How Blacksmiths make Buffalo Horn Machete Handles UNCUT VERSION

Machete handles made from the horns of carabao! This is the UNCUT VERSION of the original video that was published in 2015. Carabao are a type of water buffalo found mainly in the Philippines.
Across the world machete handles are generally made from wood or plastic, in the Philippines carabao is a source of beef and they don't let the tough fibres of the horns go to waste. On a hiking trip in Ilocos Norte Province I was very interested to see that 99% of the machetes I saw the natives using had carabao horn handles. These Carabao water buffalos are everywhere in Philippines :-) But I'd never seen so many carabao horned machete handles in one province. Because of the similarities in the craftsmanship I suspected that all these blades were coming from one blacksmith!
