A must for the Kriss Blade knife collector! These knives feature the traditional Philippine Kriss blade style that even predates the ancient BaliSong design. The Kriss blade, still very popular in many different schools of martial arts, was curved in such a way so as strike fear into the heart of the adversary and send him running in the opposite direction. To the enemy the curvy Kriss blade meant that any thrust type wound received in the course of battle would be extremely severe (even mortal) and non-closing so running was definitely a good choice! Each of these knives features a sharpened stainless steel blade, solid handles and a standard clasp lock.
