Though this Patu is long it has a very impressive feel and weight due to the careful profile that it has been given. We captured a fantastic veining that runs the full length of this Patu. Fit for someone that is unique just like this Taonga.   (To add a personalized Wood Base with a three-word engraving, please add this to your cart by going to the Base section.

Mere or Patu were originally used by Māori in hand-to-hand combat. They were also utilized as a 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.
