Video, poison keris blade

For many, many years we have heard it repeated that the keris is not a particularly effective weapon.

I would suggest that used in the way and situation in which it is intended to be used, it is in fact an extremely effective weapon.

Comparison of a keris to a sword is pointless, as both have a different purpose.

A guitar string is a very effective weapon.

So is an AK47.

But both have different methods of application, and are used for different purposes.
