Kris or Keris is a kind of Malay's weapon. It use for defense himself and family from invader to attack them. Normally in a Malays houses they will hanging the kris on the wall. In this position the kris will be functional use by anybody in the house at anytime when they need it.

Most of Malays have a few kris in their house. The name of kris always diffrent according their own functional. Like kris (as in a photo) the name is Keris Surabaya the name given because it made from Surabaya, Indonesia. It functional as a symbol the owner of the house. It meaning a wealth, though and kind person.

The handle of the kris made from wood ( like meranti, nyatoh and etc. local wood ) and the blade from iron . Whatever the kris was, it just a symbol of a Malays life and their kind of culture. But now days, kris just a one of the decoration in Malaysian houses even they Malays or what any kind of race.

    Bawa bersabor tuan..

    Orang kita Melayu dulu-dulu memang terkenal dengan ilmu pandai besinya ( tukang besi ) Tapi sekarang agak berkurangan. Jika keris dahulu dipicit menggunakan tangan, tetapi sekarang orang kita nak cabut keris pun dah tak tahu.

    Ha..ha.. kukuhkan perpaduan kita, itulah cara tusukan keris kita di zaman ini. Keris tetapi menjadi lambang ketuanan Melayu di buminya sendiri.
