Early Medieval Tinker Sword With Sharp Blade

Gift Early Medieval Tinker Sword With Sharp Blade

Early medieval tinker's sword 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, each of the seven swords is available in sharpened and dull versions, all offering excellent handling. Careful heat treatment of the 5160 steel (Tinker's favorite) through 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 sharpened blades, while preventing burr formation on dull models and ensuring safety-related tip flexibility.
Replacement blades are available for every 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 spare blade, allowing you to use both sharpened and dull versions. All longswords, bastard swords, and early medieval swords feature Tinker's special hex nut mounting system, which allows easy blade changes with an Allen key and ensures the handle remains securely attached.
Early medieval swords (Oakeshott type x11) are available in both sharp and blunt versions. Both are identical in handling.
The sharp sword features a groove extending over approximately one-third of the blade, with a diamond-shaped cross-section that flattens toward the tip. The blunt version features a wide, shallow groove to shift the weight toward the edges. This means the blade offers safety without impairing the sense of touch. The cross-shaped handle is both attractive and functional. A leather-wrapped sheath is included.
