Butterfly Swords 蝴蝶刀

The Butterfly Knives, or ‘Woo Deep Dao’, are a distinctive weapon of Southern China. The term ‘Butterfly’ is used because the weapons, when held together, resemble the wings of that insect. Usually employed in pairs, they consist of two broad blades, the length of each should extend down the forearm and over the elbow. It is because of this that the weapons are also known as ‘cover the elbow’ blades. They are often described in English as Butterfly Swords, but, as they only have one sharp edge, they are referred to as ‘Knives’ in Chinese.

  • WEAPONS – Twin Short Broadswords (called bao jaam dao ie “cover the elbow knives”)
