Blunt Early Medieval Sword designed by Michael "Tinker" Pearce Our Tinker Early Medieval Swords are single-hand Oakeshott Type XII pieces, again having sharp and blunt versions with identical handling characteristics. 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. See models SH2404 for the Tinker Sharp Early Medieval Sword and OH2407 for the Blunt replacement blade. Replacement Retention nuts (OH2492) are also available.
