Fine Metal Kartika Ritual Knife – Tibetan Drigug Buddhist Tantric Altar Tool

This Fine Metal Kartika, also known as a Drigug, is a sacred ritual blade used in Tibetan Buddhism and Vajrayana tantric practice. Crescent-shaped and symbolic rather than practical, the Kartika represents the cutting away of ignorance, attachment, and ego. Traditionally associated with dakinis and wrathful deities, it is used on Buddhist altars and during advanced ritual work. Crafted in Nepal using traditional metalworking methods, this small Kartika carries deep spiritual significance despite its compact form, making it ideal for personal shrines, meditation spaces, or ritual display.
