A “Kris” is a dagger with a distinctive serpentine or undulating blade.
It originated in Java, eventually spreading as far East as the Philippines,
where it was adopted and embraced by the local martial cultures there. Most
of these daggers featured intricate, pattern-welded blades and elaborately carved
handles and scabbards, serving as highly effective weapons as well as masculine
status symbols.
Cold Steel's Naga Kris,
named after Naga, the mythological snake, is their affordable, somewhat simplified
interpretation of the scarce and costly originals. Made from a single piece
of 1055 Carbon Steel, it sports a hollow ground blade, integral quillons, and
a comfortable Paracord handle. It comes fully sharpened complete with a heavy-duty,
black Cordura sheath.
