Tinker longsword with sharp blade

Michael 'Tinker' Pearce has designed a range of Hanwei swords made from 5160 steel that combine authenticity, functionality and performance.

To meet the varying demands of Western martial artists, there is both a sharp and a dull version of each of the seven swords, all of which offer excellent handling. Careful heat treatment of the 5160 steel (preferred by Tinker) by hot-dip hardening (marquenching) results in an excellent combination of strength and flexibility with a Rockwell hardness of 50-52 HRC. This allows for increased edge strength on sharp blades, whilst preventing burr formation on dull models and ensuring safety-related tip flexibility.

Replacement blades are available for each sword type in this series, with the exception of the Early Viking Sword. A key feature of Tinker’s designs is that the blades are replaceable. This gives you the opportunity to purchase a complete sword plus a replacement blade so that you can use both the sharpened and dulled versions. All longswords, bastard swords and early medieval swords feature Tinker’s special mounting system with hex nuts, which allows for easy blade changes with an allen key and ensures that the handle remains firmly attached.

With the Tinker longswords (Oakeshott type XVIII), the WMA ( Western martial arts ) adept has a fast, balanced pair of swords that can be used wonderfully in trained hands. The sharpened blade has a groove. With a diamond-shaped cross-section, it tapers towards the tip and thus ensures the necessary bending rigidity even during cutting impacts. The flattened heel pommel (type T-1) forms a natural extension of the two-handed grip and the sturdy square cross-guard (type 2) provides the necessary safety. The handle has a cord-wrapped hardwood core, covered with leather and fitted with steel fittings. A leather-covered scabbard is included.
