Randall Sasquatch-Style Wing Chun Butterfly Swords (Collector's Series) (a.k.a. Wing Chun Butterfly Knives, Bart Jarm Do, Bot Jaam Dao, Hudiedao) These swords are the same as the Collector's series, but have some (very) minor cosmetic flaws that take them from being Grade AAA to only AA (or what we call "Sifu Grade). This is something many people would not even notice, but knife collectors might. This is the only Sasquatch offered in the past 4 years, and likely to be the last.
Note this model has the 8 pins in the handles and not the 2 extra mosaic pins. It is the exact handle in the second picture. These swords are a very limited collector's edition Butterfly Sword featuring the Sasquatch re-curve blade designed by Randall Dealer Doug Kenefick (and adapted to the swords by Jeffrey Modell) in a unique high-gloss D2 steel. These high-quality collectors swords are real weapons and very dangerous. This model has 8 handle pins.

Sheath: You will get simple left and right black leather sheaths made overseas by a third party. IMPORTANT: Some of the leather sheathes have a metal rivet on the inside that can scratch the blades. The sheath maker considers the exposed shiny rivet head normal construction. We don't. The fix is to put a piece of Gorilla Tape over the rivet - please do this.
Shipping: These swords are drop shipped by Modell Design, they are not shipped by Everything Wing Chun. International shipments will use USPS Express Mail, or GXG, which is FedEx and the Post Office together (It is faster and safer). Domestic shipments use USPS Priority.
