The Kali Gear Kris Dagger

In an effort to bring more specialized blades to the FMA community, Kali Gear has produced a Kris Dagger. The kris blade is best known from the people of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Southern Philippines, but Filipinos of the Visayas and Luzon have always created their own versions of the kris. This new blade for Kali Gear is designed from that standpoint and with those design aesthetics in mind.

Each blade is made from spring steel that is reconditioned an forged to a blank which is then shaped, hardened and sharpened. See the photo of the the blade blanks ready for assembly and finishing.

The octagonal handles are carved from kamagong with stainless steel fittings. The scabbards are a combination of wood and pigskin leather.

Pictured here are the stainless steel cross guard components awaiting assembly.

Modeled after antique blade designs, this new design is yet another fine blade we hope will serve you well in your practice of the Filipino Martial Arts. We expect these blades to be available in late March.
