Malaysia Souvenir Letter Opener - Kris:

The keris is synonymous with the Malay culture and way of life. The double-edged dagger is unique because it is only found within the Malay Archipelago. The keris is a dagger unique to Southern Thailand (Patani), Malaysia, Indonesia, Southern Philippines (Mindanao), and supposedly in the Cham areas of Cambodia.

In its most basic definition, a keris is a double edged dagger. People with a vague idea of a keris envisage in their mind a wavy blade. But waves do not make a blade a keris. Almost all cultures around the world have swords. What makes the keris one of a kind are the details found at the base of the blade; details that exist in no other swords.

At its best, the keris represents the highest level of Malay creativity. A long time ago, it is used to complete the Malay attire. Walking around without the keris for a Malay men then was akin to walking around naked. Training in the use of the keris - both for combat and ceremony, was handed down from father to son.

The keris was particularly useful for fighting in confined spaces, such as inside a building or in the jungle, where longer weapons would be most cumbersome.

This can be the best gift for friends/relatives as letter opener, display, decorative, collectible, memorable items.
