Leung Tim Choppers Factory
Leung Tim Choppers Factory has been here for three
generations, and is now managed by Leung Tim’s son,
Leung Hung. The proudest item it has ever made is the
“Wing Chun Eight-Chopping Knife”.
The factory has an
enduring relationship with the Wing Chun martial arts
school, ever since the great master Yip Man came to
Sham Shui Po to set up a gym. Leung Hung said, “In
those days, martial arts gyms would ask my grandfather
to make Wing Chun Eight-Chopping Knives, and
we are still making them”.
Until now, Wing Chun gyms
throughout Hong Kong, and also those abroad, are asking
them to make knives. While speaking, Leung Hung
took out an Eight-Chopping Knife from the cabinet, and
brandished several elegant strokes with it, fully demonstrating
how a knife-maker loves knives.
