The Tinker Great Sword of War is designed and crafted purely as a cutting sword and weighing in at a little less than four pounds, it is built to excel on heavy targets. The 11” grip provides excellent leverage, and the static and dynamic balance are due to Tinker’s demanding standards. The blade is again forged in 5160 and marquenched to HRc 50-52. The hilt is retained by Tinker's signature recessed sleeve mounting system, providing secure retention.
