Kris is a classic Malay knife with a "wavy" blade originating from the island of Java. It is considered one of the ancient weapons of Southeast Asia, and its popularity spread quickly across the entire archipelago. It is known in several versions, as each island in the archipelago had a unique design for the blade, sheath, and handle throughout history. It is a unique form of dagger widely used not only in Malaysia but also in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Brunei.
The Kris is allegedly endowed with magical power, and many view it as a talisman for good luck. It is believed to bring luck to its owner.
The Kris is originally a sword that was among the famous weapons of the Filipino martial art eskrima. Warriors of the Samal and Yakan clans used it to inflict maximum damage. Even today, the kris is used in training and professional combat.
