Introduction To The Tibetan Knife :
In Tibetan traditions, a Tibetan knife, also called a "phurba" or "kila," has cultural and symbolic meaning. The unique three-sided blade of this ceremonial dagger represents the victory over ignorance, desire, and aversion in Buddhism. Tibetan knives, which are adorned with elaborate carvings and frequently have a tripartite handle that represents different gods, are an essential part of religious rites, ceremonies, and spiritual practices. In addition to their spiritual significance, these knives might have practical uses in daily life, exhibiting in Tibetan communities a combination of deep cultural symbolism and usefulness.
