The Lineage
Kadys Bows was founded in 2011 by Sergey Tolochko in Ukraine. For Sergey, bow making is a dialogue between historical tradition and modern craftsmanship.[cite: 1]
The Kadys Aspid-5 reflects the powerful simplicity and efficiency that defined the bows of traditional archers across centuries. Each bow is built with careful attention to balance, performance and durability.[cite: 1]
Rather than creating decorative objects, Sergey focuses on bows that are meant to be used — instruments that connect the archer with centuries of martial tradition.[cite: 1]
A bow built by hand carries the intention of the craftsman in every layer of wood.[cite: 1]
