Did some initial #sword #cutting (6 basic cuts + 5 master cuts from German #longsword fencing traditions) using a custom longsword lovingly crafted by sword friend @MatthewCross2 by taking a Hanwei Tinker longsword blade with custom crossguard and wheel pommel, and a wood core grip he made with leather wrap (cord impression + risers) on top. The sword is harmonically balanced, borne of swordsmith Michael Tinker Pearce's design. A detailed review is scheduled for this summer!
