Michael "Tinker" Smith Longsword-Special



TheCastleCourt is pleased to announce that we are running a very special price on the Tinker longswords, both the blunt and the sharp. These are the swords that have been so long anticipated from CAS/Hanwei. Mr. Smith is world renown for his knowledge of the medieval sword. Following is the review of the Longsword by Sean Hayes, one of the best instructors in the world on sword technique.

"I had the opportunity to handle the prototype Tinker Pearce Line Longswords by CAS/Hanwei, and they are beautiful, well-balanced, quick-handling swords at an excellent price. The sharp and blunt versions handle almost identically in cuts, thrusts, and quick posta (guard) transitions. These promise to be the mid-priced training weapon of choice for longsword studies."
