History, background and importance of World War Kukri used by British Indian Army (Gukhas-Gorkhas)
“廓尔喀”是一种在印度军队中使用的弯刀。它是廓尔喀士兵的传统武器，他们的勇敢和战斗技能闻名于世。廓尔喀弯刀被广泛用于各种兵工厂之中。

Since the formation of 1st Gurkha Military unit back in early 19th century many kukri knives have come into limelight and countless legendary tales attached to it. The World War version is one of the many used by Gurkhas towards the end of 2nd world war period. The documented sources do not really point to the fact that it was issued then but because of its more effective size, shape and weight Gurkhas were individually found widely using the kukri during the war torn days. Particularly it is learnt that Gurkhas used to bring this kukri from their villages when returning back from their official leave. When their official issue got lost, damaged or stolen then it was replaced by this privately purchased (acquired) model.
自 19 世纪早期第一支廓尔喀部队组建以来，许多廓尔喀弯刀已成为人们关注的焦点，许多关于它的传奇故事也随之而来。世界大战版本是二战后期廓尔喀人使用过的多种版本之一。尽管文献资料并未明确指出它在当时是制式装备，但由于其更有效的尺寸、形状和重量，廓尔喀人在战时被发现广泛使用这种廓尔喀弯刀。据悉，廓尔喀人习惯于休假返家时从家乡带回这种廓尔喀弯刀。当他们原本配备的武器丢失、损坏或被盗时，它就会被这种私人购买（获得）的款式所取代。

The historic and commendable relationship of Gurkhas and British has come a very long way that in fact began with horrific violence and intense battle only to turn into mutual understanding, friendship and brotherhood. Both parties were fascinated by the khukuri and when British decided to make it a part of standard gears of a Gorkha it swiftly earned a friendly and fearsome reputation and more so important became a very battle-cum-domestic utility knife. The same story goes with the World War; one of the many khukuris used by Gurkhas that famed them into glory and victory.
廓尔喀人和英国人之间悠久而值得称道的历史关系经历了漫长的发展历程，这段关系始于可怕的暴力和激烈的战斗，最终转变为相互理解、友谊和兄弟情谊。双方都被廓尔喀弯刀所吸引，当英国人决定将其作为廓尔喀人标准装备的一部分时，它迅速赢得了友好的和可怕的声誉，更重要的是，它成为了一把非常实用的战斗和家用刀具。同样的故事也发生在世界大战期间，廓尔喀人使用的众多廓尔喀弯刀之一，使他们获得了荣耀和胜利。

“World War (Historic)” kukri is a very common and famous khukuri in the local market of Nepal. It later appeared in early 1980’s when makers made this kukri believing it was issued and used by Gurkhas in World War days, and hence named so. The khukuri was such a success probably because of its appealing name, shape and size, it quickly stormed the khukuri market and within a year it was seen being made by all local and international makers. Ironically, KHHI’s deep study and research does not lead to the fact that it was actually issued and/or officially supplied. The shape, style, size and structure heavily vary than the original issued versions. This World War version was more like a preferred knife of the Gurkhas since they bought and brought on their own for service. Nevertheless it cannot be completely ruled out since the documented sources are very sketchy and imprecise itself. There are few old images from the world war era that show the kukri in action/service.
“二战（历史）” 廓尔喀弯刀是尼泊尔当地市场上非常普遍和著名的廓尔喀弯刀。它出现在 20 世纪 80 年代初，当时制造商认为廓尔喀士兵在二战期间使用并佩戴它，因此得名。这把廓尔喀弯刀之所以如此受欢迎，可能是因为它有吸引人的名称、形状和尺寸，很快席卷了廓尔喀弯刀市场，不到一年的时间里，所有当地和国际制造商都在生产它。具有讽刺意味的是，KHHI 的深入研究没有发现它实际上是官方配发和/或供应的。它的形状、风格、尺寸和结构与最初配发的版本有很大不同。这个二战版本更像是廓尔喀士兵的一种偏好刀具，因为他们是自己购买并带到部队中服役的。 虽然不能完全排除，但由于资料非常简略和不精确，所以无法确定。只有一张二战时期的旧照片显示廓尔喀弯刀实际的使用情况。

This 11 inch long kukri knife has a beautiful shape with no peak in the back edge. The belly is small and enlarges as it moves towards the head-point portion. The knife carries much of its weight at the front area but nonetheless the over-all weight is well balanced and effective. The blade is well polished and is fitted with a regular wooden handle. The rat tang of the blade goes through the handle and is peened over at the brass pommel cap at the base of the hilt. Brass metal is used to make the bolster and butt cap.
