Layaway Information

Layaway Policies

We offer a layaway plan on select products so you may pay for your order over a period of 60 days. Products that are eligible for layaway will show "Layaway Available: Yes" on the product page.

Here's how it works:

The total amount of the order excluding shipping, tax, or fees is divided into three (3) equal payments. The first payment is due with the order, the second payment is due 30 days later, and the final payment is due 60 days after the order.

There is a $15 non-refundable fee for layaway orders. This fee is added to the first payment along with the shipping and any tax. The first payment is made when the order is placed.

Example: Your order total is $300 plus $12.75 shipping and handling. If you select the layaway option, your payments would be:

  • $127.75 (1/3 of purchase = $100 + $15 layaway fee + $12.75 shipping)
  • $100.00 (1/3 of purchase = $100)
  • $100.00 (1/3 of purchase = $100)

If your initial payment is made by credit card, we will automatically process the 2nd and 3rd payments at the appropriate time using the same credit card information. You will be reminded via email that a payment will be charged. If you need to change this for any reason, please contact us.

For payments made other than credit card, payment must be received within seven (7) days of the due date or the order is subject to cancellation. You will receive a reminder via email that a payment is due.

If you wish to complete payment early and have your order shipped, you may contact us at any time during the 60 day period. There is no penalty for prepayment.

Additional products may be added to a layaway order without penalty. A new payment schedule will be calculated based on when additional products are added.

If you wish to complete payment early and have your order shipped, you may contact us at any time during the 60 day period. There is no penalty for early payment.

Cancellations of layaway orders are subject to a restocking/processing fee of 10% of the order total (not including tax and shipping costs). This restocking fee is in addition to the $15 non-refundable layaway fee.

Overview

This is a custom pair of Nightmare Grind Wing Chun Butterfly Swords, designed by Jeffrey D. Modell who is, according to Wing Chun Illustrated magazine, "the premier designer of butterfly swords in the United States, and perhaps even the world - in fact, he has been credited with modernising the Wing Chun Butterfly Swords design."

The design was executed by Forge Master Ali of Iron Man Steel, the blacksmith who produced the Sasquatch Butterfly Swords.  The D guard was cast, and the blade completed via the stock removal method.  The parallel concave grinds on the cutting edge are a nightmare to grind and very challenging to do so superbly, as is the case here.  Each knife has a full tang with gorgeous cocobolo scales and red liners.  Each grip has 2 mosaic pins and 10 smaller pins.  The swords are expertly balanced and can be flipped between a forward and reverse grip.

These knives are deadly and intended for collectors or Wing Chun experts only. Comes with premium leather sheaths.  New from maker. Blade Steel: Bohler 440C Steel; HRC 58. D Guards of Cast AISI 304 Stainless Steel

About the Maker

Modell Design LLC

Master Jeffrey Modell began studying martial four decades ago. He is a 6th Degree Black Belt and Sensei in Isshinryu Karate, and author of both the first and second editions of the "Isshinryu Textbook." He practices Kung Fu and has been called the premier designer of Wing Chun Butterfly Swords in the U.S. and perhaps the world by Wing Chun Illustrated magazine. His martial arts design credits include the famous integral Wing Chun knives, the Wing Chun BJD hybrid blade-style, EWC's flagship full tang line, the Hung Gar/Shaolin Long Stabbers favored by Grandmaster William Cheung?s Wing Chun lineage, and the Sasquatch-style Butterfly Swords featured in Blade Magazine. He has a special interest in knives for law enforcement and military use. Most Modell Design LLC blades are made by hand by Khurram Ali at his family forge (K. Ali -- Knifemaker). Mr. Ali is the third generation of a family of knife makers. His grandfather was a master of making folders. To teach him the business, he apprenticed to his father starting at age 12. One day his dad told him to make a knife on his own. Khurram told his dad he was not sure he could do it. His dad hit his hand with a hammer and told him "never believe you cannot do so." He has been striving for excellence ever since and is now the Forge Master. He is one of only a few experts in working with the difficult AISI 304 stainless steel and the most experienced maker of custom Butterfly Swords in the world.

My butterfly swords have been in Blade Magazine (September 2013), Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine, and Wing Chun Illustrated. They are used by practitioners of Wing Chun, Kung Fu San Soo, Hung Gar and other Chinese martial arts, and a favorite of instructors, Masters and Grandmasters
