Well crafted. Here in the Philippines, we also make use of such material as handle for bolos and the blades are made from automobile leaf springs locally known as “mulye”. Thus, itak mulye is very popular here.
This artisan is so skilled & well versed with his tools & materials , that he can hog out the unwanted & go straight to nearly finished contours on the piece !!!
Que hermosura de arte, realmente lo felicito por su buen gusto me gustaria saber cual es la resistencia al trabajo digo al usuario de estas herramientas de filo por este material de cuerno de bufalo y con que dureza fabrica y forjan las hojas de los aceros, le felicito por su mano de guerrero artesano..!! "Si vis pacem parrabellum..!" lo saludo desde Argentina.
I get the distinct impression , by the way this artisan acts & moves , that he is not a first generation artist , out of his family !!! To me , he has grown up around these tools & materials & could be from a long line of family artists & crafts people !!!
¡Qué habilidad impresionante tiene el operador de motosierra! Realmente es asombroso ver cómo puede crear una tabla de madera de ese tamaño con resultados tan precisos. ¡Increíble!
Awesome - and if you can't get water buffalo horn there are similar videos that show craftsman like him using pieces of sewer pipe with cutting and heat treating then staining to make a sheath that looks very similar. I made one for my machete and love it. Bookmark this one though because he has a lot of neat little tricks that will work with any build.
