Afrikaner here, c'mon my man, your people made excellent Iklwa without all this modern machinery nonsense. We fought you hard, you defeated us well. Much respect
I've always loved the Zulu Iklwa! I love your version of it! And if it wasn't so expensive to ship overseas, I'd send y'all a case of Monster energy drinks 😆
In Zulu we say “Bayede” meaning Hail, Great One!" or "King of Kings." Having bloodline of Shando ka Ndaba the grandfather of Shaka Zulu. I can safely say bayede Martin great work.
Very cool Spear-sword! So versatile, great indexing, not too tip-heavy, good pommel/butt. Set to survive against shields and counter-attacks. Maybe some small quillons but stubby as on a boar-spear. Amazing work.
Martin Huber enters the room with a zulu spear non redbull energy drink😬😬 😂 great forge I'm really looking forward to see more of your videos as i am a huge fan of blacksmithing and only wish i had the skill anyway You just got a new sub brother I am a zulu young man all the way from South africa.
Congrats on Redbull deal. I love the brut de forge fuller on the blade. I've got to say you guys have come along way with the cinematography from the first video I viewed. As always thank you guys for your time...and keep it fun.😂😂😂
man that fuller makes 90% of the esthetics on this blade i think :D Haha we try our best and thanks to the help of Moe (camera dude) its even nicer :D One day i hope i can actually pay him for the work he does for the channel and not only take him on the US trips :D
Red Bull came through!! I probably would have geeked out a little bit more than that. Good job keeping your cool. You're on their radar now! Another great video. Love it.
Really nice work! I always find it amazing to see a relatively small piece of round bar transform into a massive weapon 😅 (That's what my wife said last night aswell 😂)
Extremely cool weapon! Zombie Tools made a unique blade called the "Spit" that was inspired by the Zulu Ikwala too. I liked their spin on it for being more beefy and virtually indestructible
nice piece of work/art 👍 particularly with the burning blade 😆 very interesting weapon, would love to see more such projects did the sneaky product placement finally pay off ?? you would earn it 😉😁
That's a beautifully made weapon, it'd be a great addition to any collection. The only change I'd make is to turn the butt end into a (beer) bottle opener 🤣
Its called an assagai. Part spear part sword. Development by one of the greatest military minds of all time Shaka Waka Senzangakhona, the emporer and founder of the Zulu Empire. Commonly known as Shaka Zulu!!
@@allhaildrewzavic2838You’re insinuating that there’s only one type of Zulu spear. There’s an assagai and there’s an Iklwa, two different spears. THIS ONE is an Iklwa🤦🏾♂️.
What I think is fascinating is Shaka Zulu though thousands of years apart and thousands of miles away managed to create similar tactics and hand to hand techniques remarkably similar to the romans
As a fan of the Shaka Zulu epic which was played by South African footballer Henry “black cat “ ceily I gotta say it looks cool although not how it was designed or described in the movie 1:1, but still a good interpretation
Saubere Arbeit! Absoluten Respekt! Nur eine kleine Anmerkung, Black 28 ist zu 100% besser als der Red Bull Dreck. Check die Inhaltsstoffe, und Zero ist ein absolutes NoGo, wegen Aspartam und Co. Bei Ballistol und dem Wachs bin ich dann wieder voll dabei. 🤣 Grüße aus dem Odenwald.
@ I woaß, was du meinst, und die Geschmäcker san halt unterschiedlich. Möcht obr deine großartigen Arbeiten au in 20 Jahren noch seh’n. Und drum möcht i, dass du dann immer noch so a zünftiger Bub bist. 😬 denk du kennst den shurap aus der Ukraine bestimmt von YT, die Tee‘s sind auch immer sehr lecker. Teilweise selbst schon probiert. 😬
@MartinHuber_Knives well I loved the video and am subscribed now looking forward to watching more videos thanks for making great videos and awesome stuff
I see Zulu, Viking or Spartan... I click. That's the dopest most coolest looking Iklwa 🔥
haha nice!
then we will have 3 videos coming for you in 2025 that you'll 100% click 😄😄😄
❤that's a lovely piece and this comes from a Zulu person.
My father owned one and passed it on to me and it's fully metal.
thanks, honored ❤️
Zulu Man here. We approve of this message.
Appreciate it! 🙌🏻😊
xhosa bro here always wondered do Zulu still practice with the spear
@@VusiNqono molo mhlekazi, yes we still train with it but that's only in certain areas in deep KZN. Usually use sticks to practice
Afrikaner here, c'mon my man, your people made excellent Iklwa without all this modern machinery nonsense. We fought you hard, you defeated us well. Much respect
@@luckystriker7489 That's the one that went in and came back with intestines attached, right? The short one used during King Shaka's rule?
Zulu man here from KwaZulu some changes but that what the king was about right, change. so we approve brother
Thanks buddy
On behalf of Zulu Men , you are one of us now ... 🤝 💯 Approved
🙌🏻😍🙌🏻
I've always loved the Zulu Iklwa! I love your version of it! And if it wasn't so expensive to ship overseas, I'd send y'all a case of Monster energy drinks 😆

Mmmmmmm, Monster! That's what my shop runs on!
I always wanted a zulu spear!

