Blacksmiths making a sickle style machete in Vietnam. This is Part 2 of our Hoi An video, it focuses on the steel working and finishing side of the blade. In Part 1 of the video you will see Que (the blacksmith) working alone on the handle making.
Welcome to Hoi An City! Hoi An is known for its very old, but well preserved architecture, it was a major port for hundreds of years.
The blacksmith’s name is Que, his business name is Lo Ren. Que’s son joins in to help with the heavy sledge hammer work. The Lo Ren blacksmith shop can be found in Cua Dai street. Most of the south-east Asian blacksmiths we've filmed were in more rural areas, Lo Ren is right in the busy centre!
ADDRESS: Cua Dai Street, Hoi An City

Love these videos. No super steels, no exotic handles, just steel coal fire hammer forged, plain wooden handles. All crafted by hand. Real bushcraft tools!

This is awesome. I love the set up they have in all of these. Low tech and cheap but very practical and likely efficient. The tools are lovely too. Not the highest quality in the world but who cares they are probably cheap and work well. They can be used aggressively and you don’t need to worry about keeping them in perfect shape because they are made to be used. That young man with the sledge hammers was super accurate. I’m assuming he is an apprentice or a helper. Do they burn charcoal or bituminous coal? I love how they burn in the handles. Thanks for uploading

That one you showed at the end is wild looking that they use in the coffee fields Enjoyed very much as always and gave a Thumbs Up

@Bushchannel 5 лет назад

Yes the Xa Gac is quite an amazing looking tool. It’s the best of our Vietnam videos so we’re saving it for last :)

@Justmyopinionlol 4 года назад

you must admire the Vietnamese for their "can do" spirit. Hey, I got a pair of sandals and shorts how about we go making some knives today?

@SC-mq1eh 5 лет назад

granted every smith becomes accurate with a hammer - but the guy with sledgehammer is pretty good!

@JustinTopp 5 лет назад

S C pretty is an understatement. Especially for his age I know people who use sledge hammers daily and are less accurate than he is

WoW! That power hamer at the end of the video ! 11:43

@MMABreakdowns 5 лет назад

If you're in Vietnam you should check out Zwe company. It's located in Ba Vi. They're pretty good Blacksmiths.

@davidbuur6999 4 года назад

Want to forge a good knife you should go to the mountains of North Vietnam, because that is the place specializing in forging of the ethnic groups there, they make very sharp knives. In the South of Vietnam, they only make knives for gardening, but in the North of Vietnam, the ethnic groups there have to make a living in the forest, so they pay special attention to knives.

1:17 that steel looks a whole lot like re bar, unless he has welded on a re bar handle for the purpose of forging, which I doubt he did. This brings to question the hardness of the finished piece. I know in some countries they have limited resources and have to use what they have. The craftsmanship is excellent though, especially without the aid of a lot of power tools.

@henseleric 5 лет назад

I noticed the re-bar as well. Take a look at the sparks coming off the blade when he grinds it -looks like reasonably high-carbon to me.

@ianfinrir8724 5 лет назад

It probably holds an edge well enough for them, and really, you don't want a super hard edge for a working tool since the harder the edge, the more prone to chipping/breaking it'll be

@crizomarbruno 5 лет назад

@ieatcaribou7852 5 лет назад

Wow, rebar? Maybe the type he uses has a higher carbon content.

Machete price

@mickparker8544 5 лет назад

I paid 500,000 per machete after bartering. that's about $33 Australian, and well worth it. As of July 2019. I did purchase 4 though.

REBAR IS TOTAL CRAP FOR USING IN ANYTHING WITH A EDGE. NOT ENOUGH CARBON,

@Aes880 3 года назад

You can see the sparks in the grinding process which suggest reasonable carbon content,also it a work tool hard edge will just make it useless when you have to use it to chop tree and branch
