Blakas or Belakas is a general name for any sort of cleaver or large knife originating from Bali, Indonesia that has a heavy rectangular blade with a straight cutting edge used for chopping. The long, rounded hilt often becomes thinner at one or both ends. The blade often has a fanciful shape and encrusted motifs. Sometimes it is made for ceremonial purposes, and also used in pairs with golok. It is a common utensil in Balinese households and is used for kitchen chores, orchard work, and in ceremonial activities.
