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.
