Rembau terkenal dengan Golok Rembau atau Keris Rembau
sebelum zaman kesultanan Melaka lagi. Satu sejarah yang tidak pernah
diketengahkan atau dikaji oleh mana-mana pihak. Keris Rembau yang hebat ini
menggunakan teknologi nano seumpama pembuatan “Damascus steel” seperti pedang
Sultan Salahuddin Al Ayubi , sejenis besi yang begitu kuat tetapi boleh
dilentur seperti plastik, mampu memotong besi lain dan mampu membelah kain
sutera dan bulu pelepah burung.
Sesiapa yang ada bahan berkaitan teknologi pembuatan Keris
Rembau atau Pisau Rembau atau Golok Rembau yang tidak pernah dikaji ini harap
maklumkan kepada saya.

“I have seen some beautiful specimens of this weapon in
Rumbowe (Rembau), worn by the chiefs of that state. The blades resembled that
of a long, keen poniard of Damascus steel; the handles of ebony, covered with
flowered gold, and sheaths richly ornamented with the same metal; they are used
in the execution of criminals.

The arms manufactured by the Bugis are in great repute among
the Malays ; also those made at Menangkabowe, particularly the matchlocks and
swords ; and those of Rumbowe in the Peninsula. Rumbowe is celebrated for a
particular sort of kris, called " Guloh Rumbowe." The Malays of
Malacca ascribe the introduc tion of the kris to the celebrated Hong Tuah, who
flourished in the reign of Mansur Shah, Sultan of " At Menancabo excellent poniards made,
called creeses ; best weapons of all the Orient." (Argensola, 1609.)
Damascus steel was a type of steel used in Middle Eastern
swordmaking. Damascus steel was created from wootz steel, a steel developed in
India around 300 BC. These swords are
characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of
flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be tough, resistant to shattering
and capable of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge.
