Making Cambodia's Most Popular Axe By Cambodian Islam Blacksmiths

[@seanhoffer5332]

These guys are true blacksmiths. The way they take a rusty piece of steel and transform it into a practical useful tool is a true work of art. I wish I had half their skills and talents .

[@axeandturtle]

5:27 That axe eye drift looks loke also handle template!!!! Gorgeous!!! I really want this axe!! Please sell it internationally for big fans all of the world!!!! Respect from South Korea!

Spent 7 months in Cambodia in 1993. Industrious people for sure. Hired a local to rewind an electric motor for us. Looked as good as the factory and only cost about $5.00 after exchange. Would love to go back for a visit.

[@PlayingWithFireOutdoors]

I joined the Royal CDN Navy as a Hull-Tech . In my training I was given 3 months of metallurgy , then 2 months metal working and then woodworking. All under the nanny work safety that the government deems we use. All I thought of was great skills in a very rural environment. That and wow all his toes and fingers.

[@chrisbrent7487]

In Myanmar I watched a bunch of guys making gold leaf. They wrap a small piece of gold in leather, hold it between their toes and beat living hell out of the leather with a sledge hammer. They then unwrap it and re wrap in and repeat the process. The leather with the gold in it is only a few inches wide and they do this over and over until they have a small sheet of leaf a couple of inches across. Man those guys were accurate. The hammer strikes were centimetres from their toes and feet and they were hitting hard enough to completely pulverise their feet if they missed. They did it all in bare feet as well. I’ll bet accidents happened though, did you notice the last guy in this video only had one arm.

[@dadovitchnic]

I was in Cambodia in 1993 with the UN during the elections, we had a local carpenter do some work for us. His total tool count was 2, one of these axes and a saw with some of the teeth missing. He built a deck, between some tents we had, the axe was used as a hammer, chisel, etc he cut mortise joints by eye with the axe. Amazing workmanship.

Would love to visit that portion of the world some day, and would gladly look for this man's work and pay his asking price. He and his partner do amazing work, at a pace that defies my imagination. I have friends who make custom cutlery, and their waiting list are month's long, turning out work in three to five days time if its small. The final product is basic, functional, and purposeful. All the best things to an Artisan who knows his trade well. Wonderful presentation. Thanks.

Cambodia is a great place to vist..I've been there 3 times..going back when this china virus blows over..plane tickets vary greatly depending on time of year and company..$1k -$2k round trip tickets..it takes 3 planes and 34 -36 hrs to get there..people are friendly, and prices for everything is very low..worth the trouble of such a long travel time.. Angkor Wat temple is amazing..and its close to Thailand..takes nothing to vist a few countries when you are there..

👍👍👍👍professionnel

[@angelaabrams9108]

They're certainly industrious and make what looks like a nice product, but all the forging he did while the blade was cold (relatively speaking) most likely introduced a huge number of micro cracks in the metal. It probably won't matter with a hatchet unless the reverse is used as a hammer, but I'd be afraid any full size axe made the same way would shatter when put to hard use.

[@neilklump3744]

Archer41 She’s not a dumb twat. She makes a good point. There’s a couple instances where his steel is relatively cold, probably still fine but definitely borderline. And more often cameras make the steel look hotter than it is not colder. Really depends on how the light is. Literally just stepped out of my shop where I was just running the forge and doing some filming so I speak from at least a little experience.

[@brettharvey2530]

​@@HipposHateWater first world, third world..doesnt matter..most hobby blacksmiths in first world countries use the same materials this guy is using to make blades...using oil to quench and heat treating your blade isn't restricted to first world countries, it was done in medival Europe and everywhere else for a very long time...like i said you dont absolutely need an oven...it just makes things alot easier since you can just toss the blade in and turn the thing on and dont have to worry about watching the steel and pulling it when it turns the right color....and oil you can can get anywhere in the world...doesnt have to be fancy, you can use pretty much any oil..used motor oil is the easiest since its basically useless for everything else...these guys have it good enough to have electric grinders, im sure they could scrounge up a toaster over and some used motor or even cooking oil if they wanted to and their end product would be alot better.. better quality product means more work and more money for the blacksmith and his employees, and less customers going somewhere else to get the tools they need
