It’s interesting that they gave the dagger a specific name. A kris is a wavy bladed dagger from SouthEast Asia. Makes me wonder if we’ll get the history of the dagger at some point, and if it might somehow be tied up with Mulan’s sword, which can deflect magic. Two powerful blades, both from Asian cultures, surely that can’t be mere coincidence, right? I mean, they didn’t have to throw that word “kris” in there and thus officially make Rumple’s dagger of Asian origin, they could have just kept on calling it a dagger. I am suspicious.

Thanks, Phee and Rumplesgirl, for that info! How interesting there is an actual history to the kris dagger in SE Asia. We saw in 2×1 how Rumple was able to use his dagger to summon the wraith, which Mulan called the Qui Shen. Perhaps the two are more intimately connected than I previously realized. Will we see a backstory between Mulan and Rumple?
