Phurpa cannot be properly classified, each dagger has its own individuality. One does not really resemble to other and even family likenesses meaning the recognizable origin from the same workshop can but rarely be ascertained. It is possible, with caution, describe generally the Phurpa.

There is still some sort of ideal type of a Phurpa. Describing it from the bottom, it has a three-edged blade, the length of which is often ornamented with meandering snakes. And the blade in turn sticks in the mouth of a "Makara". This is the Sanskrit word for crocodile, but what is meant here, however, is a mythical monster. Above the Makara head there is generally an “eternal knot”. This is a symbol of luck. The handle consists either of a stylized lotus blossom. After that there is three-faced head, often but not always baring his teeth in wrath. The upper end is occasionally shaped like a horse’s head reminding one of Tamdin, the horse god, or some other Buddhist symbol.
