What happens to all the meat?
What about the khukuri 🤔
I'm from Philippines
Naga machete or called Dao. Very simple in design but affective. Known to hack human from shoulder to waist in single stroke. If FIF can include this, would be very glad.
Currently Keris is only used for 3 things: 1. Stabbing people 2. Magic rituals 3. My grandpa's house decoration
this thing accurate
Oi! My house decoration too! 😭
At least it is still used for its original intention, stabbing people.
Don’t grooms wear them during weddings too?
I have one and it have a "perumah"
i'm waiting for flip flops, sandals, belts, broomsticks and hangers. these are the primary weapons in asia 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

I am Filipino, born and raised, and I cannot be more proud of my ancestry. I remember my lola using the Panabas for harvesting crops.
You gotta give it to Doug for pronouncing the names of the Filipino weapons quite well.
@@kansergaming3106 well guess what, Doug is a Filipino lol.
@Ammagon Well, when you live in the US for a long time, you tend to lose the Filipino accent.
I have some friends in Filipino decent and I love their history I am irish decent and I’m so astonished by how they were easily able to wield a Claymore like the Scottish
@@kansergaming3106 I dont think so, I have many Asian friends that live in US and they don't lose their accents. I guess its in their blood.
Trust me, Ive been to the Ph. and saw them using the weapons shown here (except Tapilan, I saw one as an heirloom) for chopping wood, chopping bamboo, etc, they even used the panabas and gulok for opening coconuts and chopping wood... they even use it to dig small holes for agriculutural purposes, and gardening
It’s Kampilan
Lol I'm Filipino and I did not even know it was used for battles back in the day
@@jamordigos8181 I saw a kampilan displayed on a friend's house, looks like its been used in many battles too

@@alwalidianyt4559 it will torture

The mutual respect between winners and losers is one of my favorite parts of this show
I have to say Black smithing is one of professions that respect each other due to understanding how hard it is to make a capable weapon and not break, Even in Japan you see Masters at age 70 say they will never surpass this guy or that master when they themselves sell Katana that cost millions in auctions.
@@lossantoscity3249 I saw that too and my father also saw a very old blacksmith(dunno his age tho) and that guy was said to forge the sharpest Hanzo Katana of his area when he was young but when my father asked him he politely said that there people in the area that make better blades but don't get enough recognition.
Yes!
Yeah, cause they still get paid either way
27:19 Doug being able to only watch from the back (as he's currently recovering from injuries atm) while holding in his craving to test the weapon himself made me rolling 🤣
Same at 1:20. He is like "Niiiiice! I wish I was the one chopping that pig."
I knew it😂😆
I'm from Java, Indonesia. The keris usually dipped in venomous poison, so we just need to make small wound for the victim and let the poison do their job. In the ancient time, keris was made by an Empu from materials like meteorite, nickel, iron, and steel combined together. Keris always have various ornament with their own meaning called "pamor". Keris often have some mystical spirit that can be used for various purpose. Thank you.

Fun fact: the keris was actually created that shape for thrusting and stabbing. It would create a more lethal wound that would easily kill with 1 stab
how to know your keris has a sharp blade if you can slash it ..
many weapon long sword and spears from indonesia dif native not recorded well in history and shields too.. lol only these most famous and publicity
Kris is considered as "dagger" class weapon. So stabbing is the main forte. Moro Kris on the other side, its considered a "short sword" class from the length alone so its slashing focused
@@harrygaming2422 stop playing games and read more books. keris is used along with poison, so warriors dont need to stash nor thrust it so deeply cause the cause of death is the poison.

