Medieval & Renaissance Swords from CAS Hanwei or Paul Chen forge
**We are an authorized dealer for CAS Iberia Hanwei**
Tinker Pearce - has teamed up with CAS Hanwei to bring yet another line of high end production swords at the fraction of the price one would normally pay for a sword with the Tinker name on it. 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 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. 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.
