A Blacksmith in Vietnam making a two handed machetes. Welcome to Trooc Village, Phong Nha-Ke Bang. The young lady in black is Huyen, she is acting as our English interpreter and guide. Phong Nha-Ke Bang is best known around the world for having massive caves. We have more Vietnamese blacksmith videos to follow. The two handed machete that you see in the outro is a traditional farming tool called a Xa Gac. In the video we're chopping a coffee tree with the Xa Gac. The short tanged blade is wedged into the most solid part of the bamboo root, the curved shape is totally natural and they find them that way.
