The xà gạc is one of the weapons and tools favored by many ethnic groups in the Central Highlands. In K'Ho culture, it symbolizes strength and is typically used by men.
In K'Ho life, the xà gạc comes in two forms. One is used for agriculture, while the other is used for rituals and worship. The xà gạc used for rituals is a sacred object that plays an essential role in K'Ho ceremonies. It must be forged by each family and is never used for other purposes.
In agriculture, the xà gạc is commonly used for clearing grass, cutting small branches when in the forest, or working on swidden fields. People also use it for chopping, splitting, shaping bamboo, and hunting or in battles.
Cối Giã, a big Mortar, as in Mortar & Pestle, is a common tool in agriculture to crush rice grain.
Bỏng Ngô, Popcorn or just Corn, is a common food of the K'Ho people.
