TINKER PEARCE GREAT WAR SWORD (Sharp) SH2424 Hanwei Designed by noted sword smith Michael ''Tinker'' Pearce and manufactured by Hanwei, this Great Sword of War is made to satisfy the need of every Western Martial Arts practitioner and enthusiast, to have a sword crafted purely as a cutting sword designed to excel on heavy targets.
This Tinker Great Sword of War (Oakeshott Type XIIIa) will provide the practitioner a fast, well-balanced sword that performs beautifully in skilled hands. The sharpened dual edge blade of the SH2424 features a long fuller that runs over three quarters of its length, providing quickness while maintaining the necessary stiffness for a devastating cutting stroke. The tapered oval grip feels exceptional in hand while the second hand easily slides over the wheel pommel when extra leverage is required. The cross guard and large wheel pommel are made of highly polished steel and are as functional as they are beautiful.
The hardwood-cored grip is brown leather-over-cord wrapped. The Tinker Great Sword of War includes a composite fiberglass scabbard with matching brown leather wrap and steel accents.
