The image shows a knife with the title "Knife (Pisau Raut)" by an artist not specified. The knife has a curved blade made of gray metal, likely steel, with a slight curve and a pointed tip. The blade is approximately 10 times longer than it is wide. The handle is made of dark brown wood, possibly rattan or bamboo, with a light brown decorative element in the middle and a lighter brown cap at the top and bottom. The handle is shaped like a narrow cylinder with a slight curve where it meets the blade. The background is a plain light gray color.
