Urasuki Bowie Wing Chun Butterfly Swords
This is the third pair of three pair made to date. They are far and in-between so if you want a pair this year act decisively.
The last pair for sale is not the one in the picture, but very similar. We are not sure what the handles are made of on this pair. The records for it were lost, but it is a brown wood or Phenolic. We reduced the price for this reason.
These 2-in-1 Bowie style Butterfly Swords feature a lenticular/convex grind on the outside and a chisel grind with Urasuki (a concavity) on the inside. This combination of grinds, done well as is the case here, are extraordinarily challenging. The plunge line curves gracefully to the choil and the spine features two scallops. The blade steel is Bohler 440C weapons-grade stainless steel (the same kind of steel sold by knife supply houses to U.S. custom knife makers). They were designed by Jeffrey D. Modell of Modell Design LLC (using the Tomb Warrior D-Guard Modell Design created for Everything Wing Chun) and made by Forgemaster K. Ali of Ironman Steel. Each blade has his personal logo.
