Description from the seller

Phurba with Dorje in the middle, a ritual knife used to cut through obstacles and negative energies
This is an old Tibetan Kila Dorje Phurba with Vajra, a three-sided ritual dagger from Tibet, based on an earlier Vedic instrument. The dagger has Mahakala on top.
The symbolism of the Buddhist knife is the destruction of enemies or obstacles. The lower part of the blade represents "Method". The handle represents "Wisdom".

Handmade old collectible piece
The ritual knife (Sanskrit: kila; Tibetan: phurba) is essential for driving away evil and is seen as particularly useful in neutralizing the forces that obstruct the practice of tantric Buddhism

Carefully packed and insured shipped.
