Cold Steel Kris Dagger

The Cold Steel Kris series, which includes a sword and dagger, is something we 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, the Cold Steel 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 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, they're 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.
