The early Medieval swords are single-hand Oakeshott Type XII pieces, again having sharp and blunt versions with identical handling characteristics. The sharp is fullered for about two thirds of its length, with a flattened diamond section out towards the tip. The blunt uses a broad, flat fuller to move mass towards the edges for safety while retaining a very lively feel. The cruciform hilt is attractive and functional. These medieval swords have been are made to satisfy the need of every Western Martial Arts practitioner and sword enthusiast, to have a matching set of sharp and blunt swords for cutting and safe training practice. 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 very end of the tang is threaded to fit an allen nut recessed into the pommel which allows for dimantling of the hilt assembly for inspection or to exchange blades if needed.
