Hanwei Tinker Norman Sword Sharp, 5160 high carbon, SH2426

The Norman swords, with their distinctive cruciform guards and brazil-nut pommels, are similar in weight and static balance and offer virtually identical handling characteristics. Both are harmonically balanced – to optimize cutting ability in the case of the sharp version and to provide authentic handling characteristics for the re-enactor. The blades are forged in 5160 high carbon steel and marquenched to HRc50-52, allowing superior edge retention on the sharp. Grips are wood-cored and leather-covered over a cord wrap.
