Fido D2 Butterfly Swords Sifu Grade (Sifu's Series)
We have a pair of Sifu Grade Fido Choppers, with a compound French curve hollow grind and flat grind finishing with a strong tree chopper "V" shaped grind at the cutting edge. Strictly speaking these are not blunts but as a general matter you need to apply pressure for them to cut as opposed to a guarantee of cutting your finger with a light touch sharp. They come in a combat matt finish 8 mm thick Bohler D2 weapons-grade tool steel. The blade is a drop point style with a guppy belly intended to be "Far Out Stuff" cool. EWC views them as a more Wing Chun lineage variation on the Sasquatch theme since the spine is flat for folks who find a long swage unhelpful. These swords are real weapons and very dangerous.
Why should you buy swords named Fido? Blame the name on Modell Design, it just struck them that this blade would sink its teeth into something. Seriously, 8 mm D2 is a lot of steel to make into a sword, and this is custom quality steel.
