A kalis (Baybayin: ᜃᜎᜒᜐ᜔; Jawi script: كاليس ;Abecedario: cális) is a type of Philippine sword derived from the wider Southeast Asian, originally Javanese keris, better known as kris. It differs in that the Philippine kris or kalis tends to be a sword, not a dagger, and thus often called a "kris sword".
