These
Wing Chun wooden training knives are made of high quality
marine grade ply, cut shaped and sanded by hand, they have a
durable oil finish which is easily maintained. The handles
are shaped so that they fit comfortably in the hands
allowing complete control over the 13" (330mm) long blades.
I can also provide them with a shorter blade length if
required.
These have a full handle design but can be made with a half
handle if required.
The
knife form is the last weapons form in the wing chun system
and is taught to advanced students. It comprises of eight
sections and helps develop stance footwork and also wrist
strength.
They
can be purchased direct from DT Woodturning and delivery is
available throughout UK
Frequently asked
questions
Q. Why do I need wooden knives?
A. Using wooden knives allows them to be
used in the same room as the other students without the risk
of someone coming into contact with a heavy steel blade.
In the early stages of training the knife form the
practitioner is at risk from injuring themselves from a
heavy steel pair.
If you are using them to practice blocking techniques on the
pole or other wooden knives this limits the damage to the
equipment.
The fact that they are lighter than a metal pair allows
you to train the form for a much longer period of time before
tiring.
Q. Why do you
use plywood ?
A. I use plywood because it is a multi
layer construction using high strength glue the marine
quality ply is the best material for the job and dose not
contain any voids between the lamination's. This makes it
stronger than your normal run of the mill ply. The
disadvantage is that it is very expensive.
Q. Do your
knives have splinters?
A. No they are smooth sanded by hand and
then oiled the marine ply gives a smooth handle and a strong
edge to the blade.
Q. Can you make them in a solid timber?
A. Yes I could make them in a solid timber,
but would only consider them to be for decoration and form
work and not to be used against the pole or other wooden
knives.
Q. Can I use the Qullion (Thumb Guard) to
trap the pole?
A. No the Quilion of the wooden knife is
only designed to be used to rotate the knife around the
thumb and will not stand up to trapping the pole or any
other weapon.
Q. Have you tested these knives?
A. Yes pairs of these knives have been in
constant use by myself and other wing chun practitioners for
over 16 years without any problems.
Q. If I have a set of wooden knives does
that mean that I won't need a metal pair?
A. No you will always need a heavier metal
pair if you wish to develop stamina, arm shoulder and wrist
strength and generally have a good work out from the form.
Or you may carry out blocking techniques
which warrant the use of the Quillion for trapping and only
metal knives will allow this.
Q. Do you sell metal knives?
A. I am sorry but No. All the goods that I
sell are made by me, I like it that way as I have full
control over the quality of the items that I can provide
Q. Do you teach the
knife form.
A. Yes I teach Ip
Ching Lineage form, but only to students who have progressed
through the complete system.
If you have any questions feel
