Butterfly swords

Product information "Butterfly swords"

Butterfly swords from Cold Steel® - Legendary weapons for martial artists and collectors

Chinese butterfly swords, also known as butterfly knives, are among the most iconic short swords in Chinese martial arts. They are traditionally wielded in pairs, skilfully concealed by appearing to be a single sword when folded together. It is only when they are drawn that the true potential of these sophisticated weapons is revealed - they are separated in a flash and ready for use in both hands.

Compact, manoeuvrable and battle-tested

With this interpretation of the classic Chinese double swords, Cold Steel® has created a successful combination of tradition and modern manufacturing. The approx. 38 cm long blades made of 1060 carbon steel are robust, sharp and perfectly balanced. With a width of 6.7 cm and a solid blade thickness of 5 mm, they offer both cutting power and stability with high manoeuvrability.

Ergonomic design with D-shaped hand guard

The D-shaped handles, which are fitted with a forward-curved guard, are particularly striking. This not only protects the hand, but also makes it possible to effectively block or control enemy weapons - an indispensable feature in realistic combat situations. The handles made of fine hardwood ensure a firm grip and a traditional appearance.

Perfect for kung fu, wing chun and collectors

The butterfly swords are ideal for practitioners of Chinese martial arts, especially Wing Chun or Southern Kung-Fu. They are also a unique highlight for collectors of historical weapons. Whether in training, on the exhibition wall or in a show fight - this pair is convincing in every respect.

Blade care set with operating instructions Toshiro Swords
Product features: - Care set for swords and knives - Everything you need for blade care in one practical set - 5-piece set: special cloth for removing oil residue, Uchiko with blade powder, high-quality sword oil, cotton cloth for applying the oil, operating instructions in German and English - Supplied in a stylish, decorative box - High-quality ingredients for optimum care Product description: Every blade is susceptible to rust and should be maintained regularly to preserve its quality and appearance. Fingerprints, moisture and dirt can damage the material in the long term, so thorough blade care is essential. The art of sword care has been perfected in Japan over centuries to keep the legendary samurai swords in top condition. Based on this traditional knowledge, combined with modern elements, Toshiro Swords has developed the Samurai 2K sword care set. Thanks to high-quality materials and a proven formula, this set is not only suitable for swords, but also ideal for knife care. The set contains all the essential components for thorough cleaning and preservation of your blade: Special cloths for removing oil residue: four cloths made from natural cellulose replace the classic nuguigami paper and offer even more effective cleaning performance. Uchiko with blade powder: Traditionally obtained from limestone, the mixture has been refined with gentler components to protect the blade. It reliably removes old oil residue, dirt and incipient rust. Cotton cloth for applying maintenance oil: The reusable cloth made from certified organic cotton comes in a matching storage box. High-quality care oil: The blend of camellia oil and clove oil (Tsubaki & Choji Abura) has been supplemented with modern, pollutant-free ingredients. It effectively protects the blade without attacking copper or brass elements. It is also less resistant than penetrating oils so that excess oil does not remain permanently in the sheath. The set also includes detailed operating instructions in German and English with valuable safety instructions and care tips for proper use.
