Butterfly Swords are believed to have been developed by Shaolin monks as a concealable defensive weapon, used to disable rather than kill, which was prohibited by the monk’s code of conduct. The use of butterfly swords has since been honed to a fine art by martial artists, particularly the Wing Chun & Hung Gar styles of Southern China, where precision and two-sword coordination are emphasized.
The Paul Chen / Hanwei Butterfly Sword Set is a high-quality set featuring sharpened, high-carbon, tempered steel blades with traditional dragon scroll patterning, leather wrapped grips and blackened steel guards decorated in a dragon motif. This same motif is repeated on the fittings of the deep red, lacquered wood, double scabbard. A wood wall plaque is included for display of the swords. Overall Length: 16 1/2'' Blade: 11 1/2'' Weight: 14 oz each Retail Price: $119.95 |
