總結:Keris is known to everyone as the national weapon of Malay people. It has substantial claims to being the most sanguinary weapon in history. In Malaysia, nearly everyone has seen and handled keris at least the twenty-first century imitation for the tourist trade. The art of keris is not deniable since almost every single part of the weapon exhibits the high quality of art value. People are most likely look at this value of keris since it can be clearly observed. But, there is something that people normally do not know about the legendary weapon. In fact, Malaysians also do not aware about the technical properties of their symbol of pride. Therefore, there should be an effort to recognize the properties of keris in order to let people gain more knowledge and appreciate the weapon. This project is an initial effort of finding the technical properties of keris whilst the root and history are not left behind. In order to meet the requirements of the objectives for this project, a couple of testing is carried out All those testing are followed by detail discussion regarding the behaviours of the well-known weapon. Finally the conclusion is made up and it is so interesting to notice that all goals of the project are successfully accomplished.
