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.
Forge Master K. Ali
I am a professional Black Smith, world-renowned Sword Maker and third-generation knife maker. Knife-making is my passion. I always try to be creative, combining function with art. I have been making high-quality butterfly swords since 2010, both traditional and modern designs. 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
