Included in this mod are some of the more common weapons used in Silat.
The first and foremost weapon of Indonesian Culture is the Keris, or Kris. Known for its distinctive wavy blade and folded metal patterns, the Keris holds both cultural and spiritual signifigance. Forged with two kinds of metal and cooled in an acidic wash, the blade resembles Damascus Steel; mine doesn't because I'm still not there on textures, so I just used a sword texture from the game.
Next up is the Karambit, a curved short blade recognizable for its finger loop that allows it to be held upwards or downwards in the hand.
A Sabit, or Celurit, is a type of hatchet-like sickle from the Madurese. These were used to settle matters of honor. If you lived, you were obviously the more honorable one.
The Kujang is the West Javan version of a Keris, and is forged to resemble a deer antler.
Finally, there is the Rencong, a straight blade from Aceh in Central Java. Like the other daggers, it has the notable curved, or 'pistol-grip' hulu or hilt/handle. This allows a stabbing motion with less angle to the wrist, presumably a more natural motion.
All are craftable at the Chem Station under Pencak Silat.
