the Classic Bhojpure Reproduced by KHHI; a piece with a history (18th century)
由KHHI复刻再现的经典 Bhojpure； 一首历史悠久的作品（18 世纪）

This ‘Classic Era Bhojpure’ is an exact reproduced version of the classy Bhojpure kukri that existed in the 18th century. We took one of the variants of Bhojpures of that time and reproduced it from head to toe as exactly as possible. It is a heavy chopper that has massive built-in weight designed to cut swiftly and effortlessly. The blade is good 17” long that gives out an excellent coverage to take down even a huge object. Moreover, its big bevel in the cutting edge gets the job done quicker and better. It has a beautifully shaped blade for look and function that is well supported by a cleverly crafted kukri handle. The typical wooden handle is ergonomic to a human hand and hence provides a very secured and comfortable grip. The sheath on the other hand is made from treated water buffalo hide. This complex black leather sheath makes the kukri as original as possible dating back to the era. 
这款「经典时代 Bhojpure」是 18 世纪经典 Bhojpure 弯刀的精准复制品。我们从那个时代的 Bhojpures 变体中选取了一款，并尽可能精确地从头到尾复制了它。它是一款重量级砍刀，内置了巨大的重量，旨在快速轻松地砍伐。刀片长 17 英寸，提供出色的覆盖范围，即使是巨大的物体也能砍倒。此外，其刀刃上的大斜角可以更快更好地完成工作。它有一个美观的设计，兼顾美观和功能，并配有一个巧妙制作的 kukri 手柄。典型的木质手柄符合人体工程学原理，因此提供了非常安全舒适的抓握感。 另一方面，刀鞘是用经过处理的水牛皮制成的。这种精密的黑色皮革刀鞘使廓尔喀弯刀尽可能地接近原始版本，可以追溯到那个时代。

Classic Bhojpure is a solid chopping machine for heavy duty works. The knife feels so right for the same and result is swift. The targets tumble like the house of card in front of the beholder and the holder just wants to keep going on and on…
经典的 Bhojpure 刀具是一款坚固耐用的切削机，适用于重型切割作业。它的刀刃手感非常好，切割效果快速而干脆。目标物在使用者面前就像纸牌屋一样轰然倒塌，使用者只想要继续不停地切割下去……

Brief history of the kukri..
廓尔喀弯刀的简介
In simple language, kukri knives made in Bhojpur village in East Nepal are called the Bhojpures. These kukris are forged broad, heavy and robust. This distinctive feature has always been the recognition of the kukri. Blacksmiths in these regions have been making such kukris for a very long time since ca 16th, 17th century. Bhojpur and its surrounding areas were part of “Maaj (middle) Kirat” of Kirat dynasty before the Nepal unification in 1773. Kirats were already making the kukris then which were heavily used against the Gorkhalis (Shah dynasty). It was their primary weapon. When Kirat dynasty fell it is when we believe the name, Bhojpur, surfaced.
>- 简单来说，尼泊尔东部 Bhojpur 村庄制造的廓尔喀弯刀被称为 Bhojpur 弯刀。这些弯刀锻造得宽大、沉重、坚固，是其显著特点，也是其一直以来被认可的原因。这些地区的铁匠从 16 世纪到 17 世纪就开始制作这种弯刀。尼泊尔统一前，Bhojpur 及周边地区属于基拉特王朝的“中间基拉特”。基拉特人那时已经制造了大量用于抵抗廓尔喀人 (沙阿王朝) 的弯刀，这是他们的主要武器。当基拉特王朝灭亡后，我们认为 Bhojpur 这个名字才出现。

There are 2 probable logics >>
存在两种可能的逻辑 >>
1. Due to the King Shah’s feast that was celebrated over his victory. “Bhoj” means feast and “Pur” means place
由于国王为庆祝他的胜利而举行的宴会，宴会的意思是“Bhoj”，地方的意思是“Pur”。
2. Due to the heavy presence of the tree called “Bhoj Patra” in the region. It gradually converted to Bhojpur in spoken language
由于该地区盛产一种名为“Bhoj Patra”的树木，在口语中逐渐演变成了 Bhojpur。

Bhojpur has always been rich in natural resources like iron-ore, minerals, raw materials and wood etc. This favorable condition highly contributed to the large production of the kukris. It also aided to selecting Bhojpur as one of the metal coin producer (famously known as Taksaar in Nepali) in around 1815 during the Shah reign. History also states that during king Mahendra Bikram Shah’s visit to the place in 1970 he highly praised the kukris. He publically announced Bhojpure kukris to be the best in Nepal and hence got very famous. 
博杰布尔地区一直拥有丰富的自然资源，如铁矿石、矿物、原材料和木材等。这些有利条件极大地促进了廓尔喀弯刀的大量生产。它也有助于在沙阿王朝时期（约 1815 年）将博杰布尔选为金属硬币生产商之一（尼泊尔语称为 Taksaar）。历史也表明，1970 年马亨德拉·比克拉姆·沙阿国王访问该地区时，高度赞扬了廓尔喀弯刀。他公开宣布博杰布尔廓尔喀弯刀是尼泊尔最好的，因此声名大噪。

Evolution ….  进化….
Over the decades along with time, need, circumstances and modernization Bhojpure kukris have evolved a lot. The very objective of the knife has also changed from being a prime weapon to a domestic tool. The size is drastically reduced to med-size range. The shape and features have also changed a bit however the robust and bulky shape has been retained. These modern Bhojpure kukris started to surfaced out sometime around 1960’s.

随着时代、需求、环境和现代化的发展，博杰普尔廓尔喀弯刀已经发生了很大的变化。刀具的初衷也从主要的武器转变为家用工具。尺寸大幅缩减至中等尺寸范围。形状和特征也发生了一些变化，但坚固厚重的形状得以保留。这些现代的博杰普尔廓尔喀弯刀大约在 1960 年前后开始出现。欢迎您通过此链接查看我们现代的博杰普尔村庄。
