Butterfly Swords - New Copy of Ancient Sword style - Made in China

Blades measure 14" long with overall size at 20"

The butterfly sword is a short dao, or single-edged sword, originally from southern
China, though it has also seen use in the north. It is thought that butterfly swords date
from the early 19th century. Several English language accounts from the 1840s
describe local militia in Guangdong being trained in the "double swords", short
swords with a hook extending from the guard, and fitting into a single scabbard.

The blade of a butterfly sword is roughly as long as a human forearm, which allows
easy concealment inside loose sleeves or boots,[citation needed] and allows greater
maneuverability when spinning and rotating during close-quarters fighting.
Butterfly swords are usually wielded in pairs. A pair of swords will often be carried
side by side within the same scabbard, so as to give the appearance of a single
weapon.

These 2 Swords are in very good conditrion with no damage.

Comes in Leather sheath - Brass handle and sharp blades.
