The Malaysian Weapon Of Choice
 Paul's Keris Page - "The keris has always been considered as protective. In traditional Malay houses, a keris would be secured to the main roof beam to protect the house. Stories abound of keris flying out of their sheaths and attacking an enemy; of keris rattling in their sheaths at the approach of danger; of killing an enemy by just pointing at someone.
"There is a marvelous legend of a keris that could help people frosee the future. Hang Jebat, a legendary Malay hero, had a keris with holes in the sogogan that allowed him to see the immediate future when he peered through the holes. A keris with "combong" or holes in the sogogan is considered a very powerful keris today."
Kinda interesting site. I used to think the keris was a really odd choice for a main weapon.
