**LIMITED QUANTITY AVAILABLE** SH2427 - Norman Sword Blunt Trainer designed by Michael `Tinker` Pearce and reproduced by Hanwei to his specifications.

The Norman swords with their distinctive cruciform guards and brazil-nut pommels are similar in weight and static balance and offer virtually identical handling characteristics. Both are harmonically balanced €“ to optimize cutting ability in the case of the sharp version and to provide authentic handling characteristics for the re-enactor.

The swords meet Tinker`s exacting quality requirements and are built in much the same way as his custom pieces. Each 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. The construction of the Norman"pair"differs from other swords in the Tinker series in as much as they are tang-riveted (peened) in period fashion at the pommel primarily to satisfy re-enactment requirements. However as with the other swords in the series replacement blades are available. The grips are cord wrapped and leather covered wood and tapered for a comfortable grip. Each sword is supplied with a leather covered wood scabbard with metal throat and chape.

Made by Hanwei.
