One weird thing: we still make very round and polished handles for bush machetes, especially for coconut harvesting for some reason. Also there are regional "specialities" too: down south there's a right-angle blade for cutting specific types of grass down in paddy fields (it's used for making baskets and stuff but I forgot formal terminologies here)

My wife is from the PI. I have collected bolos/machetes/edged implements of all kinds. The lesson of Castaway. With a edged length of steel, you have a chance of survival. Without such your toast. I bought a Negrito woman's bolo while she was preparing dinner. We were on a tour of their relocation camp after Pinatubo displaced them. They were the last to leave and some stayed. Sacred Mountain blew its top after 300 year slumber. I kept laying 100 Peso bills down until she gave it to me plus the scabbard. About 500 Pesos/ $25.

They made some longer handle, but not to long (4 feet) for both clearing bushes and chopping down 12" diameter size trees. The blade should be 2.5 inches wide and about 3/8" thick. It depends on where you go in Vietnam you will see different type of machete. Go to Da` Lat and ask for "xa` ga.t" makes by the ethnic group tribe living in small village, you will find it. One of the best that I've seen.

Newer knife companies and custom makers had only one way to get into knife business and that''s the supersteel theory,that has IMHO done a lot of damage,on the knife industry.Our fathers and grandfathers survived with steels that don't hold an edge at all,yet they are much easier to keep them sharp than any super duper steel.Supersteels is a marketing trick and it is the last thing a user should care for. Heat treatment and geometry are far more important,than any steel. Generally, marketing through KZbin,where everybody is an expert,no matter if he can't say a saber from a flat or a convex from a scandi edge,has done a lot of damage on cutting tools.Nowdays tools are far more expensive and far more difficult to keep them sharp than they used to be and that KZbin nonsense,is one reason. PS I have never seen a better secondary heat treatment than the one on this video,so I don't care if it is a cheap carbon steel or a titanium meteorite uknown metal.

I have similar Thai machetes where the handle wasn't glued, as the purchaser usually did it. After sitting around for years, the tangs rusted tight into the handle and can hardly be removed with a hammer. Thais tend to use Lac (stick Lac, button Lac, a.k.a. shellac) to fasten the handles. It's a natural polymer that grows on trees thanks to Lac insects.

When I make a Two handed Machete somewhat resembling this in the video I use a split receiver that is larger at the socket and the receiver that has Stainless Steel inserts that have grooves that run the length of the socket, three grooves around the OD of the socket. When the blade is inserted into the Steel Socket it fits like the splines of a drive shaft into the transmission. Then a Safety Wire clamp is installed in the groves x2 in each groove. I have tested this design by pushing on the Handel/Blade to 3,000psi and the handle fails before the socket. I use Osage Orange, Hickory, or Ash as the handle.

This blade won't come out in a hurry. The smith cut up synthetic rope and stuffed it into the handle before inserting the hot tang. Traditionally, this was done with some sort of resin or resin/charcoal-mix. Has worked for centuries, still works with modern materials. Besides, with a cross pin you have a higher risk of splitting the handle. If the blade ever does come out, it is an easy fix: just stuff some of those ubiquitous plastic grocery bags into the tang hole, heat up the tip of the tang and re-insert the blade, let cool/set and you're ready to go again.
