1
Apply machine/gun oil on the blade at least once a month or/and every time after use. Make sure not to leave any fingerprint on the blade. 每月一次或者每次使用后，都需要在刀身抹上木仓枪油或者润滑油。不要将任何指纹留在刀身上。
2
Incase rust develops on the blade, first clean the blade with some petrol/gasoline then rub the rust off with fine sandpaper; wipe it off with a clean cloth and apply oil. A wheel-shiner machine may be used to re-shine the rust infected area. 如果刀身生锈，先用汽油、机油等清洗刀身，然后用细砂纸打磨掉锈迹，用干净的布擦干后上油。可以用羊毛轮重新抛光生锈区域。
3
Use shoe polish for the leather case, furniture shiner for the wood, Brasso (brass polish) for the brass fittings and Silvo (silver polish) for silver cases once in a while to keep your khukuri fit and fine.
定期的，用鞋油保养皮质刀鞘，用家具光亮剂保养木质刀鞘，用擦铜布保养铜质护手，用擦银布保养银质部件，这样能够保证你的库克瑞一直适合刀鞘。
4
Scrub the carved (Dragon) blade with a hard brush (tooth brush) soaked in petrol and wipe it with a clean cloth before display.
用沾有汽油的硬刷子（牙刷）来对付刀身上有雕刻图案的弯刀，完事之后净布擦干摆放。
5
Both sides of the blunt chakmak can sharpen the blade. However, a sharpening stone is recommended for better and faster result.
Chakmak（随弯刀所附的两把小刀中用来磨刀的那把，钝的）两面都可以用来磨刃，当然，一块磨刀石能干的更快、更好。
6
While on display, make sure to often clean the dirt particles, etc on the khukuri surface with a soft dry cloth and always keep away from water.
展示摆放的时候要注意多用柔软的干布擦掉灰尘啥的，而且一定要远离水。
7
Before khukuri is put out of action for a long period of time; oil the blade properly, wrapped it in a plastic or polythene bag and keep it out of the scabbard. Same for the two small knives.
如果库克瑞长时间不使用的话，给刀身上满油，用块塑料布或者塑料袋包好，不要入鞘。两把小刀同样处理。
8
Always store/keep khukuri in a dry normal temp room.
尽量保管于干燥常温的室内。
Caution
注意事项
1 Care should be taken not to expose the khukuri scabbard into the sun for a longer period of time as heating may help it to shrink a bit, and hence making the blade difficult to insert.
小心不要将刀鞘在太阳下暴晒太久，因为高温可能使刀鞘收缩导致刀身难以进入。（女人相反，不要用的太久，小心变得松弛了） 2
Using the blade on metallic surface and stone etc. should be avoided.
不要用刀来砍铁。（废话） 3 Keep away from water and fingerprint.
不要沾水，不要沾指纹。（娇嫩）
4
Khukuri is not a throwing knife so must never be thrown.
不要当飞刀用。（废话，那么沉那么贵的刀，扔起来不费力啊？）
5
It is also not a hammering tool.
不要当锤子用。（废话）
6
Over working on the bevel or sharp edge area while maintaining or repairing should be avoided as heat generated from it can spoil/loosen the temper of the blade
修复或打磨刀刃的时候应当注意，过高的温度可能导致回火，毁掉刀刃。 7
Guidance and supervision is essential before use and must always be kept out of reach of children.
使用前应当有监督和指导，放在你家孩子（当然也包括别人家的）够不着的地方。 8
Always maintain your khukuri in a timely manner so that its life can be prolonged.
定期保养你的库克瑞有助于延长寿命。
9 Using khukuri in extreme conditions should also be avoided.
不要在极端环境中使用弯刀。
How to unsheathe your Kukri? 如何拔刀
Do not encircle the scabbard with your fingers while drawing out your khukuri. This may cause injury as the two wooden frames used to make the scabbard leave a small elongated gap that only gets wrapped/covered by leather. Therefore hold the upper edge of the scabbard firmly with your palm and fingers but making no finger is placed on the front edge; thumb stretch out over the back edge then draw the weapon out slowly. It works better if the blade’s back edge (spine) somewhat touches the inner back edge of the scabbard while drawing out (same while inserting in). Always make sure to keep the khukuri away from body, scabbard holding-hand stretch out, khukuri’s sharp edge facing opposite to your body and slightly downward/angular while taking out for easy execution.
不要在拔刀的时候用手指整个的握住刀鞘。由 于两块木头之间的缝隙可能只有皮革覆盖，这样拔刀可能会伤到自己。用手指和手掌牢牢握住刀鞘的上部边缘，保证没有手指头在刀刃前方，大拇指按住刀背然后慢 慢将刀抽出。如果刀背略微贴着刀削的背部拔出会更好，插入亦然。尽量保证弯刀远离身体，刀刃不要面向身体的方向，并且在拔刀时做个角度方便使用。
Too Tight or Too Loose
太紧了太松了（这个问题用在女人身上同样值得探讨）
The buffalo hide used for the khukuri scabbard is sensitive to some extent to the outer weather and conditions. It can shrink a bit in hot temperature where as expand a bit in cold temperature thus treatment is needed as necessary.
水牛皮刀鞘对于外界环境有点敏感。热了会收缩冷了会松弛（幸好女人的不是这样），所以需要保养
“Too Tight”; because of too hot surrounding temperature, leather can shrink giving extra pressure to the inner wooden frame of the scabbard resulting into narrowing the blade’s room and thus making drawing in and out difficult. In a case like this, oil the blade sufficiently and then completely tuck in the blade forcefully if needed. Hit the front edge of the scabbard close to the throat and the back edge several times with one hand while the other holds the khukuri handle firmly. Then draw the blade in and out a few times and repeat the hitting action. Lastly tuck in the khukuri completely and firmly push the blade forward against the front edge of the scabbard and then store in a cool dry place for few days.
“Too Loose”; very cold temperature can extend the leather, widen the blade’s room and thus make it loose (this is very rare though). To avoid this, put the khukuri scabbard (only) in the sun for few hours (2-4hrs) to dry. The sun will heat the leather and thus contracts narrowing the khukuri room. Khukuri blade can also be prevented from wobbling inside the scabbard by pushing the blade forward towards the front edge of the scabbard. It is also recommended to glue a piece of leather from inside on the upper surface of the wooden frame as a washer to tighten the blade in the scabbard. In loose cases, always make sure to keep the blade and scabbard separately when storing.
What are Kadra & Chakmak?
什么是卡德拉Kadra和查马克 Chakmak？
Most kukris come with two small knives at the back of the scabbard to make the set complete. The small knife with sharp edge is called "kadra" or an extra knife especially used for skinning purposes or as paper knife. Another knife accompanying kardra is the "chakmak" or the sharpener. The traditional method of sharpening a kukri is done by using the chakmak against the edge of the blade to and fro. However, a sharpening stone is recommended. Traditionally, chakmak was also used to ignite fire by generating sparks by striking against selective stones found in the hilly regions. Khukuri Knives issued to the Gurkhas during world wars did not have the two small knives however standard issue khukuris at present have both "Karda and Chakmak". Most khukuris from the ancient times also had the two knives along with an extra pocket (Khalti) to store small survival kits.
