Kharèn

A kharèn (pronounced kɑrɛn) is a traditional Delvaruudian knife used for dark rituals and in herbalism.

A kharèn is very similar in use to an athame. The tip of the blade curves upward slightly, not unlike a sabre. They are traditionally made from deep steel and said to not hold the same magical power if one is made from another metal. Like the athame, the Kharèn also symbolises an element, the element of Air in this case, as they are “sharp enough to cut through [it]”
