CAS Hanwei Butterfly Swords (Rattan) 
Butterfly Swords (or Eight-Cutting Swords) are believed to have been
developed by Shaolin monks as a concealable defensive weapon, used to
disable rather than kill, which was prohibited by the monk's code of
conduct. The use of butterfly swords has since been honed to a fine art by
martial artists, particularly the Wing Chun & Hung Gar styles of Southern
China, where precision and two-sword coordination are emphasized. The CAS
Hanwei Butterfly Swords Set features rattan wrapped grips and solid brass
guards decorated in a Lotus Flower scroll pattern, repeated on the fittings
of the double scabbard, which is encased in exquisitely woven rattan.
