"Kris" is a heritage weapon that has been used for centuries. Not only in Riau, keris is generally used by nobles in Southeast Asia. "Kris" is a symbol of honor and self-defense. This weapon is used to stab at close range. The position of the "kris" in history as a symbol of honor is undeniable, that in the kingdom it was clearly seen as a form of self-protection, as well as pride. Even in modern history, the function continues to develop as an object of history, and can also be a determinant of history based on the period of manufacture and the type of material used. Up to now in Riau Malay customs and culture, always cooperating with kris in every dress as a complementary weapon from generation to generation. However, what is different in the form of "kris" from adat in Java is, if the use of "kris" in Java is tucked in the back of the waist, in Riau and the Malay people, in general, the use of "kris" is in front.