Flipflops, Sinturon(Belt), Hanger and Tingting (Thin Ouchiwawa long stick) Are The Philippines Legendary Weapons
Filipino mothers are the best because whatever it hold it will fly over me
"Thin ouchiwawa long stick" lol
Your mom while wield those thing: "it will keel!"
Hahaha good old days
Those weapons are really pain in the a$$
The fact that it came down to the handle style and file work on those panabas shows you that both were exceptional quality blades.
I'm a Filipino and I had no idea about the complex history our swords and their name. Heck, even The Panabas. I had no idea it was once a weapon. I have a panabas and I have been using it as a garden tool for digging holes, chopping trees and chopping weeds
That moment when you realize that most of the weapons here are readily available in normal people houses and used as utility/farming tools. except for the keris/kris. would like to see kerambit/karambit here too.
A weapon firmly in the realm of Kali/Silat. Would be fun to see Doug go to a ballistics dummy with a karambit.
There was already an episode that they made a karambit but its not the final weapon build. It's a challenge build on round 1 and 2.
Mandau is not for farming, there for head hunters and ceremony. Salam budaya dari kalimantan timur.
It would be pretty hard to do a durability test on a karambit. Coz its for slicing only. And the karambit is also pretty hard to docthe kill test coz its very small
@@ihiaolookihiatoo1640 that's why it's so dangerous. Small, slick, fast. You wouldn't see them coming. You thought they just throwing punches, but in reality there are pointy scary blade. It's supposed to be a hidden weapon.
Its wonderful how the Forged in Fire competitors have an amazing sense of sportsmanship and respect for each other.
They have to be...blades are involved..lol
Kudos to Doug for pronouncing the names of the weapons correctly
Well he's Filipino tho so I think that helps
Except for kelewang and keris😔😔😔
@@tehtarik4326 it's because in Tagalog language or his dialect not often using the vowel "e" actually when I heard Malaysian and Indonesia proununcing the vowel "e" it's sounds like Americans
NO. We would never pronounce Golok as Glok. It is always pronounced as "Go Lok". We also never pronounce Kelawang as Killa wang. The correct pronunciation is Ke Laa Wang.
Loved how the panabas worked, both as an agricultural tool for scything tall grass around our farmland and as a weapon for self-defense besides the bolo dangling on its scabbard around my waist. I modified my own panabas handle to make its reach longer so I can cut down high branches and other vegetation a little further from myself. Both blade smiths did well in forging the tool. Comgratulations to the winner.
When I see you swing keris like sword, so I understand why western demands a crispy rendang...

What this show impressed me most is the harmony feel and intense but friendly atmosphere of it. Simple, direct, and classic. Well done.
Pete just mentioning his grandkids is just pure warmth and love man.
"and i know all 24 grandkids are gonna be excited for Grandpa" Who hurt this wholesome man?! 😭
Ye, i wonder what kind of blade he will use with his 24 grandchild
Anakin would like to have a word with you
The thing I love most about this series is the camaraderie and respect the contestants have for each other. The only drama is with the steel, not each other. Every achievement is congratulated by your opponent, every failure felt just as much as the smith that forged the blade. Pure class.
"It will kill" he said with a smile while holding a killing weapon more smile here than a cooking competition
You not see actual by origin thats weapon made,Just say.
I think he says keel not kill
The moment when Doug said "Kam-Pi-Lan" correctly was pretty cool.
Fun fact, Keris is more for stabbing job rather than a sword..
Wait sword or knife?
Really? But it cuts so well
Yes. Usually in Malay peninsula(Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei), kris are small and it's more dagger-type weapon. So yeah, it can be used mainly for stabbing. That one kris which is performed in video is called 'Kalis', a sword-type kris that used by Moros.
Lol.. yup. A keris is a personal weapon for close quarter and deadly if pierce into a man’s stomach.
@@alohasnackbar3544 dude, For God's sake, how the heck did you write your name account like that? -_-
I'm from Indonesia, I want to emphasize that the Javanese keris uses it with a stab, not a slash
Yeah dude
yes, the keris is still on some kind of knife, not a sword
yes right, keris is still in the dagger class
This is from the philippines.
@@alvinsmith3894 no this is from Indonesia
kris's function is mostly for stabbing, as the weapon usually cleaned with arsenic to give it a dark matte finish. so it's lethal even though it's just inflict a small wound.

"It will KEEL" - SO SATISFYING 😭❤
Some of these weapons are shared throughout the Maritime SEA's region because of our common history.The Golok and Keris are widely used by the people of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Southern Philippines because Majapahit empire. As for Kampilan(Philippines), Panabas, (Southern Philippines), Klewang (East coast Malaysia), and Pandat (Dayak of Borneo), those could be localized.
"... because Majapahit Empire?" It's news to me.
I don't even think the golok is depicted in texts and drawings taught in grade schools. The kampilan, although not specifically named, appears all the time, as does the Moro kris. Most depictions of Spanish colonial era revolutionaries show them wielding a bolo instead, which is a curved, machete-like tool.
Majapahit xD, what Majapahit do? 😂 Stop read hoax about Majapahit.

