The bhuj (Devanāgarī: भुज) is a knife or dagger from western India. It is commonly called a gandasa or axe-knife because the blade is fixed onto an axe-like haft. The weapon takes its name from the city of Bhuj in the Kachchh district of the state of Gujarat where it originated. The Bhuj is short broad stout and heavy with a mild curve. It often sports an engraved and gilded mount inlaid haft and decorated knob.
