Kris swords are believed to have originated in the 13th century on the island of Java in the Indonesian archipelago, and migrated to the Philippines, Malaysia, and various Southeast Asian countries. The kris sword is very distinct in appearance with various shapes and sizes. The blade may either be straight or wavy or a combination. The kris blade widens near the handle with sharp pointed protrusions, which act as a guard against an opponent. Typically, Filipino kris swords are larger and heavier than their Indonesian counterpart. When used in combat the kris sword is primarily a slashing weapon but has dynamic thrusting power. Hanwei's kris swords are handmade in the Philippines in various shapes and sizes and are constructed with L6 high carbon blades. The kris sword is an integral part of Filipino culture, history, and tradition.
