Nothing fills a metal forgets heart with more joy than when people show interest I can guarantee it I mean like obviously customer money helps and all but when people are interested in what you do it feels amazing.
I love watching these ambitious, resourceful young craftsmen, using just simple tools they can afford or make themselves. Their superb craftsmanship and design is what they sell. I was hoping he was going to heat treat that blade, and sure enough! Thanks so much for documenting and sharing this! My brother lives on Panay, near Boracay. Got to go back there!
Panay has a very rich blade culture, much more so than their neighboring islands. You may want to checkout the town of Libacao in Aklan province (where Boracay is also located), there are still blacksmiths there who make traditional blades with very intricate designs.
No shirt, No safety goggles, No steel toed boots, No fireproof pants, gloves or apron, No pneumatic hammers, No temperature cycle oven and still makes a great machete. Yup, that's the Philippines for you.
That's cause he's hurt himself that many times that he knows every single thing that could go wrong haha a true blacksmith shoes are for the unburned.😂😂😂
Full tang Philipine Bolos especially the ones made of Leaf Spring (mulye) are quite exceptional when it comes to quality and durability. We have a wide array of varieties to choose from here in Pangasinan.
This guys has lots of skills. With just the basic tools they transformed a raw bar into a good cutting tools. No wonder the Romans can create marvelous structures that transformed humanity.
I wanted to let you know that I absolutely LOVE when you post videos of blacksmiths from your side of the world. The amount of information that can be obtained from your footage is much if you know how to look for it.
In Cebuano, the sort of catchall term for a machete is "sundang" though there are lots more subtypes like ginunting, pinuti, panumbahay, lagaraw, and more. Other types I can remember off the bat are guna, panabas, pananggutay, sungkit, likung, sanggut. Bogo is a tree from which the village is named. Also if you can, Moro/Muslim smiths down south here in Mindanao have the most badass blades.
Great job of posting our traditional craft. I hope you will also feature batangas balisong anf other Philippine traditional knives. To tell you the truth tradional knife making here is already a dying art and tradition. Like the moro kris. It is very an authentic one.
So here in some other island in the philippines, we do it differently. We put safety on the design as such the blade is much broader than the hilt so that you would not harm your self if you thrust something thereby preventing your hand from slipping into the blade.
May ganyan dito sa amin at patuloy ang orders sa kanila kasi biglang dumami ang nagtatanim sa bahay at bakuran gawa ng lockdown. Sana nga ganun din sa kanila...
damn this guys are true blacksmith they knew how to do it without any help with machinery to make tools except the grinder which use to sharpen there blades
For me it'd be more like "I'm having what the locals are having" as these kukri/enep type machetes look hella sweet. But to each his own. Nice vid as always.
Luh! Kuyawa uy! Wa sila tsinilas, mga Gahi ug astig! Si Tatang mu ahit tapos testingun sa iyahang leeg. hahaha... Very informative, I learned that I do not need fancy tools to do what they do, I will try this.
A thinner machete I can control cuting wood angles better and swing faster forless energy. The machete i just smithed is about 1kg or 2.25lbs straight edge. By latino style machetes you mean the Jason machete that they sell at harnor freight?
I like lighter machetes on cutting small branches and shrubs but I prefer heavier ones in cutting thicker material like leg size logs or bigger and thick bamboos. Try to chop thick log with light machete even if its razor sharp the penetrating power depends on how much force you exert to each swing. Causing more pressure on your palm and whole chopping arm which sometime can cause palm soreness and blisters. While with heavier ones gravity will help to double the force and sometimes you just let gravity itself be the force behind each chop and just use your chopping arm to swing and guide the machete to you target. As someone who lives in a rural community machete is a must and at least 5 days in a month that we use a machete. If I were to choose i'd pick the heavier ones. They can do more base on my experiences using machetes. But of course people are different thats just my part of the story hahahah
@@Bushchannel Thank you so much for your reply, am in the process of watching the video now, by god that thing is a beast and a half, I am in the early stages of building one myself but it will not be a quarter of the size of that one! Again thanks.
i like the craftsmanship and love your videos. but can u next time take a half dozen pairs of cheap safety glasses and pass them out to these great smiths? seems like it would be nice for them as i have personally had many eye problems while forging and sanding steel even with safety glasses. just thinking out loud no disrespect intended.
Great video thanks! What is total time to make? What do they cost? Is a blacksmith considered a well paid upper class manufacturer so to speak? Thanks again.
So what does something like that cost? I was in the Phillipines while in the Marines and we bought knives on one of the islands. They were made from leaf springs like this video shows and came with sheaths. Really cool. I think we traded for them or bought them. Don't remember which.
I had one in the ghurka design that I got in Subic Bay, the brass in the hilt was cast from recycled ammo rounds and the handle was aluminum from mortar and artillery fins collected in the impact area. The sheath was carved mahogany with more brass wrapping. For 20 bucks I feel like I stole it from the guy. Semper fi.
@@alekkela6070 How would you know? Let me guess, your head is up your own ass and you suffer from oxygen deprivation? One day you may hear a loud popping sound, that's when your head finally comes out!!! Hope you are not an American, because you dont deserve the freedom that many people have died for. You have no clue what's REALLY going on anyway, your a lemming.
I don't think there's a more beautiful sight than watching someone do what they love and these guys are true craftsman
Craftmen with out a Doubt
Nothing fills a metal forgets heart with more joy than when people show interest I can guarantee it I mean like obviously customer money helps and all but when people are interested in what you do it feels amazing.
You may be badass, but you aren't forging a machete with a coal forge in shorts and flip flops badass. Mad respect for these craftsmen.

