Butterfly Swords (rattan)
|
|||||||||||
|
Butterfly Swords (or Eight-Cutting 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 CAS/Hanwei Butterfly Swords Sets feature high-carbon tempered steel blades with traditional dragon engraving. The HA2293 set features rattan wrapped grips and solid brass guards decorated in a Lotus Flower scroll pattern, repeated on the fittings of the double scabbard, which is encased in exquisitely woven rattan. KEY FEATURES: * Authentic Design * Genuine Rattan Wrapping * High-Carbon Blade MEASUREMENTS: BLADE LENGTH: 10" HANDLE LENGTH: 4 1/2" OVERALL LENGTH: 14 3/4" WEIGHT: 1lb THICKNESS: .235 |
