Wing Chun Butterfly Knives are not just for Wing Chun but also for Hung Gar, Choy Li Fut and Praying Mantis Kung Fu. Most commonly used in pairs.
Wing Chun Butterfly Knives are mostly attributed with southern Kung Fu styles but have been found throughout Chine Kung Fu. Even though they are called Wing Chun Butterfly Knives, other Kung Fu styles use them such as Hung Gar Kung Fu, Choy Li Fut and Praying Mantis Kung Fu. In China they are actually called Wing Chun Butterfly Swords and that is how it is written too but most peopel in the west call them Butterfly Knives so that's what we are calling them too. However, Wing Chun Butterfly Swords is the correct name for them. They are not to be confused with the Balisong Knife, which is also commonly called a Butterfly Knife.
Traditionally every pair of Wing Chun Butterfly Knives would be made to measure for the individual practitioner, depending on Kung Fu style, Kung Fu school, ability, size, etc would all effect the shape, size and design of the weapon. However, custom made Wing Chun Butterfly Knives are nowadays very expensive and almost impossibel to find someone that will make them. Off the Shelf Wing Chun Butterfly Knives, such as these ones, are perfectly fine for most Wing Chun practitioners out there, and only the top top level masters who have money to spend might want or need to venture in to the world of custom Wing Chun Butterfly Knives.
Unless you have a skilled blacksmith to hand, knowledgeable in Wing Chun Butterfly Knives, you’ll probably have to make do with a modern standard pair like these. The blades are dull for practice and would often only be sharpened for the second half of the blade so when used for blocking it won’t break the edge. The guard extends around the hand, so can be used for blocking, striking and protecting the hand. This also extends over the blades into, what in English is called, a quilion. This can be used to spin the knives around your hand into a reverse position as well as trapping attacking weapons and disarming. These Wing Chun Knives come as a pair and are made from an unsharpened rigid steel which has then been chromed for the silver effect. The handles are wrapped with a artificial rubber grip.
“Most Wing Chun schools these days will teach Wing Chun Butterfly Knives to some extent. They are a great training tool and the lessons learnt with them throughout your entire practice.”
