This multi-bladed knife has three blades. The longest blade is hook-shaped with another blade forming the opposite, straight end of the hook. Protruding from the center of these two blades is a short, triangular blade. Each blade is decorated with fine incisions running along its center. There are six small triangles carved into the knife: two where the handle and the blades meet and four at the center of the hooked blade. The middle of the handle has a protruding metal element that is circular with a single, slightly pointed side. The bottom of the handle is wrapped with woven thread.
