Medieval and European Swords
Hanwei - Tinker Great Sword of War
This sword is designed and crafted purely as a cutting sword and, weighing in at a little less than four pounds, it is built to excel on heavy targets.
Specs:
5160 Marquenched Spring Steel
Dismountable
Tinker Approved
Overall length: 121cm
Blade length: 91.1cm
Handle length: 27.9cm
Weight: 1.76kg
The 11” grip provides excellent leverage and static and dynamic balance are to Tinker’s demanding standards.
The blade is again forged in 5160 and marquenched to HRC50-52.
The hilt is retained by Tinker’s signature recessed sleeve mounting system, providing secure retention and easy hilt tightening, using the Allen wrench provided.
My Opinion
By far the best cutter under 165€ on the European Market,get one while they last.
Why?
I have a personal requirement when it comes to medieval swords, most I have or handled have not the thickness that I want, this one wights about 1.800 grams for a reason, this is my favorite medieval sword in Europe.

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 forms a natural extension of the double-hand grip and the square-section guard provides solid security.
