Hi everyone... I thought this would be the best place to ask. I recently had the privilege of witnessing an axe with a wooden handle that is flexible. It is not rattan. But it is really 'springy'. Is this something common among some designs of axe handles? pardon my ignorance but I am really...

Based on archeological findings, the Semelais have lived around Lake Bera for over 600 years. The largest natural freshwater lake in Malaysia, Lake Bera is a mystical and enchanting place to experience. The place has captured my heart and my other half since the first time we visited it...

Hi everyone... I have done a few wooden handles for knives and parang blades in the past (some terribly horrific looking), so I decided to give it another go. Was in Sarawak recently and manage to land myself a Iban styled Candong. Forged by a 3rd generation bladesmith. I manage to witness...

Hi everyone. Not sure if I am posting this at the right place. Would just to share my latest project. Got the blade from a blade smith in Sarawak. I liked the shape and weight, so decided to give it a go. The maker was making 4 pieces, an order he says was made by an Iban. I paid him and left...

Hi all...I stumbled on this incredible video on youtube. The title is 'Kenyah mudik'. Kenyah is the tribe and 'mudik' means going upstream. I think it is really an amazing video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqDci_aHRPE

I have always been intrigued by how blow pipes are made. Though there are several types of blowpipes (some made of bamboo), this video I stumbled upon on youtube really made my day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xwkPKLO11E Enjoy!

Hi everyone, A month ago, I visited this village in Sarawak called Semban. It is very near to Kuching. A 5 and half hour trek up to the Bidayuh highlands. There are several villages along the trail and most of the lower villages will be submerged in water once a dam (in construction) is...

Hi everyone...I am discovering this new interest in river trekking. I recently visited a river (not really big- about 5 meters across) with rocks and rapids and really enjoyed walking on it. I know the dangers of rivers (flash floods, twisted ankles etc) but I was wondering if there is a...

I have the pleasure of meeting up with a local Malaysian knife enthusiast (Stan) recently. He brought PART of his collection along and we went to a nearby secondary jungle to try some of the blades out. Here are the 'bigger' blades. My personal blades are no 2 & 3 from left. The...

Hi everyone! Thought I'd share some pics of a paddling trip I did a few weeks back with a mate, Nadir. Nadir is here some where on BCUK but not sure what's his username. 5 days 4 nights, the two of us paddled the Ulu Muda dam, located in the state of Kedah, Peninsula Malaysia. A man-made...

Ah-ha! I manage to dig up this old Mora I bought back in my university years. From a flea market, (probably stolen) for less than RM10. Never thought much of it until I started using and learning to appreciate a good Mora. Phew...thank God I manage to find it. Any tips of how to make...

Stumbled upon this video on youtube about 'Replica' Moras. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq3OU7lTYF4 Noooooo!

Hi everyone... This is my first attempt at making a handle for a blade. The blade was given to me by an Iban friend from Sarawak. I had a piece of guava wood, so decided to try my hands at making it's handle. What I started with: Using an electric drill and some epoxy, I got...
