Nightmare-Pro Grind Wing Chun Butterfly Swords (Sifu's Series)
These "Nightmare-Pro" swords were designed by Modell Design LLC exclusively for EverythingWingChun.com. They are a very limited collector's edition Butterfly Sword featuring multiple grinds on the cutting edge. The two grinds here are a lenticular/convex grind near the tip side-by-side with a hollow/concave grind over the bulk of the cutting edge. The lenticular grind provides more steel to reinforce the tip for stabbing techniques. The handle scales are forge-local sourced paper phenolic (Micartaé is a brand of phenolic) instead of wood for improved environmental resistance and durability. Paper phenolic feels great in the naked hand but can be slippery when held with gloves made of certain materials. While all handle scales are brown, they vary in shade/tint and inclusion of wood-grain like striations so you might get a relatively light plainer brown on one side and a darker more striated brown on the outside scale (look at the handles in the photos). This does not impact feel or function. The workmanship, fit and finish on this professional martial arts version is otherwise just as good as that of our Cocobolo handled concave/concave grind Nightmare Grind Collector's series swords. These high-quality collectors swords are real weapons and very dangerous.
