Rencong

Aceh is also known as rencong land. This is entirely due to Aceh's unique weapons as symbols and symbols of Aceh. Rencong is used by some of the Aceh warriors against the former foreign colonization, not just fighters who use rencong but also kings and royals in Aceh. Rencong tucked on the side of the front as well as the meaning of ready to fight until the final blood. Unlike the kris used in the Javanese custom, the keris is inserted on the back side of the rim and is memorably hidden. Currently rencong will not be commonly used by Acehnese aristocrats or regional heads in Aceh, just rencong used the symbol of Aceh and Aceh culture habit at the wedding ceremony used by the groom or so souvenirs in handicraft shops. The history of Aceh does not record the exact origins of this deadly Acehnese rencong weapon, but there is a legend that tells us that once in Aceh there was a hawk-like bird, the Acehnese people called it "geureuda". This bird terrorizes people's lives and consumes whole plants, fruits and livestock also die because of it. Various traps have been used to catch this bird but not work also become more incentive to do terror acts.
