Wing Chun Butterfly Swords: Recurve Hybrid Drop Point (Sifu Grade) - Sharp
This is Modell Design LLC's top pick from all its 2020 Wing Chun knife designs. These knives are a great balance of combat-grade, light weight and great aesthetics.
This particular recurve hybrid has an ergonomic handle with a taller vertical profile (width as opposed to handle thickness) at the index and pinky finger points than on antique butterfly swords. A number of our clients prefer this for greater comfort and feel it makes retention easier during heavy impacts. The rear of the handle slants down to deal with the bifurcated nature of the fatty areas of the palms. On a perfectly horizontal handle the rear of palm pushes down on the rear of the handle, forcing the tip up and/or additional strain on the wrist to pressure the blade back to horizontal.