My late king inkosi uShaka would be so proud
Beautiful work my brother
Thank you 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Lol 😊 Come see a Viking forge a Zulu spear ⚔️🛡⚒️ Respect 👊🏾

Very subtle product placement, love it! 😅

😂🙌🏻😂
Agreed boet
It is lovely... you'd make the Tribe proud ❤❤❤.
Blasphemy
😂 and guess where he’ll stick it.
The first king Shaka Zulu was only Two hundred years ago, just before the Anglo-Zulu war.

King Shaka would have loved this one 😂
🙌🏻😊
@MartinHuber_Knives but he was the type to kill the chef for cooking too good 😂😂😂 I'd suggest you run
I never wanted a spear, but this one would be the one.

in alot of cultures the black smith has an almost mystical presence, seeing you work really helps me under stand that. what beautiful spear.
Thank you!

Some BEAUTIFUL work on your website bro, this spear is sweet.
thanks!!
Extremely cool weapon! Zombie Tools made a unique blade called the "Spit" that was inspired by the Zulu Ikwala too. I liked their spin on it for being more beefy and virtually indestructible
Thanks!
The guys from ZT are super cool dudes
talked some time with them.the last 2 bladeshows
It is a beautiful spear. Deadly, yes, but beautiful.
Beautiful deadly...sounds great!
Holy shit! You finally earned my sub by making the zulu spear! I was hoping for a go mai version but this will do. Thanks!
WUHU FINALLY 😍
It's Martin Huber with more tips for the knife maker!
makerrrrrr
Nice shout out to Walter Sorrels
Excellent!!👍👍
I'm blades man and I have to say that is a beautiful spear
thank youa
Great editing on the multiple Martin's! Love you work, keep it up! Congrats on the Ballistol and Redbull sponsorships!
thanks buddy 🙌🏻😄
Historical fact is that the spear was shortened for use as a stabbing spear and not for throwing.
i read about this once!
Now that is cool spear 👌👌👌🔥🔥
thank ya!
Man i get so excited to see a new vidoe from you pop up. Thanks again for a winderffun and amazing build
haha thanks buddy :D appreciate it
Thats a very practical weapon actually
It honestly turned out way better than i thought it would!
Good one, Martin! Thanks for creating and posting!
Thanks for watching! :)
from South Africa
🙌🏻
If our spears could cut like this I can only imagine what our ancestors would have achieved.
yeah its a sharp baby!
They were easily this sharp. It's just that it doesn't matter how sharp your spear is when you're going up against a machine gun.
Congrats on the Redbull!!!!!!!
😍
love the Iklwa!
thanks!
The editing is getting insane!
aw thanks :D i try my best
@@MartinHuber_Knives your improvement is insane, love the intro, outro and everything in between

Hey! Congratulations! And that spear is badass!

maybe it payed off... 😄
Very cool build. Such a beast. 😂

Cool vidéo , you should try the indestructible handle construction 😁🔪👍
Ps: I love the way you forged that blade shape😎
haha yeah :D

WOHOOO!!!! 🙌🏻
I want one of these!
Its available!
Its called an assagai. Part spear part sword. Development by one of the greatest military minds of all time Shaka Waka Senzangakhona, the emporer and founder of the Zulu Empire. Commonly known as Shaka Zulu!!
Awesome, thanks for the insight!!!
Its not an assagai, the hilt is too short to be a throwing spear. This one is the legendary Iklwa.
@tchweps9244 he literally said it's a Zulu spear. Literally an assagai
@tchweps9244 please research the Zulu assagai
@@allhaildrewzavic2838You’re insinuating that there’s only one type of Zulu spear. There’s an assagai and there’s an Iklwa, two different spears. THIS ONE is an Iklwa🤦🏾♂️.
The assegai ,the iklwa when it stads in the body
cool!
Ото просто ахеренное!🤘🤘🤘🤘
🙌🙌
What I think is fascinating is Shaka Zulu though thousands of years apart and thousands of miles away managed to create similar tactics and hand to hand techniques remarkably similar to the romans
Technology is a weird thing happening so many places at once without them connected.
And thats actually freaking cool!!
Amazing work your channel is now my favorite channel since the that works channel is not posting any more videos 😩😢
haha thanks man 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Das ist mal ein Spielzeug😁 das nächste logische wäre dann natürlich der Dreizack von Aquaman. Was ist besser als ein Zacken? Drei Zacken! 😂😂😂
hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂
@ 😂😂😂 cooles projekt und video auf jeden fall😊👍🏻
Love to have one.
thanks 🙌🏻
its available in the onlineshop
shaka would be proud

This is a great video. The song is great too. I wonder who it is?
thanks buddy

@@MartinHuber_Knives Who sings the songs? What is their name?
Is it just me, or does this resemble an extended Gladius? Great build mate. New subscriber.
GLADIUS ON A STICK!!! 😂🙌🏻
thanks man appreciate it
the way the blade is shaped makes it kinda look like a mainz gladius on a stick XD
GLADUIS ON A STICK 😂🙌🏻🙌🏻 LOVE IT

@@Redseal231 thanks buddy, appreciate it :)
I don't know much so I could be wrong, but in this kind of spear shouldn't the be the same length as the handle? It's still a great spear😊
there are so many different ones 😄
got a few pics after upload from a friend of mine living down there and all 4 looked different
and thanks btw!
Im here for the swordy spear or speary sword
speary sword spear? 🤔
I be interested to do something like that as well
