The Kalis is the larger Filipino iteration of the well-known East Asian Kris dagger. It's designed like a sword, making it ideal for hacking and slashing, yet it retains unique features of the Kris, like the wavy blade thought to improve its slashing capacity. But it's not just a weapon — the Kalis is often used in a variety of ceremonies. It is also a symbol of rank, masculinity, and authority.
