Review of: Hanwei/ Tinker Sharp Longsword
the blade can greatly benefit from a resharpening job. Balance is nice. Construction of the hilt is decent.

Review of: Claymore by Paul Chen / Hanwei
I got the ''antiqued version'' of this sword. So basicly the same sword with different colors.
It look really nice. It's big, it's tough, and it's well made enough for me to do some stupid things with it that would damage and detract from other swords. If you're looking for a sword that's on the graceful side you can do more advanced HEMA techniques with, I wouldn't advise this one. But if you just want something that makes you feel like a total badass and can smash into things as well as you can cut them, or a fun project sword to customize? I can definitely recommend a Hanwei Claymore! Impressive as well

Review of: Hanwei/ Tinker Sharp Longsword
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.

Review of: Claymore by Paul Chen / Hanwei
My hopes weren't TOO high at this price point, but I was very impressed. The sword is very well put together with good attention to detail. This is a heavy claymore that's quite front heavy, so go easy. This is a brutal weapon, not one of finesse, in spite of it's quite attractive looks.

Review of: Claymore by Paul Chen / Hanwei
An excellent weapon. At first I was daunted that there were no reviews but upon further research I found nothing but positive reviews. The blade is surprisingly thick and from what I have seen can take quite the beating. It is just flexible enough not to break, but if you don’t prefer your swords being flexible, it is also very sturdy. I haven’t seen any time where it bent other than when I was actively trying, which took a lot of effort! It has a beautiful design, if a bit simple, but I think that adds to the authenticity and overall longevity. If you were also looking at the antiqued varient, I would warn that it is only a finish, so if you sharpen or maintenance the blade it will rub off. I think this blade is an impressive height, and just about the longest you can go without looking gaudy. I was glad that I bought this sword and not a longer one, because I think it approaches the upper range regarding the ability to actually use it properly. It’s weight is not to be underestimated, and it’s balance is perfect for its use. My only warning is... learn how to properly swing it! If you think you know how, think again! I hurt my shoulder with a bad swing, but that user error could have easily been avoided by reading a couple of paragraphs!

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.

This sword is the very reason sword collecting is so exciting. Everything about this sword cries out to the serious collector. no one could know what the Excalibur sword would have looked like, but having this in your hand makes you feel you have a piece of history. I had it sharpened and it was well worth the money. even the scabbard was awesome. Get the Money, get this sword. You will love it!
