Hanwei Bastard Sword Oakeshott XVIIIa Tinker Sharp

The Tinker Bastard swords, crafted by Paul Chen of Hanwei, draw inspiration from the Oakeshott Type XVIIIA and are meticulously designed to ensure that both the sharp and blunt versions perform identically in terms of handling. 

This unique feature allows for the possibility of sparring and cutting with swords that have a consistent feel and response. The sharp blade comes in two variations, and this particular version features a diamond-sectioned design throughout its length. The wheel-type pommels are carefully sized to accommodate a secure grip with a second hand when needed, while the straight tapering crossguard provides exceptional hand protection. 

To explore the sharp replacement blade, refer to Hanwei's model OH2402. Experience the versatility and balanced performance of the Tinker Bastard swords for yourself.
