The Vajra Chopper or kartika is a small, symbolic  crescent knife or ‘chopper’, used in ajrayana Buddhist ceremony. It symbolizes  the severance of all material and worldly bonds and is crowned with a vajra,  which is said to destroy ignorance, and leads to enlightenment. The kartika is a  key ritual implement in the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Chöd, or ‘cutting  through demons’. In Buddhist teachings, this tool is held in the right hand of  Yama, the conqueror of death.
