Tinker Bastard Sword - Sharpened More Fully, Razor Sharp

Enjoy Tinker Bastard Sword - Sharpened to a Higher Sharpness

Tinker Bastard Sword: Sharpened with a fuller
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) 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 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.
The hand-and-a-half swords (Oakeshott Type XVIII) are designed so that both the sharpened and blunt versions fit the hand equally. The swords feel and behave the same during both training and combat. The sharpened sword is also produced in two slightly different versions: it is available either with a blade with a continuous diamond-shaped cross-section (item number HN-SH2400) or in an (otherwise identical) version that measures approximately one-third of its length over the cleat (item number HN-SH2411). The rounded pommel is designed to double as a second-hand grip when needed, and the straight-line crossguard provides excellent hand protection.
The handle features a hardwood core secured with a leather-wrapped cord and fitted with steel fittings. A leather-wrapped sheath is included.
