2016 - The Blade Maker of Kalibo

I visited the Philippines in January. Since I started practicing Filipino Martial Arts I wanted to visit the islands. 
In Kalibo there are the last blacksmiths who forge and make traditional blades in the old traditional way. It is a dying art and they are trying to preserve it. 
This is a series of pictures I took while visiting one of the blacksmiths. I had the chance to watch him work. He showed us how the blades are made.
