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.
