It is called the Khanda.

Addition:

Allow me to correct you question: its Sikhism. thank you

There are three different weapons used in a Khanda, which also have a symbolic meaning:

  • A double-edged sword called a Khanda in the centre
  • A Chakkar which is a circular weapon
  • Two single-edged swords, or kirpans, are crossed at the bottom and sit on either side of the Khanda and Chakkar. They represent the dual nature/duties of the Gurus, Miri and Piri.

The Khanda represents knowledge of God, the Chakkar represents the eternal nature of God and oneness of humanity, the two swords represent Miri (political sovereignty) and Piri (spiritual sovereignty
