i'm waiting for flip flops, sandals, belts, broomsticks and hangers. these are the primary weapons in asia 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Currently Keris is only used for 3 things: 1. Stabbing people 2. Magic rituals 3. My grandpa's house decoration

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 🤣

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.

The mutual respect between winners and losers is one of my favorite parts of this show

Can't believe that "Asian flipflops" weren't here

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

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.

When I see you swing keris like sword, so I understand why western demands a crispy rendang...

"It will KEEL" - SO SATISFYING 😭❤

38:11 Doug," no one can take that weapon away from you" 38:20 Wilis "I have to ask you to please surrender your blade" 😳😐

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

Flipflops, Sinturon(Belt), Hanger and Tingting (Thin Ouchiwawa long stick) Are The Philippines Legendary Weapons

The fact that it came down to the handle style and file work on those panabas shows you that both were exceptional quality blades.

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.

Proud Southeast Asian here. It feels good seeing some weapons/cultures from your region to showcase around the world

Its wonderful how the Forged in Fire competitors have an amazing sense of sportsmanship and respect for each other.

Pete just mentioning his grandkids is just pure warmth and love man.

Kudos to Doug for pronouncing the names of the weapons correctly

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.

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.

What this show impressed me most is the harmony feel and intense but friendly atmosphere of it. Simple, direct, and classic. Well done.

Guy: *Invents tool specifically for farming* Someone: This could be a weapon lol That guy: Am i a joke to you?

I was honestly surprised to see multiple Philippine weapons in this video, never thought my ancestors weapons will be chosen

Fun fact, Keris is more for stabbing job rather than a sword..

I Love when they include the history behind the weapons

The moment when Doug said "Kam-Pi-Lan" correctly was pretty cool.

I'm from Indonesia, I want to emphasize that the Javanese keris uses it with a stab, not a slash

"and i know all 24 grandkids are gonna be excited for Grandpa" Who hurt this wholesome man?! 😭

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

"It will kill" he said with a smile while holding a killing weapon more smile here than a cooking competition

Doug has the biggest smile on his face when he says “.... and it will KILL” hahahaha

they should put the ultimate asian weapon here .. the "ASIAN SLIPPER" my mom used that to me and ive gotta say its very effective

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

OMG I cant imagine how brutal our Filipino ancestors were ⚔️

43:35 "Your weapon will cut" The guy: "That's all I ever wanted to hear" Look how happy he was 😂😂😂

I cant believe you missed out on the Igorot Headhunters Axe.. Which is easily one of the most devastating and lethal weapons of Southeast Asia.. You have to include it as soon as possible! Doug will know about it and can assure you it will definitely keeeeeel :)

It's funny how amongst the hosts, Doug has the most enthusiasm in the Keel test

No matter how powerful this weapons are, our mom’s slippers, our dad’s belt always beats them.

I love the way they recreate this beautiful and well crafted weapons from southeast asia. Im from Philippines 🇵🇭 and I really like this show👍 Also me: "It will keel"

I'm so happy they included the Klewang. The weapon is a very important symbol in my state and is even symbolised further in the architecture of traditional houses there. It's also said to be the favorite weapon of the legendary Cik Siti Wan Kembang, The Queen of Kelantan of her time and one of the founders of the kingdom. I'm so glad the design is followed rather well by the competitors as well.

The happiness on this mans face when he says: "Your blade will kill"….

The kampihan is aware lagend hero.. national heroes of the philippines I'm from Phillipines

The 'kampilan' is a type of single-edged sword, traditionally used by various ethnic groups in the Philippine archipelago.

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.

This show is great and they give all the talented blacksmiths to showcase their craftsmanship.

I was also looking for the Balisong.

“Please surrender your Glock”

I love how Doug said kampilan. That pronounciation is solid.

I love how in the #4 the contestants would just look at eachother and nod after the judging lmaoo

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.

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.

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.

39:07 I really like the details, the 7 curves, the handle, the _"kembang kacang"_ , the _"greneng"_ , the surface Damascus iron look like, very traditional style. Well, intimidating size in battle field too..

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

The "it will keel" phrase never gets old

Is it me or Doug Marcaida is like a kid opening his Christmas gift under the tree on Christmas day when he says the blade can kill! :D But he's still an awesome dude...! :D

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.

Honestly these episodes are my favorite. I love getting to see more unique, obscure weapons in action. Don't get me wrong, I love European swords, but they aren't the most varied when it comes to shape

I didn't even know that Panabas is one of the deadliest sword in the world HAHAHA I just use that for cutting grass and crops

Love the history being told behind the weapon man

7:36 That's the most chilling delivery of that line on this show.

So satisfied when he said "It will kill"

Fake fans: I'm just here for IT WILL KEEL. 🌝 Real fans: I'm here for the amazing craftsmanship, competition, and for IT WILL KEEL.

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.

3:26 that blade sound and music makes a really good tune

I'm legit scared to watch strength tests, what if it snapped and flew away or worse to who's testing the blade.

After cutting those pigs with Kampilan. We cook it for Adobo 😁😁😁 Philippines here 😄

actually keris is secondary weapon used when army lost his sword or spear, and just middle level sociaty or upper who have this keris.and usually passed down from generation to generation

Happy to see there are shows like this. Amazing to know about these weapons. I only knew itak and bolo before, now I know 3 more Philippine blade weapons.

My great grandpa used to have a keris filled with demons inside, and after he passed...the keris just dissapear without a trace

imagine cutting the pig in half and they suddenly say: "it would not kill"

Im proud of my Filipino ancestors that 3 of 7 swords have featured here and showcase it's history

amazing cutting skills

38:00 nice keris even its bigger than normal but the look is great even the "luk" is eleven

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 think all the staff in this show always bring home a free pork chop every blade tests

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..

I remember seeing that Panabas being used in farms, like cutting sugar canes and tall grasses... I just knew it as something to cut grass, never knew it was also used as a weapom before.

I'mso proud being a Filipino that they showed 3 swords fron the Philippines. I am enjoying this series.

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

Sick

Keris Javanese weapons are not for slashing. but to stab. Dayak weapon "Mandau" to slash the neck and cut. Very sharp Thin!

Fact: Doug is a Filipino and he enjoys using that Filipino weapon

I'm from indonesia, its to big and the curve must be deeper for Keris, cmiiw

Amazing mandau

Pete is just so wholesome

🇮🇩🤝🇲🇾🤝🇵🇭🤝🇸🇬🤝🇧🇳 Nusantara

Best of all “he got the money but I got all the fun”...

Amazing keris

I am from Mindanao, we used panabas for cutting bushes, and very useful.

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)

17:08 what a humble guy

Such respect.
