About Patu:

The word patu in the Māori language means to strike, hit, beat, kill or subdue. 

Originally a Maori weapon known for its swift and powerful strikes, the Patu represents strength and protection. When given as a 21st key or koha (gift), it takes on a new meaning, symbolizing not only the passage into adulthood but also the enduring legacy of Maori culture.
