Knife
This prestige blade is called muder, which means ‘the scorpion’. It was not intended as a weapon and was never thrown as it is large and too heavy. The blade contains highly stylised motifs, which connects the owner (men) to nature. As part of their attire, this item is still being used by men as a fashion accessory.
