“What’s the story behind your name and logo? Do you sell swords?”
The name “Alpha Omega Sword” has a lot of meaning to the company. At its most straightforward, the sword is one of the longest-standing symbols of a warrior in recorded human history. As depicted in the AO Sword logo, it is downturned, symbolizing a warrior who is at peace, but prepared for battle. The firearm is the modern warrior’s “sword,” and that is what we supply here at AO Sword.
It holds a deeper meaning for those who look beyond the surface. The sword depicted at rest also forms a cross, reflecting the Christian faith of founder David Chong and his family. When he embarked upon this adventure of creating a high quality/high value firearms retail store, custom gun manufacturer, and full service gunsmithing business, he committed to honoring God through that business.
Thus, the “Alpha Omega,” which is one way God is described – the beginning and the end – is foremost in the name of the company. For those who are more secular minded, the “beginning and the end” has also been metaphorically used to describe the end of civilization. Some firearms enthusiasts are strongly committed to being prepared for such a dire turn of events, and thus they too enjoy the name for different reasons.
Lastly, the Sword is a representation of Jesus Christ Himself – the “Sword of the Spirit” – which is the Word of God. Throughout the Bible, Jesus is referred to as the Word of God, giving rise to this fascinating metaphor. For those who believe in the Word of God, no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
