The Rakau Combo, derived from the Maori word: Rākau Māori which means Māori weaponry. The Rakau Combo represents strength and swiftness in hand to hand combat. It was common for toa (warriors) to take a long handled weapon such as a taiaha (long-handled fighting staff) and a short weapon such as a patu (club) that were made of whale bone into battle.
The Rakau Combo is made of recycled buffalo bone and was designed to incorporate the taiaha and patu into a necklace that would bring strength and swiftness to the Maori in hand to hand combat. The Maori bone carving is attached using a durable cord that is a adjustable braided hemp line, that comes with solid adjustment beads to fit almost any size. Wear it close to your neck as a choker or longer as a pendant/necklace.
