Everything Wing Chun Custom Swords - Your Own Baat Jaam Dao Design
This service is for those that want custom made swords that are not made from our stock D-Guards or blade shapes - or are completely custom and new.
Generally the cost is: $400 paid to Modell Deign, LLC for working with you to refine and customize your specs and provide a blueprint to the forge. And approx $900 to go towards the first model of your sword shipped to your door (excluding tax/border fees/VAT). (This cost varies depending on the materials and specs).
We don't show a lot of the custom work here, but most of the "Sifu and Lineage" designs and the "Collectors" designs on the side came from this custom-made program.
NOTE ON RENDERS: The renders of custom swords presented here are "rough drafts": the dimensions will be tailored to each individual and D Guards and handles will be shaped appropriately.
Tired of getting poorly made BJD that are dangerous to use (loose blades, handles falling apart, or etc?) Tired of having to "make due" with a butterfly sword that is not to the correct specs for your lineage? We are too!
In 2010 we started making our own line of BJD to bring high-quality workmanship to the market for the first time. While doing our research we cataloged over 30 unique styles of BJD used in the Yip Man lineage. This is not surprising since BJD are supposed to be made to fit each individual's size and fighting style. If one of our outstanding EWC brand offerings does not meet your precise needs, please consider our Custom Shop service to turn your vision into an affordable reality.
The EWC Custom Shop provides you with five things you may not realize are important:
- EWC's expertise designing and sourcing high-quality BJD for a variety of styles, including affordable consultation by the prestigious US-based Modell Design LLC (if needed, fees apply);
- Access to our experienced forge. The forge is a family business with expertise making the highest quality BJD we have ever offered for sale, including integral knives, full tang, hidden tang and special projects BJD.
- The ability to do very small runs (a lot of Chinese/Asian sword factories will demand minimum orders of hundreds of pairs);
- Your choice of materials; (prices include Micarta(TM) or G10 handle scales. Other materials may be an upgrade charge as handle scales can get expensive fast for exotic materials. Steels are D2 or 440C. Damascus or higher-end steels cost more.)
- The ability to do business at overseas forge prices without the risk of losing your money to an unqualified or unscrupulous actor;
- Use of our proven EWC brand D-Guards and blade styles to help keep costs down (and we have put a lot of budget into research and development over EWC's history).
- High-End swords at affordable prices. Many people see $400-$800 swords on our site and think they are expensive. They are actually dirt-cheap for their quality and craftsmanship. We keep a low markup on swords for martial artists because we (as martial artists) know how hard it is to find good swords... and we have searched high and low for the best forge to balance quality and cost. Our second best forge costs $1400-1600 a pair - that is COST. So - $900 for a pair of custom swords is a steal.
