[@siebertz]

Wow. Very labor intensive. What do on of those Machetes go for?

[@Bushchannel]

This video was filmed 12mths ago. Machetes range from about 300-1500 pesos in Philippines.

Was that an old brake pad he was using for a whetstone?

[@Bushchannel]

No I think it’s just a normal wet stone that has been used a lot. It’s common to see very worn down sharpening stones in Philippines. The steel they’re using is soft leaf spring from recycled car parts so it needs regular sharpening.

How do you like using the rubber scales compared to the traditional horn scales. I would think that the full tang would be better at least over the rat tail that gets used on the horn. I hope you and your he wife were able to enjoy your time there and your wife is as able to spend some time with friends and family. I was a little surprised that you didn't get your hair cut to help with the heat like you normally do. God bless and stay safe.

Thanks Rich. I reckon the rubber handle is better grip and easier on the hands as it probably absorbs impact better😄

[@vasiliswolf]

thank you

What the heck was that 3:46 ............was he serious?? How much $$$ for the one you were using?

[@Bushchannel]

Yes not sure if he was almost gonna touch the hot steel and then at the last second thought ‘oh no’

[@clydegreenehaywoodco]

[@cracklepych]

[@killmimes]

How much does he charge for a knife

[@Bushchannel]

Speaking generally, machetes in Philippines will range from about 300 pesos up to about 1500 pesos and normally they sell without a sheath. (US$5 to US$27) We did buy the small machete you see us testing at the end, but I don’t remember how much it was.

[@ChristianMiradora]

Nice job buddy. You bet come here in bicol Philippines. Its the best bolo maker in the Philippines'

[@neilyakuza6595]

It is really too bad these blacksmiths can not ship over seas, as the shipping companies prohibit shipping of these blades.

[@Bushchannel]

That will depend where you are located. There’s about 195 countries in the world. In Australia for example, machetes are available in many camping and hardware stores along with axes, chainsaws and other standard wood cutting tools.

[@killmimes]

The beating steel is probably 86100.
