Tinker Bastard Sword with Combat Blade

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

In order 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-bath hardening (marquenching) results in an excellent combination of strength and flexibility with a Rockwell hardness of 50-52 HRC.
< br> This allows for greater edge strength with sharp blades, while with dull models burr formation is prevented and safety-related tip flexibility is ensured.

Replacement blades are available for each type of sword 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 you can use both the sharpened and dulled versions.

All longswords, bastard swords and early medieval broadswords feature Tinker's special mounting system with hex nuts, which allows for easy blade changes using an allen key and ensures the handle remains firmly attached.

Hand-and-a-half broadswords (Oakeshott type XVIII) are designed so that both the sharpened and blunted versions fit the hand equally. The swords feel and perform the same during both training and combat. On the blunt version, the point of the blade provides the flexibility needed for safety. The round-shaped pommel is designed to function as a second-hand grip when needed, and the straight-line crossguard provides excellent protection for the hand.

The handle has a cord-wrapped hardwood core, covered with leather and fitted with steel fittings. A leather-lined sheath is included.