Oh man! Someone from Panay here. See you there.

Awesome smithing! Love the guys who can make it work with minimal tools
No shirt, No safety goggles, No steel toed boots, No fireproof pants, gloves or apron, No pneumatic hammers, No temperature cycle oven and still makes a great machete. Yup, that's the Philippines for you.
That's cause he's hurt himself that many times that he knows every single thing that could go wrong haha a true blacksmith shoes are for the unburned.😂😂😂
Safety gadgets is more expensive than the machete. Can't afford for it. 🤣I hope you can donate if you are concerned.
That's right, donate if you're really concern😅
You see japanese makers wearing safety stuff as well?? Lol
Not even a proper anvil

Ito dpat support ng gobyerno mga gagaling nanting pinoy basta may supporta lang kasi iba tinutukan ei
Love seeing the blacksmiths and the tools they have made to make the blades. That power hammer at the end of the video looked amazing!
I wanted to go to the finish and see the results but I could not stop watching for a second.
I wanted to let you know that I absolutely LOVE when you post videos of blacksmiths from your side of the world. The amount of information that can be obtained from your footage is much if you know how to look for it.
Thanks from Bush Channel !
Oh "
You can order also online
@@Bushchannel video mo nakita ko yan sa ibang blogger sa leyte yan hindi sa cebu at salita nila waray hindi cebuhano
Pinoys will make due with what they have. They are very resourceful and creative.

Excellent video nice to see how they make things around the world
Nice sir... Blacksmith's handcraft may not be in perfect shape as the factory-made but there was a story to tell behind your "Bolo".
i just love your videos !!!! thanks so much for sharing such great works !! Blessings from Michigan USA !!
Thanks from Bush Channel
Boa
Hard working boys. I really thank God for my work
Fuck... Forged In Fire..... these guys impressed the shit outta me!
Welp they used machinery on the show but these guys do it the old manual way
pro trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Thaddeus Abram Definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)
I am always amazed at something so useful is made with so little tools, thank you for making this video.
Interesting to watch the videos of different blacksmiths with different styles best.
Makes me want to go back. So simple and beautiful there.
You can go to our place at Benguet Province here in the Phil. Just to watch more skill blacksmith.
Proud son of Blacksmith
Yeah .. benguet, ifugao ect you got 100s of blacksmiths making some great knives... Especially the rattan work
its awesome to see how proud they are of their hard work at the end there.. God bless them!!
They have a right to be proud. They have great skills.
@@williammitchell1804 absolutely
Love it! Especially the guy checking his sharpening on the cleaver by cutting his hair at 14:09
Is that a trucks leaf spring? And bamboo to hold cutting tool. SKILLS.
I love to see this kind of videos. I hope to somehow one day visit this craftsmens. Thanks for sharing.
The address is in the description !!
I like your videos. It is nice to see how we do these in the old days, we forgot how it is done because of the advancement in our modern world.
I was watching sailboat videos and 30 minutes later, I don't know why I'm watching this.
Raw and beautiful! You made me subscribed!
Where are they located ? I'll hopefully be there in November
Love the fact that they are forging nearly the same way it was done for the past 1000 years prior to the mid 1900's.
Even 2000 years at most
it still works anyway and the end product is as effective as from someone's using very high-tech tools.
Great job of posting our traditional craft. I hope you will also feature batangas balisong anf other Philippine traditional knives. To tell you the truth tradional knife making here is already a dying art and tradition. Like the moro kris. It is very an authentic one.
Nice video thank you for sharing this video.
WITH THE MOST BASIC TOOLS, WELL MADE CRAFTS
greetings from the republic of panama in central america
This is what Talented Tradesmen can do with very little resources! Great work!!
Machete is my favorite tool. Tomahawks second. Please review your blades that have been collected in new video. Thank you for sharing this.
Yes we might be doing an updated machete load out video where you’ll see them all together.
So here in some other island in the philippines, we do it differently. We put safety on the design as such the blade is much broader than the hilt so that you would not harm your self if you thrust something thereby preventing your hand from slipping into the blade.
nice video. i hope these smiths are doing fine now in spite of the pandemic.

