American singer-songwriter and actor, ___ Kristofferson (4)

I believe the answer is:

kris

(Other definitions for kris that I've seen before include "Malaysian knife with a scalloped edge" , "Indonesian dagger; sounds like fold" , "Malay dagger - for Kristofferson?" , "-- Kringle, Santa Claus" , "Wavy-edged dagger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
