The Kris now has five functions: tradition, social function, art, philosophy, and mystical. Physically, the Kris is in the form of a dagger with a blade 15 cm to 50 cm. Long, sharp on both edges and at the point, broader and asymmetric in shape near the hilt, it is made of a combination of several kinds of metal.
