Butterfly swords are short, paired blades that originated in southern China and are most commonly associated with the martial art of Wing Chun. Designed for close-quarters combat, their compact size allows for quick, agile movements and easy concealment. Traditionally wielded in pairs, the swords are often stored side by side in a single scabbard, giving the appearance of one weapon when carried.

A defining feature of butterfly swords is their distinctive crossguard, which protects the wielder’s hands and can be used to trap, block, or hook an opponent’s weapon. Some designs incorporate an extended guard that allows for alternative gripping positions, increasing versatility in combat. Practical, efficient, and deeply rooted in southern Chinese martial traditions, butterfly swords remain an enduring symbol of close-range martial skill and precision.
