One boring day, having great imbalance of serotonin, norepinephrine or dopamine in brain cells probably because there wasn't any sunlight ,a job or something else i ordered SH2424 -- Tinker Great Sword of War from wiwingti. Two days later i got the sword at my door. It was packed in standard hanwei package. The guard could have been better protected. When i unwrapped the foils i smiled, my first medieval sword (not counting wooden ones i had in childhood). What is attractive to me about the sword is is the proportion of the blade, fuller and the handle composes with the width and the length of the blade I cut several plastic bottles and pine branches. This sword handles excellently for me. This sword's blade is sharp but the sharpening line is uneven in certain spots. I have nothing to compare this sword to because I'm new on the subject but I like it. The Tinker Sword of War handles excellently for me. Scabbard simple, very light and the blade fits well inside it. I took pictures of the measurements. And some details: I don't want to work my son to death writing and translating this review. This SND imbalance makes it hard for me to focus, sorry. If someone wants me to take pictures of any detail on the sword ill try to for fill your request. Jeez my dads weird. but i wub him. Thank you szabla-tomek

Thanks for the review, Szabla. That is one bigass sword. I'm starting to take a closer look at the H/T series.

I really like that sword. Could you take a picture of someone holding it so I can gain a better understanding of its size?

Shadow on wall (second pic) makes illusion that blade is much wilder then in reality... tomek

As much as I love the type XIII, I just think the Tinker line is too Spartan and plain.

Good swords for a very reasonable price that most sword lovers can afford. Also, the GSoW is a no-nonsense war sword, it doesn't need fancy hilt furniture, it means business!!

Egad, that is massive. Looks far larger in the second photo than the first, even.
I've given this one a few second looks, but a few other things have held my eyes longer. The tip is far more spatulate than I'd expected but I suppose that is more to the type of sword. The proportions do seem nice, though, overall. Thanks for the review.

I think it's due to the camera angle - the camera was relatively close to the subject, and head high - this made his sword (and his legs) look smaller. The effect is even more pronounced in the second shot, look at the legs.

Yeah, I noticed that, but it still amuses me.

That's why there is a weird angle but right away i have short legs... I hate you!!!! I sacrifice myself holding this huge sword i almost broke my nail. If i knew you guys were commenting me i would shave and brush my hair, not mentioning teeth. I'm not joking! szabla szabla is joking tomek
