PHURBA THE DAGGER TO DEFEAT DEMONS:
A phurba, also called "vajra phurba" or "kīla" in Sanskrit, is a ritual object used in some practices of Tibetan Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism. It is in the form of a three-sided knife

The phurba symbolizes the destruction of negative forces and internal and external obstacles. It is used in rituals of protection, exorcism, purification and healing. The knife is often planted in the ground or in an object representing negative forces, thus symbolizing the victory of wisdom and compassion over ignorance and confusion.

The Phurba was introduced into Tibetan Buddhism by Phadmasambhava and is a symbol of transmutation of negative forces. Used in rituals to drive away unwanted spirits, the Phurba acts spiritually to immobilize demonic spirits and sometimes kill them in the hope that they will reincarnate in better places. Each component of the Phurba has its own meaning.
