The image shows a dagger titled "Partisan" by an unknown artist. The dagger has a long, narrow blade with a pointed tip. The top half of the blade is white and smooth. The bottom half of the blade is gold-colored and patterned. There are two curved protrusions on either side of the blade, near the base. The handle is dark-colored and appears to be made of metal. A red cord or tassel is wrapped around the base of the handle. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
