Hanwei - Tinker Bastard Sword - Sharp
Michael Tinker Pearce has designed a range of Hanwei swords made of 5160 steel that combine authenticity, functionality and performance.
To meet the different demands of Western martial artists, there is a sharp and a blunt version of each of the seven swords, all of which offer excellent handling. The careful heat treatment of 5160 steel (preferred by Tinker) by hot bath hardening (English: marquenching) results in an excellent interaction of strength and flexibility with a Rockwell hardness of 50-52 HRC. This allows greater edge strength with sharp blades, while blunt models prevent burr formation and ensure flexibility related to tip safety.
Spare blades are available for every 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 interchangeable. This gives you the opportunity to purchase a full sword plus a spare blade so you can use the sharp, blunt version. All long swords, bastard swords, and early medieval swords have Tinker’s special assembly system with hex nuts, which allows you to easily change the blade with an Allen wrench and ensures that the handle remains well held.
The hand and half swords (Oakeshott Type XVIIIA) are constructed in such a way that the sharp and blunt versions are equally in the hand. Swords feel the same and behave identically both during training and in fighting.
The sharpened sword is also produced in two slightly different versions.
The rounded knob is designed so that it can serve as a handle for the second hand if needed, and the straight cross protection provides excellent protection for the hand. The handle has a hardwood core, which is wrapped with lace, wrapped in leather and provided with steel fittings. A leather-covered pod is included.
