Chinese swords - masterpieces of Far Eastern blacksmithing

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.
