Depending on the vehicle that the leaf spring they used came from, it could be 5160 steel. With that being said though, the machetes they use don’t always have to have or keep a razor edge and they need to be easily resharpened, so they are a little less worried about it as long as it *can* be hardened. Gotta make use of what you can.
+handel1111 On the crude local style ones is no hamon visible. The nicely made ones that I sell show a bit of a hamon if they have a satin finish. Like in the video " special edition survival bolo " Marius
+MSL Bushcraft & Survival what island is that mate? I go over there semi regular to study Escrima....well I go to Cebu....would be interested know where you shot that footage.
anyone know how to make a power hammer? id do what they did but I'm lacking in the man power. I'm able to one-hand a sledge hammer but it just gets me tired, so yeah any suggestions?... anything?... please help...!
Is this facility iso 9000? Osha inspectors would literally urinate themselves if they were called to a place like this in the US, flip flops, no shirt no problems.. Restrictions just keep getting worse and worse here, but that's life..
@Urban Student Prepper Yes nothing could be better than made in the west but these people here are making their best to live and are happy for what they have. About you ,are you happy with what you have? I always see you're trolling about blacksmiths in the Philippines and if ever you were born here and poor you probably do the same as these hardworking Filipinos! You are lucky you were born in a country that is well developed and probably born with silver spoon! I'm a Filipino living here in Canada and when I see people like these I appreciate the life I have here because I am more well off than them.A lot of "cry babies" are found in western countries because they are not used to hardships in life.This is one thing I admired among my fellow Filipinos no matter what life's will at throw at them they are still happy and smiling.
Damn... they were using sledge hammers at the start! Normally it's only 2 guys on the hammers but 3 at once looks even more amazing!!!
amazing workmanship and team work !!!
Watching that guy shape the handle was amazing. No wasted effort there.
+bwhip
Yes in deed.
Those guys realy know how to get it done with the smallest effort possible...
Marius

That was bad to the bone! Awesome video Thanks for posting C YA
Any chance of buying one of their machetes?
very interesting Marius!

awesome vid, thanks! rgds, Robert
this is philippines, in the wall it's written in "bawal ang nakasimangot" means frowning is not allowed.
Similarly, I love my job, it's the work I hate 😄
Puerto princesa city...palermo's blacksmith
Look at the spark of the steel when they grind it, it's that the spark of tool steel or high carbon steel?

is it differential hardening when they temper blades ?
+handel1111
Yes, like a Japanese katana...
MSL Bushcraft & Survival is the temper line visible on the finished blades ?

hire filipino blacksmith...they are the best craftsmen.
If you can't use a sledge use a smaller hammer if you cant use that stick to stock removal
lol says no smoking in chalk on the wall behind the guy holding the hot steel, while he has a cig hanging off his lip.
i'm pretty sure you wouldn't tell him anything to his face
thats awesome ,he dont need gloves while grinding
Idk if anyone else hears the dogs being butchered in the background.
+Omar Tazz
The dog is not butcherd, but spends his life on a chain...
Kinatay na yun
I have watched bunch videos of these " primitive " craftsmen and they all use differential hardening in their heat treat .
No P***y hammer here, I mean power hammer. All muscle.
No eye protection or safety at all in the workshop?
+Peter Vegelin that's traditional as you can get
+Peter Vegelin nah man we asian don't care jackshit about safety as long we got money
Was that a leaf spring?
+Morlanius
Yes, it was a truck leaf spring.
Marius
very nice asia
is that a dog screaming at the back?
Relax its just torture training XD
very nice ASIA
Nepal?
South east asian so south of vietnam and indochina and most of the pacific islands of the region.nepal is north of india and borders tibet
I know where Nepal is. The knife just looks like the kukri the Gurkhas I worked with carried.
It's in the Philippines, I can tell because of the signage at the wall and their language
Hi that is really good I am a chef and I whant to training one
There's a few OSHA violations in this video.
wow, such primitive.
Cool though =)
No smoking pero Ang lakas sumindi nung isa
