CAS Hanwei has commissioned Michael 'Tinker' Pearce to design a line of swords that will satisfy both the sparring and cutting needs of Western Martial Arts practitioners. The Michael 'Tinker' Pearce swords meet Tinker's exacting quality requirements and are built in much the same way as his custom pieces. Each Cas Hanwei Michael 'Tinker' Pearce Sword blade is forged from 5160 Spring Steel, Marquenched to the desired hardness of 50-53 Hrc while the tang is drawn back to the low 30s Hrc. For the Medieval models the very end of the tang is threaded to fit a 5mm allen nut recessed into the pommel which allows for dismantling of the hilt assembly for inspection, to exchange blades if needed, and for anyone wanting to easily customize their grip. The grips are cord wrapped and leather covered wood and tapered for a comfortable grip. Each Cas Hanwei Michael 'Tinker' Pearce Sword is supplied with a leather covered wood scabbard with metal throat and chape.
The Michael Tinker Pearce Sharp Hand and a Half Bastard Sword with fuller features a sharp Oakeshott Type XVIIIa blade diamond sectioned throughout but fullered for about one third of its length. The tapered oval grip feels exceptional in hand while the second hand easily slides over the wheel pommel when extra leverage is required and the straight tapering cross provides excellent hand protection. The Cas Hanwei Michael Tinker Pearce Sharp Hand and a Half Bastard Sword with fuller is a perfect reenactment sword for sparring and cutting.
This fully functional Hand and a Half Bastard Sword, is tailored to meet the demands of reenactment and stage combat.
This is a high quality , high performance sword made by Hanwei , which you can proudly use and display.
