Early Viking tinker sword with combat 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 the tip's safety-related flexibility.

Although not a direct copy of a specific sword, this Viking sword was based on historical models from the 9th century. Particularly in Trondheim, Norway, swords were found that showed a preference for circular depressions in the decoration of the hilts. The attachment points and an elegant headstock give the scabbard an attractive appearance. Viking swords differ from the other swords in the Tinker series in that the riveted tang and the blunt blade of the version are intended more for fighting than for training. Replacement blades are still available separately for experienced fencers to replace riveted blades, as is the case with all the other swords in this series. The handling of both versions of this sword (with a sharp or blunt blade) is almost identical.
