Sheath: You will get an embossed overseas-made heavy duty leather sheath for each knife, one with a left hand belt loop, the other right. Instead of snaps the retainer strip affixes to a prong. These are made of thick leather. Do not store swords in leather sheaths long term because the chemicals in leather can corrode/tarnish metal.
This is a pair of 2-in-1 Bowie style Butterfly Swords featuring 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 your choice of Böhler 440C or D2 weapons-grade 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.
These swords are serious weapons and consequently offered for sale as display swords only AND WE REALLY MEAN IT!
Each product consists of two knives, each with an upgraded heavy duty embossed leather sheath. We can also do a 2-in-1 sheath.
See the Limited Warranty/Legal section of this web-site prior to purchase! While these knives come with our standard warranty, we do not keep them in inventory because of the high cost of construction so they must be special ordered. That means if there is a warranty issue (hopefully not) you should expect a refund or accomodation rather than replacement.
