Peeps, sabi ng mga tindera sa palengke sa Urdaneta na ang mga bolo at itak daw ay ginagawa sa Calasiao. Do you know where specifically in Calasiao these metalsmiths are? I'd like to ask if they are willing to do custom knife designs.

sorry bro ngayon lang ako napadpad sa thread na 'to... don't even know if you still need the info, but just in case..

the area you're looking for is called barangay Pandayan, malapit lang sa bayan. if you see the central elementary school, nasa likod lang nito yun street that leads to this barangay.

ako taga manaoag kakauwe ko lang ng manila kagabi.. sarap ng byahe walang traffic

Pre, ok na ba yung urdaneta portion? Or meron lang ba window of time na walang traffic. In going to and from Baguio, what would be the best time to pass thru urdaneta so as to avoid the traffic there? Thanks in advance.

Kung southbound ka naman, huwag ka magpaabot sa Urdaneta from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at ganitong oras madalas may bottleneck sa tulay bago nung main intersection. Have a safe trip

Thanks for the info on the knifemakers. I'll try to look for that place sometime. However, I already found a good knifemaker in Pozorrubio. Here's a sample of his work:

mikey177, is that knifemaker the one who supposedly made the pieces in the "lord of the rings" movies?

[mikey177]

diesoline,

Nope, It's his brother-in-law. And I think it was the swords for Braveheart and King Arthurthat he made, not LOTR. Hindi na sya tumatanggap ng small local orders (mga 5 pieces lang kasi pinapagawa ko at a time) dahil booked sila palagi filling foreign orders, but he was kind enough to refer me to his bayaw, who has already completed 3 projects for me since last year. Happy naman ako sa work nya, as are some FMA practitioners/shooters who have seen his work and bought stuff through me.

Thanks a lot mga pare. It really pays when you have advance info.

[landlord]

Many thanks mga pre. This info will save me a lot of time and alot of init ng ulo in traffic. Tarlac na lang ang problema.
