Our Jitte (SH2052) is now available for jittejutsu practitioner. Carried by the police in old Japan, the jitte was a versatile weapon that could be used to attack the neck and head of an opponent, but its primary use was a sword catcher and deflector. There are many stories of jittejutsu "masters" snapping katana blades or disarming their owners. The Jitte features a 10½" round-section steel rod and a leather wrapped grip with a finger-width blade trapper.

The Butterfly Swords (XH2067) are believed to have been developed by Shaolin monks as a concealable defensive Martial Arts weapon, used to disable rather than kill, which was prohibited by their code of conduct. The use of the butterfly swords has since been honed to a fine art by martial artists, particularly in Southern China, where precision and two-sword coordination are emphasized. Our Butterfly Swords set by Hanwei is a high-quality set featuring high-carbon tempered steel blades with traditional scroll patterning, leather wrapped drips and steel guards which are decorated in a dragon motif. This same motif is repeated on the fittings of the double scabbard. A wall wooden wall plaque is included for the display for this great Butterfly Swords set.

The Chinese Pudao (XH2072) originally an infantry weapon, has been adopted into a Martial Arts weapon and its use in the hands of a skilled practitioner is spectacular. Our Pudao is a Martial Arts weapon that once was and still is coveted by infantry of old and modern martial artists alike. The high-carbon tempered steel blade has aggressive distal taper to promote quickness and balance and a long tang for strength, while the oak staff is tightly tape wrapped in a traditional pattern to optimize handling and adds to the distinctive appearance, as does the dragon-head bronzed steel blood cup and bell tassel.

The Naginata, (1020-GT) famed weapon of the Sohei, or warrior monks, of medieval Japan was fearsome in the hands of skilled combatant and is today of great importance in the martial arts field. Our Naginata, while retaining its traditional qualities, has now been revised to better meet the needs of the martial arts practitioner.

Hand forged and edge tempered, using traditional methods, the Naginata blade is at least the equal of the originals. Mounted on a long tang to better absorb the shock of a blow, the blade has a strong distal taper for balance and quickness. The delicately engraved tsuba features a silver butterfly motif. The re-designed staff is now very strong, featuring a traditional finish for better control of the weapon in competition. The Naginata is supplied with a wooden saya, a protective cloth bag and a boxed maintenance kit.
