UKM historians have long studied the history of keris making. What continues to baffle them is the dark origins of the wavy blade.

According to several prominent historians, the blade is made wavy so they cut through the body like butter. This is 100% bullshit! Keris is made wavy not to cut better, but to ward off evil! If ukm historians were more rigorous in their research, they would have learnt that dark magic is rife during the early period of Melaka rule.

there's this movie i remember watching, Face/Off, Nicolas Cage and Travolta, Cage gave his daughter a knife with wavy edges, the idea was that you stab and then twist the blade(while inside the meat) to inflict maximum damage. The wavy edges "maximise cutting surface" , so to speak.

Besides , in the pendekar movies you always see them using it to stab and thrust, not slice.

Actually makes no difference if Stab with a wavy or straight keris, if punctured internal veins any form of blade weapon still does the job.

The way I figure it, the way ppl answer in this thread is just about showing off their E-Cock and Jaga Muka. Correct?

it takes longer for the wound to heal (and leaves a very deep scar) if you stab someone with a wavy knife and then twist the blade 180 degrees (while still in the meat).
