Prior to World War II, the Butterfly Sword was virtually unknown
outside of southern China. This changed at the close of the 1940’s,
when the Communists took control of mainland China, forcing many
Kung Fu masters to flee the oppressive regime and establish new
schools elsewhere. Currently, due to the spread of Kung Fu, these
once obscure swords have become quite popular.
Typically, Butterfly
Swords come in pairs that are cleverly nested together so they appear
to be one sword not two. When they are drawn, they can be quickly
separated and wielded in both hands to make wickedly effective chops,
slashes and thrusts. Our battle worthy blades are 15" long
and 25/8" wide.
The handsome
slip-proof grip features carefully selected hardwood covered with
attractively braided cord. The “D” shaped guard has a
long forward quillion, so it can both deflect and trap various opposing
weapons.
