Medieval Swords: Re-enactment designed Hanwei Practical Bastard Swords are 49 1/2" overall. These swords feature a 38" fullered, unsharpened 5160 high carbon steel blade with blunt tip (5160 high carbon steel is used to minimize burring). The handle is 11" and is wrapped in a dye-able tan leather, allowing for individual customization. The Practical Bastard Swords also offer a Dye-able tan all leather scabbard with metal fittings. Stainless hilt and pommel. Built for re-enactors. The weight is 3lb, 10 oz which may vary slightly per sword.
Medieval Swords: The Tinker Series Norman swords have an overall length of 36 5/16", a blade length of 30 11/16" and a handle length of 5". Sword weighs in at about 2lb 8oz. Norman Swords, with their distinctive cruciform guards and brazil-nut pommels, are similar in weight and static balance and offer virtually identical handling characteristics. Both are harmonically balanced to optimize cutting ability in the case of the sharp version and to provide authentic handling characteristics for the re-enactor. The blades are forged in 5160 high carbon steel and marquenched to HRC50-52, allowing superior edge retention on the sharp and anti-burr safety on the blunt. Grips are wood-cored and leather-covered over a cord wrap. Made by Hanwei.

The hilt is retained by Tinker"s signature recessed sleeve mounting system, providing secure retention and easy hilt tightening, using the Allen wrench provided. Made by Hanwei.
Medieval Swords:
Hanwei Tinker 9th Century Viking Sword Blunt has an
overall length of 37.5" with a 30.12" 5160 marquenched spring steel blade.
While not a direct copy of any particular sword, the Viking sword design was
inspired by historical examples from the early 9th Century, most notably
finds from the area around Trondheim, Norway, where the circular indentation
hilt decoration was popular. The scabbards are provided with suspension
points and a period chape, giving the sheathed sword a very attractive
appearance. The construction of the Viking "pair" differs from other swords
in the Tinker series inasmuch as they are tang-riveted (peened) in period
fashion at the pommel, primarily to satisfy Viking re-enactment
requirements, and the blunt blade design is very much directed towards
re-enactment rather than sparring. However, as with the other swords in the
series, replacement blades are available and Tinker is offering a
blade-replacement and re-peening service for users unable to undertake the
task themselves.

Hanwei Tinker 9th Century Viking Sword Sharp has an

length of 38" with a 31" 5160 marquenched spring steel blade. Tinker Early
Medieval Swords are single-hand Oakeshott Type XII pieces, again having

uses a broad, flat fuller to move mass towards the edges for safety while
retaining a very lively feel. The cruciform hilt is attractive and
functional.

Hanwei Tinker Bastard Swords Blunt Tip have an overall
length of 42.75" with a 33.37" 5160 marquenched spring steel blade. Our
Tinker Bastard swords are based on the Oakeshott Type XVIIIA and are
designed so that both the sharp and blunt versions will perform identically
in the hand, offering the possibility of sparring and cutting with swords
that feel and respond in exactly the same way. The blunt has a long, broad
fuller, to compensate for the edge thickness, and the tip is sufficiently
flexible to provide an adequate level of safety. Wheel-type pommels are
sized to provide a grip for the second hand when required, and the straight
tapering cross provides excellent hand protection.

They are not to be used in theatrical-style reenacting except where specifically named for that purpose and designed for that specific use.
