   The kris or keris is a prized asymmetrical dagger most strongly associated with the culture of Indonesia, but also indigenous to Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei and Singapore. It is known as kalis in the southern Philippines. The kris is famous for its distinctive wavy blade, although many have straight blades as well. A kris can be divided into three parts: bilah, hulu, and warangka. These parts of the kris are objects of art, often carved in meticulous detail and made from various materials; metal, precious or rare types of wood, or gold or ivory. A kris's aesthetic value covers the dhapur, the pamor, and tangguh referring to the age and origin of a kris. Depending on the quality and historical value of the kris, it can fetch thousands of dollars or even more. Both a weapon and spiritual object, kris are often considered to have an essence or presence, considered to possess magical powers, with some blades possessing good luck and others possessing bad. Kris are used for display, as talismans with magical powers, weapons, a sanctified heirloom, auxiliary equipment for court soldiers, an accessory for ceremonial dress, an indicator of social status, a symbol of heroism, etc. Legendary kris that possess supernatural power and extraordinary ability were mentioned in traditional folktales, such as those of Mpu Gandring, Taming Sari, and Setan Kober.

Examples of KRIS in a Sentence

1. Dixie Hall:

   I think a song is just a song, they can do The Associated Press with all kinds of different bands. The Associated Press’s just The Associated Press and a melody. I was talking to Kris Kristofferson one time. They asked Kris Kristofferson what was country, and Kris Kristofferson said, ‘ If it sounds country, it’s country. ’ So that’s my philosophy.

2. Kris Jenner:

   Kim leads the pack. She's the queen of the thick skin. In June Kim was mommy-shamed for a picture of her son, Saint West, in a facing forward car seat, which could put a child at risk. But she got far more scrutiny during her traumatic 2016 robbery in Paris. Kris Jenner offered insight as to why they decided to share Kardashian-West’s Paris robbery on the long running reality series. So many people felt like they deserved the explanation of what happened because they had for the last decade followed every moment of her life and so then she felt like it would almost be a relief to be able to say it on her terms and explain what happened.

3. Brian Kolfage:

   The feedback has been positive, one of our board members, Kris Kobach, who was up for Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kris Kobach's on our team now and Kris Kobach's been speaking with the President Kris Kobach directly. The President supports what we're doing. The President approves what we're doing.

4. Andy Cohen:

   So, but it was a bit, kind of intimidating when I sat down with them because they were so not used to this, and I think that Kris very consciously didn't want it to have the rancor that some' Housewives' reunions have, or the, you know, level of acrimony.

5. Jonathan Martin:

   They think that Kris Kobach could actually still be beatable on Tuesday, but they're worried that Trump's itchy Twitter finger could play a role during the course of President Donald Trump long unsupervised golf weekend in New Jersey, and there's some thought that if Kris Kobach does do that tweet, that puts Kobach over the top, and it's going to have to make them spend a lot of money in Kansas this year, in an otherwise red state.
