In addition to the land of Serambi Mekkah, Aceh is also known as the land of rencong. This is all because there are typical Aceh weapons that become symbols and symbols of Aceh. Rencong is used by the fighters of Aceh in the fight against foreign colonization first, not only fighters who wear rencong but also kings and nobles in Aceh. Rencong tucked at the front of the waist as the meaning of ready to fight until the final blood. Unlike the keris used in Javanese custom, the keris is tucked at the backside and seems to be hidden. Now rencong is no longer commonly used by Acehnese aristocrats or regional heads in Aceh, only rencong is used symbol of Acehnese custom and culture of Aceh at the ceremony of marriage custom which is used by the groom or to be souvenirs in handicraft shops.
