More Information:
These Wing Chun Butterfly Swords have a blade in the "Chopper" or "Bellied Chopper" style.
The Bellied Chopper is mainly used for hacking and slashing techniques.
It makes the chops very powerful and a real weapon can can cleave
through bone. Choppers sacrifice the ability to stab as effectively. Our
chopper resulted from our careful study of the best features of the
blades on Ip Man's actual swords and other famous Sifus, added to
world-class experience.
We will typically refer to the "Bellied Chopper" as simply the "Chopper"
style, although technically the 2 are different. Many swords you see
today have a fat rectangular blade with no belly. (The belly is the part
that widens out near the tip). We have not found any historical blades
that are made like this, and believe it is most likely a modern
invention used to make cheap swords. You typically see these swords
used in Southern Shaolin styles of KungFu; but we mention them here
because many Wing Chun people end up with these swords due to their
availability. Very few people actually prefer or request them, and for
this reason when we typically refer to the "Choppers" we are thinking of
only the Wing Chun version - the bellied chopper.
The Domination Line of swords was made based on the
survey of over 160 Sifus in June 2014. These
swords are true combat-grade weapons. These feature full exposed tangs,
cord wrapped handles, powerful squared D-Guards based on historical models, perfect balance,
straight handles, flipping and trapping ability, top grade weapon
steels, and a variety of blade options. These swords are combat-weight
and not for the weak or timid. If you need a sword to Dominate your foe,
then this is the choice for you. Only a limited number of each model
will be made.
