Default Thai village smith.

A friend sent this link to me, it is a really good video of a Thai smith making a machete type knife using all traditional techniques.

I have not seen a smith in Jawa or Bali working in this way for more than 35 years. Nobody wants to do things the hard way when electricity becomes available. But I reckon that in some of the out of the way desas there would still be smiths in Bali & Jawa who used these old methods.
