A beautifully crafted antique Kris dagger.  The Kris is
A beautifully crafted antique Kris dagger. The Kris is an asymmetrical dagger with distinctive blade-patterning achieved through alternating laminations of iron and nickel iron. While most strongly associated with the culture of Indonesia the Kris is also indigenous to Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, Singapore and the southern Philippines where it is known as kalis with variants existing as a sword rather than a dagger. The Kris is famous for its distinctive wavy blade. SIZE: see attached ruler photo.
