Fido D2 Butterfly Swords Collector Grade (Collector's Series)
We made three Masters "Fido" FOS Chopper. One a Damascus blunt, two in D2 with a gorgeous matte combat finish. This item is a Sifu Grade pair of fully functional Masters of Modell Design LLC's new "Fido" chopper in combat matte finish 10 mm thick Damascus weapons-grade steel. The blade is a drop point style with a guppy belly. Edge is a blunt 3mm perfect for hard training. The tang has an outside layer of stainless steel on the exposed edges so your hand does not touch the carbon steel.
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, 10 mm Damascus is a lot of steel to make into a sword, and this is custom quality Damascus steel.
For those of you with chopper lineages, although the balance point measures out as normal somehow these just feel more like a chopper with weight biased further down the blade. For those of you who do not want a chopper, we recommend you pass on these because of that feel.
