And here's a very interesting piece I've had more than ten years now. It's an interesting sword, but something of a jinxed blade. This is a fencing saber made by Tinker Pearce back in 2008. He is probably best known as a sword maker and historian and for his collaboration with Hanwei on a series of medieval sword reproductions. I ordered it probably a year and a half before that, but Tinker was having health problems and this was one of the last swords he made during that period, although he has been making swords again for several years now. He actually broke the first blade and had to reforge another. It was intended to cut my wedding cake in September 2008, and it arrived in my hands just a week before the wedding date. However, the bad luck continued, and I got divorced in 2017, and the sword is what I have left to show for all of that.
OAL: 38.5"
Blade: Satin-finish 5160, 33" long, 15/16" tall at the hilt, 1/4" wide at the hilt, 20" sharpened edge, 11" sharpened back edge.
Guard: Mild steel.
Handle: Black leather.
