Ryujin 15″ T10 Real Water Tamper Wing Chun Dao w/ Leather Sheath

Most famous among Wing Chun practitioners, but also used by several other Southern Chinese styles of Gongfu such as Choy Li Fut, Hung Gar, and White Crane, these fast and powerful chopping shortswords are  incredibly effective in the hands of a skilled practitioner. Each style employs them differently, but the basic principle remains.

The origin of these exotic swords is difficult to pinpoint, but most scholars trace them back to the 18th century, with increased prevalence from the 19th century onward1.

The blades of these swords are among the best of any Butterfly Swords on the market. They are differentially hardened with a clearly defined temper line. Weighing 1.8 lbs with a point of balance just over an inch from the handle, they are both fast and forceful. Additionally, the blade features a very keen edge and a false edge for deep thrusting, making it incredibly versatile. Truly amazing value.