@@kswsquared hala nakakainggit. Ang gaganda siguro ng mga matatanggap nilang machete
they are dong fine.. They celebrated their fiesta last april 26, I dropped by last week and have them make for me a parang blade and a sundang.
Até hj nunca vi cuteleiro mais bom que esses aí, com pouco material faz um trabalho top, imagina em uma oficina moderna
Great video although I have to ask because the audio wasn't very clear, what is the purpose of rubbing soap on the blade edge?
damn this guys are true blacksmith they knew how to do it without any help with machinery to make tools
except the grinder which use to sharpen there blades
Do they make ram dao swords and dadao swords and falchion swords? 🤔
For me it'd be more like "I'm having what the locals are having" as these kukri/enep type machetes look hella sweet. But to each his own. Nice vid as always.
They're not locals, they're middleclass modern people
I wish I could buy one of thse bolos. so nice.
He is good blacksmith!
Parabéns aí pelo trabalho
Gotta love the safety gear

Where is it exactly in Cebu this smith...?
This philippines machetes are way more reliable than the latino style ones. It is thick and forged, doesnt chip out
what are the latinos good for eh?
Ni madres los latinos tenemos buenos machotes

Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

Don’t take anything too literal wth is your problem

Lolol
Great piece of art.. do you have license?
Durable, very good workmanship.. In Malay it is 'pandai besi or rajin besi'

Hello, please say hello to the blacksmiths!!!
@@Bushchannel sure, I will say hello to them coming from you

Where could i get one of these just shy of flying to cebu. Link?
Can the flat end Filipino machete be bought & shipped to the U.S. ?
Asa ni dapeta sa cebu sir ang buhatan og engana kay pabuhat mi
Bogo is a Barrio or Barangay. The town is Argao. Province is Cebu.

I suggest to visit alson in Danao Cebu and look how to make gun.
Does anyone know how I could contact these blacksmiths to make an order?! I'm in Bohol.
Sire saan banda eto sa Cebu city
Hope that the local government help these craftsman and lend them tools and machines, politicians only looks for what they can pocket

Great video thanks! What is total time to make? What do they cost? Is a blacksmith considered a well paid upper class manufacturer so to speak? Thanks again.
Hello it took almost 3 hours to make this machete. I think it was 1000 pesos. Some blacksmith shop owners would make more than others.
So what does something like that cost?
I was in the Phillipines while in the Marines and we bought knives on one of the islands. They were made from leaf springs like this video shows and came with sheaths. Really cool. I think we traded for them or bought them. Don't remember which.
10 to 15 dollars very cheap but way more durable because the metal was forged and not sculpted directly
Ano an gamit nyo na uling pambaga sa metal?
Kalimitan ginagamit na uling ay Ang uling ng bao ng niyog.. matagal Kasi maubos di kagaya ng uling na kahoy..
Is this Argao south of Cebu?
Sir pede b mkaorder Jan NG itak gawa s cebu
Brad asamong dapita sa cebu
I am also a knife maker from Cebu! Where was this filmed?
Bogo, Argao sir
Idol maka palit ko Ana? asa? Makahimo Sila guntingan

Just like it’s been done for hundreds and hundreds of years, maybe even over a thousand, in the Philippines.

So your black smith is in Cebu?
I THINK PANGASINAN HAS THE BEST BOLOS AND BLACKSMITH IN THE PHILIPPINES
Bai pili mana nga bulo?
Is this in Bogo Argao Cebu?
Dili sa leyte na dong
