Mere or Patu were originally used by Māori in hand-to-hand combat. They were also utilized as an everyday tool for cutting and striking objects. These sacred ancent Māori Taonga are symbols of mana (authority), status, cultural identity, and important relationships.
In most cases, our Patu/Mere are purchased to be gifted as birthday gifts, leaving/welcoming gifts, celebrations, and corporate events.