I Love when they include the history behind the weapons
Keris in Javanese culture is almost rarely used to attack enemies, keris is more used to symbolize the authority of men or knights. and keris are more often used for some traditional and sacred rituals. In some cultures, men who have grown up must have a keris that is made specifically to match the character of the owner of the keris.
Keris dalam budaya Jawa hampir jarang digunakan untuk menyerang musuh, keris lebih banyak digunakan untuk melambangkan kewibawaan laki-laki atau ksatria. dan keris lebih sering digunakan untuk beberapa ritual tradisional dan sakral. Dalam beberapa budaya, pria yang sudah dewasa pasti memiliki keris yang dibuat khusus agar sesuai dengan karakter pemilik keris.
I am Dayak Iban, from Borneo. Mandau/Nyabor/Ilang is Dayak weapon. One handed handling weapons. One shot killing swords for head hunter. The good weapons is not only about the swords... It also about who will fight with it and how he/she handle (skill) that weapon.
Agreed
Dusun sword "gayang" same like mandau sword..
I have a couple of Mandau, which I found at antique stores & shows in the US. One has a fairly plain blade, but a beautifully carved antler hilt: the other does not have its original hilt, but has some lovely filigree work on the back of the blade. I made scabbards for them both, trying to emulate the traditional style; and I attempted to carve a hilt for the other (alas, white-tail antler is not a good substitute).
bisa mandau terbang bang
@@Lucius1958 can you show us the Mandau. Just curious about the mandau design
they should put the ultimate asian weapon here .. the "ASIAN SLIPPER" my mom used that to me and ive gotta say its very effective
It's just like a guided missile But much more accurate
*PTSD Intesifies*
Heat Seeker of Asia HAHAHA
What about the "grandma's hanger"?? that's pretty deadly too
also serves as a THROWING WEAPON!
I'm a bit surprised at the absence of the _parang ilang_ or _mandau_ ... a classic Bornean sword, with an interesting lateral curve to the blade. Is nobody in the US trying to forge those?
It's funny how amongst the hosts, Doug has the most enthusiasm in the Keel test
agree! probably because he teaches Kali and well it's originally an art for killing 😅

43:35 "Your weapon will cut" The guy: "That's all I ever wanted to hear" Look how happy he was 😂😂😂
lol
Superb cutting power! In our locality here in the Philippines, some blacksmiths use a sturdy material which we call mulye (leaf spring) of a motor vehicle- thus the name itak mulye. I’ve been using it in cutting apart cow’s feet, pork ribs, goat heads, coconuts and due to its design and weight I also utilize it as an axe which I use in chopping firewood.
actually in many cases the keris is not used for slashing or open combat, but rather as a symbol of power and for silent killing thats why some keris have some poison on their scabbard, and for some myths every keris has some kind of supernatural power in it
There are many variety of blades here in the Philippines, like Barong, kampilan, Moro Kris,Tabas or Panabas, bolo, golok, punyal, ginunting and Balisong or butterfly knife.
Yeahhhhh! Butterfly! Probably the most sickest folding knife in the world.
@@gungatz6696 it is a good pocket knife and looks good but less practical for actually stabbing people because it does not have a guard, unless used in reverse grip like you would with an ice pick.

My mom’s right hand slap is a legendary weapon and also to add her “growl, battle yell”. For long range, I can’t forget her flashy slippers that leaves a stingy mark. I also recommend the “indestructable walis”. Both ends can stun you and rattle you. Quick note: Don’t mess with Southeast Asian Mothers esp. Filipinos.
7:36 That's the most chilling delivery of that line on this show.
Gulok use for chopping woods. Panabas is use in farm, cutting grass and other unwanted crops Kampilan is iconic sword used by early Filipino Warriors.

