Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyse, develop and fabricate new tactical knife for military using long forgotten Keris technology. A tactical knife is a knife with one or more military (martial) features designed for use in extreme situation. In popular usage the terms "fighting knife" and "tactical knife" are frequently employed interchangeably, despite the fact that a tactical knife is principally designed to be used as a utility tool, not as a weapon. The kris or keris is a distinctive, asymmetrical dagger endemic to Malaysia and Indonesia. Both a weapon and spiritual object, keris are often considered to have an essence or presence, with some blades possessing good luck, while other possess bad. The early function of keris is as a weapon to defend oneself, to preserve one's life, and to function as a close range weapon. Preceding the development of culture and art, the shape of keris changed according to the need and its contribution to human's life, among others it could indicate the social status of the owner of the Keris. Keris also functions as the symbol of power. The blade is made from different iron ores and often contains nickel. Usually, keris is produce using forging process. For this research, the selection of the design of the tactical knife will be made based on studies of literature review. The product design was drawn by using Catia software. Then, the drawing was transferred to the Catia software for analysis. Then, the drawing was transferred to the CNC machine and the manufacturing process began. Before fabricate, all selected design will be compare based on the criteria. As the design produced, it will be used to produce the tactical knife using the equipment provided at the FTK lab. Then, conclusion of the overall project is made in order to find out whether the objectives are achieved. Finally, design and process guidelines and procedures to producing pattern are documented.
