You are correct Keris is a side arm but also fuction as commant pole. Javanese soldier is famous throughout archipelago for their spear welding skill on the ground or on the horse back, keris only come out when you want to excecute honorable enemy in a duel. The step of duel usually goes like this, spear-golok(Indonesian sword)-keris. Fun fact The flower around our keris during wedding is actually to honor one of our javanese prince intestine which pull out during the duel and warp around his keris.
As indonesian, when I saw keris and what it was used other than its spirituality purpose I'm convinced that my ancestor are brutal. Like why y'all made a stab weapon that causing enough hole damage on flesh and decided to make the blade curved so its could mess enough guts when you drawn it out like c'mon.
@@rockingeforge Intesting, you managa to uncover a lot of Kris History. but there is 1 History that missed. there is Sword Kris to in Java. and it's story how it was created is also interesting. it's Called Pedang Naga Puspa . you can search in youtube, there is old movie in there with title PEREBUTAN PEDANG NAGA PUSPA | TUTUTINULAR 01 - JULI - 2018. it's still there and not deleted yet by youtube. and this type of Kris Sword is popular to, many collector buy this replica Pedang Naga Puspa and many also created their own version Pedang Naga Puspa
a kriss blade with all its complete component must had started by a civilization then spreaded out..couldnt be different civilization different place made the same thing including ITS DETAILS(gonjo, grenengan, kembang kacang etc) at the same time....terms etymology also could help a bit for that matter..if it just a curvy blade anyone just could happend made the same thing at the same time around the world....even katana shape is actually pretty basic...thats why japanese cant submit its originality to UNESCO....if it s only about different scabbard or handle..okay...still we have to appreciate people creation...or anybody in the world just can make their own style for anything without mentioning it root/inspiration then called it their own or completely created by themself, emerged from themself without outside influence..
The northern tribes Philippines mhytogoy saying that bathala (means the creator) that there's a birdman guardians with swords of fire has soul so they copy the swords of birds heads with tail and claws then the wavy is fire like has soul in it.....and called fire soul sword......it has a pilipino movie but has little different touch with it......
