Hanwei Tinker
Norman Swords Sharpened
The Hanwei Tinker Series Norman swords have an overall length of 36 1/2", a blade length of 30 3/4" and a handle length of 5". Sword weighs in at about 2lb 5oz. 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.
Hanwei Tinker Viking Swords Sharp
The Hanwei Tinker 9th Century Viking Sword Sharp has an
overall length of 37.37" with a 30.87" 5160 marquenched spring steel blade.
While not a direct copy of any particular sword, the Tinker 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. However, as with the other swords in the series, replacement
blades are available. The breadth of the Sharp makes for an efficient
cutting profile.
Hanwei Tinker Early Medieval
Swords Sharp
The Hanwei Tinker Early Medieval Sword Sharp has an overall
length of 38.5" with a 31.75" 5160 marquenched spring steel blade. Tinker
Early Medieval Swords are single-hand Oakeshott Type XII pieces, with sharp
and blunt versions with identical handling characteristics. The sharp is
fullered for about two thirds of its length, with a flattened diamond
section out towards the tip. The cruciform hilt is attractive and
functional.
Hanwei Tinker Bastard Swords Sharp
The Hanwei Tinker Bastard Swords Sharp 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 is 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 sharp blade is produced in two slightly
different versions - this version is diamond-sectioned throughout its length
Wheel-type pommels are sized to provide a grip for the second hand when
required, and the straight tapering cross provides excellent hand
protection.
Hanwei Tinker Longswords Blunt
The Hanwei Tinker Longswords Blunt have an overall length of
47" with a 35" 5160 marquenched spring steel blade. Tinker Longswords
provide the WMA practitioner with a fast, well-balanced pair of swords that
will perform beautifully in skilled hands. The Blunt Trainer features nearly
identical handling to that of its sharp companion, but with thick edges and
a rounded tip for safe sparring practice.
Hanwei Tinker Longswords Sharp
The Hanwei Tinker Longswords Sharp have an overall length of
47" with a 35" 5160 marquenched spring steel blade. Our Tinker Longswords
provide the WMA practitioner with a fast, well-balanced pair of swords that
will perform beautifully in skilled hands. The demi-fullered sharp blades
exhibit a quick profile taper with a diamond section out to the tip,
providing the necessary stiffness for the cutting stroke. The flattened
scent-stopper pommel (Type T-1) forms a natural extension of the double-hand
grip and the square-section guard provides solid security.

The hilt is retained by Tinkers signature recessed sleeve mounting system, providing secure retention and easy hilt tightening, using the Allen wrench provided. Made by Hanwei.
