Cold Steel Kris Dagger 18.25in Overall 12.75in Satin 1055HC Steel Kriss Blade Wire Wrapped Sal Hardwood Handle 18.3oz. There is a wide assortment of Kris swords styles to choose from as each island region clan or school has its own favorite with some putting more emphasis on cutting while others favor styles more conducive for thrusting. The Cold Steel Kris series which includes a sword and dagger is something they hope all practitioners of Filipino martial arts and sword aficionados will approve of and want to add to their collection. The blades are made from 1055 carbon steel with a hard spring temper. They are satin polished and come fully sharpened. In profile their Kris blades feature a moderately undulating blade shape with three concave curves and a long descending spear point found on almost all Kris swords. This blade shape strikes a good balance between cutting power and thrusting ability and the sharp sturdy points cut well at extreme range but are acute enough to pierce efficiently. The base of the blades terminate in traditional decorated ''file cut'' flanges with the shorter protecting the finger and the longer protecting the thumb wrist and lower forearm. The classic handles emphasize strength and durability over fashion. Hand carved out of exotic Sal hardwood theyre wrapped with wire and embellished with a brass bolster. Every Kris comes with an equally sturdy and practical scabbard ready to be displayed on your wall or secured through your belt ready for action.
