OVERVIEW

This is a well-balanced sword with a semi-fullered sharp blade, providing the necessary stiffness for the cutting stroke. Based on the Oakeshott Type XVIIIa with a scent stopper pommel.

Sean Hayes, the Maestro d`armi of the Northwest Fencing Academy at the University of Oregon had this to say about the Hanwei/Tinker Longsword: "I had the opportunity to handle the prototype Tinker Pearce Line Longswords by CAS/Hanwei, and they are beautiful, well-balanced, quick-handling swords at an excellent price. The sharp and blunt versions handle almost identically in cuts, thrusts, and quick posta (guard) transitions. These promise to be the mid-priced training weapon of choice for longsword studies."

Nice value for the price
The blade can  greatly benefit from a resharpening job. Balance is nice. Construction of the hilt is decent.

Great Value
This is a fantastic sword!  It is plainly adorned, but very strong.  The edge is sharp and made to be used.  The balance is excellent and it is very nimble for such a large blade.  Great thrusting profile and wicked cutter.  It also looks great hung on the wall.

Excellent sword
Great sword for the price.  Just getting into sword collecting, and this is one of the first real swords I have bought.  Been picking it up everyday since I bought it  Even done some real hitting practice with it, and the blade is holding up nicely.  One negative, which I knew before buying was the sharpness.  It states sharp Longsword, but it could be a little bit more sharper.  Overall -  love it.
