How Blacksmiths make Golok Machetes in Indonesia

Blacksmiths making Golok machetes at Lombok Island, Indonesia. Gegutu village is close to Mataram City, theres other blacksmiths nearby :) With the long handle, this Golok machete could be used one or two handed, its a nice practical weight for chopping heavier wood. Pandai besi is the Indonesian word for blacksmith. This blacksmith doesnt normally stamp his name into the steel, but with the camera rolling he wanted to show off We have other golok videos coming soon Lombok is a nice island to visit, the English speaking guide at 16:29 is Adhar Dafi from Senggigi Beach.
