Bot Chum Do

Wai Jia: The Kung Fu Forum Wing Chun

I have been looking all over the web for a real set of bot chum do, and with no luck. I have seen Wing Lam’s set but they are not true bot chum do as well as other sites that claim to sell them, but once again they are not true bot chum do. Can anyone guide me somewhere that has them? I am looking for a quality pair. :wink:

I don’t know if the swords on this site will fit your criteria

I’m not sure what a “true” WCK knife would look like, as slightly different versions are used by different lineages. Even in the Yip Man lineage you have the slightly more tapered “stabber” used by early students and the slightly more heavy-headed “chopper” used by some mid/late students. I’ve never seen Wing Lam’s knives in person but they look closer to the “stabbers”, as are the ones sold by Kuen Way in Vancouver (run by Leung Ting’s sister). There’s a place in Rochester, NY that I’ve heard makes very good “choppers” but the name escapes me (I think KJ posted the link here in the past). Some who dislike all the commerically available knives make their own, so you may want to check within your lineage to see if there may be something like that available.

WOw, those sure are purdy! (and reasonably priced too! I have seen garbage going for $600)
