Here is my 3rd Kriss knife in my collection. I actually found and bought this one from a Steemit post. Custom made with nice Damascus steel blade. The Kriss blade was considered to have both spiritual, magical significance as well as defensive uses. It was often used in short sword configurations as well as daggers.
Here's a close up of the blade steel. Funny, even though this one has the best steel, it has the worst edge. I think the guy that made it put more of a larger angle edge on it. More like an axe angle lol. I haven't this one out in a while, and haven't tried sharpening it on the new belt sharpener I got for Xmas last year. Sounds like a good test project for the sharpener to re-angle a lower edge that will sharpen better.
The Handle is just wood, but I liked the two tone brown. I kind of wish it had just kept the brown tones, not really a fan of the green. If it weren't for the nice Kriss blade that would have turned me off. Also, the pin in the bottom green part a little dinged up. This one I may re-do the handle at some point.
It's a decent size for a pointy stabby thing, and could certainly be damaging for self-defense.
