Rampuri - Kadakedar

The image displays an ornate knife with a distinctly curved blade and a decorative handle. The handle is embellished with circular metal motifs featuring a combination of red and blue designs on a golden background, giving it a rich, detailed appearance. The blade itself, while showing signs of wear and tarnishing, reflects a sharp, polished edge typical of a well-crafted weapon or tool, possibly used for ceremonial purposes or as a collectible due to its elaborate design and craftsmanship. This particular knife is lying on a white surface with slight markings, emphasizing its striking form against a plain backdrop.
