Weapons

Our Tinker Bastard swords are based on the Oakeshott Type XVIIIA. The sharp blade is produced in two slightly different versions - this version is diamond-sectioned throughout but fullered for about one third of its length. Wheel-type pommels are sized to provide a grip for the second hand when required, and the straight tapering cross provides excellent hand protection.

The Renaissance was a period in European history, from the 14^{th _}17^th century, that is regarded as the cultural bridge between the Middle ages and modern history. During this period the fighting arts and associated weaponry also went through change. This period gave birth to weapons like the elegant and refined rapier, designed more for duelling and protection than for use on the battlefield.

Our Renaissance Dagger is a weapon of a more refined age. Gone are the straight quillons of the medieval period, in favour of downturned quillons that make parrying easier. The blade is longer and thinner than medieval counterparts and is designed more for thrusting than cutting – whilst still remaining enough mass to solidly parry a blow from a rapier. These parrying daggers were sometimes called “Main Gauche” (French for “Left Hand”) as they were used in conjunction with a rapier, that was held in the right hand. It features solid steel hilt fittings and a leather wrapped grip. The hand forged blade is blunt and great for theatrical and re-enactment use. Not recommended for full contact combat. It comes complete with a laced leather scabbard with belt loop.

The Main Gauche or left-handed dagger was often used with the rapier, providing an added dimension in both offence and defence, and the ""Schools of Fence"" which proliferated in Europe during the period taught the use of two weapons in combination. The Main Gauche would often match the Rapier in styling, while incorporating features, which maximized the effectiveness of the piece.
