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.

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.

Mr. Zedmagel, the most important keris is the origanal keris that owned by a group of people......(i forgot the name),although the keris looks ugly, but it very important to defence from our enemy.

BalasPadamBawa 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.
