DESCRIPTION:
Product is a pair of custom designed Butterfly Swords, made by hand. All measurements and weights approximate.
Here are a few things that make these weapons superior to a lot of your purchase alternatives:
*Excellent value/price ratio
*The D Guard is solidly affixed to the tang (we really care).
*Weapons-grade D2 tool steel, imported from Germany on these custom swords.
*Our knives are professionally heat treated because we understand that one of the major knife industry problems is manufacturers doing a lousy heat treatment to save costs. A great blade steel without a good heat treatment is swill. These knives are approximately HRC 58.
*Wide hollow grind. Tough to do (especially on D2!) but looks great, a feature frequently requested on expensive full custom butterfly swords.
*Excellent traditional point of balance (NOT a forward point of balance for lineages that prefer machete style)
*Comfortable full handle yet still able to fit two swords in one sheath
*Ergonomic handle
*Humidity resistant handle material (a laminated resin/glue treated wood product that still expands and contracts, but not as much as cheap Chinese sword wood)
*Total weight is light for a weapons-grade Butterfly Sword
* Excellent balance plus light weight = fast knives.
We do not make any swords for weapon vs. weapon training or cutting exercises. These are especially unsuitable due to the hollow grind.