@@jerraalmonte8528 hi, I am a son of a farmer thats why I am familiar with those blades. And as Ilocano sometime we callded gulok as badang and Panabas as tabas.

in Indonesia its call golok... its use for nebas ( choping)
Ow its gulok? Hahahaha what i heard is golluck hahaha may bad
Sorry only for historical information and justification ... That the use of KERIS is not for weapons but is used like a STICK OF COMMAND for this era, which only belongs to those who lead ... the lowest keris holder is a LURAH or Village Leader Level and is handed over to his successor unless a Troop Leader can be owned forever or passed down to what he wants as a tribute to his struggle ... For ordinary people or ordinary troops, they should not have it, the weapons used by the troops in general are: - Machetes/Parang/Golok in (Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi), - Rencong in Aceh - Mandau in Kalimantan - (karambit, Bionet/Badik and Kujang as secret weapons) ... And for the common people using Sickle/Sabit/Clurit, Buding, Caluk, and others which mostly work equipment such as in livestock and agriculture, which because they have to be used as weapons ... These weapons are commonly used in Southeast Asia in its time until now but only have different names and carvings, where each region has its own characteristics ... Because of this, many keris have been sought after and fought over until now. The higher the degree / class / position in the government of the keris holder, the more expensive the keris price ... Nowadays keris is used during wedding processions as a celebration or symbolic feeling to feel like a king and queen in 1 day ... Thanks for your atention ... Hope this information can help everyone.

The KERIS or KRIS, like they said, is not only native to Indonesia, but it's used by the Moros, people who lived all throughout South East Asia. In the Philippines, the Kris is used as a weapon accompanied by a shield.

I'm from Java - Indonesia. Keris functions as a weapon and has other functions. Keris which is made as a weapon is made with special materials and special forgings. And I have seen an Empu Keris (a blacksmith who makes a keris) who can make a keris with sharpness capable of cutting iron.

Actually traditional Keris was not made to slash the target. For maximum effect, Keris are used by thrusting it to the target's rib cage horizontally, twist it vertically and try to pull it out then repeat it all over (except if the blade jammed). This will caused the target to bled profusely as the wound was opened (+ shape wound) and the victim would not be able to breath normally as the blade jammed the rib bone from its normal breathing movement. That's why most traditional Keris handle had its distinct shape and position to the blade (angled not parallel, unlike other blade). If you use Keris to slash, which is uncommon to its original user, the the wound inflicted was messed laceration which made it hard to stitch the wound. Now you can imagine what a wicked weapon this blade to its victims really was.
I'm sorry but I'm from Malaysia. Keris is our traditional weapon used from generation past to another generation. Would highly to highlight that Keris is effectively to stab the opponent with a Silat Martial Arts move, thus kill it instantly, it does not function properly if we slash using keris. Thank you. Love from Malaysia.
It says something when ONLY Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia only mentioned All and all, the weapon it just crazy cool and freakin lethal And the construction of the Jawanese Kris, that Steve made is so on point, and also so well done
Yeah, it says that the forged in fire team needs to do more research on the rest of SE Asia.
Agree.. justt little secret about Javanese Kriss, it makes from rare poisonous metal taken from asteroids.. the blacksmith (a.k.a mpu) usualy insert magical things in it.. therefore, the blades can cut other metal as easy as we cuts a tofu..

@@chennylouayala4723 What? It's understandable. Most of the Filipino weapons are still used today but mostly for agriculture. Unless someone tells you about their history specifically, you'll just think it has always been a farming tool.
I guess it also depends on how you'll view the tool/weapon, because even though we use screwdrivers for their intended purpose, it can still double up as a weapon, and the same goes for anything else really. It just depends on how versatile you would be with the item you're holding as almost anything can become a weapon

Have seen these amazing weapons cut.. From the phils, 3 can be found , gulok, kris and panabas.. From these 3, i found panabas as a scary and most effective tool cutting ang slicing.. very powerful..
Its golok,keris,penebas..using in silat martial art its weapon synonym with malays..one family or person usually have their own keris..customize based on lineage,size etc..easily to know if you royal,warrior or commoner based on keris you used.
The best show ever made, if only the could host it on other continents aswell and do a world tournament it would be even better.
I wouldn't call it the best show but it's a great show
I think all the staff in this show always bring home a free pork chop every blade tests
Hahaha
Hahahahahaha
So satisfied when he said "It will kill"
Most Pilipino weapons are designed to cut the enemy's head off with one single slash.
Keris isn't all about how sharp the blade is, but also mystical power that held in it, how deep and how much the curve is had a philosophical meaning. And keris is mostly not as long as in this video shown. But overall this show will kill (in a good way)
The Keris shown in the the video, was a "Moro Kris", a longer more heavy version of the original Keris blade. Moro being the southern Muslim sultanate region of the philippines.
To an extent a Keris sword
