These hilt fittings are designed and modeled by Mike Jia and cast in low carbon steel by Universal Swords. They are designed to fit Hanwei/Tinker Sharp Longsword blade, although some tang or fitting modifications may be necessary to achieve a good fit. The inlet in the guard is designed to fit the sharp version of this blade only, not the blunt.

The crossguard casting is solid steel, but I do NOT recommend it for HEMA use. The steel is slightly softer than previous runs of PA parts and will get bent or chewed up in heavy blade-to-guard action. We are working with Universal to cast future runs in a tougher alloy.

The pommel is designed to be secured with a recessed hex nut. If you already have an H/T sword and are replacing the fittings, your existing nut should work fine. If you are building a sword from scratch please add a hex nut and hex wrench to your order. Those can be found HERE.

Pommel weighs 160g/0.35 lbs.

Fittings are available in several finishes. The base option is polished steel. They can be chemical-blued for no extra charge, or electroplated in brass and coated in lacquer for $100 more. Plating takes a couple weeks—contact me for lead time if you need specifics. Gold and silver plating are also available. Contact me for pricing.

This listing is for 1 guard and 1 pommel ONLY. Blade, grip and hex nut are not included.

If you are planning a project with a peened tang and want a pommel without the larger hole for the hex nut, drop me an email. I have pommels available with a 1/4” hole.

Fittings should ship anywhere in the US for ~$10 via USPS flat rate box. If you need international shipping, please email me at info@jessebelsky.com with your complete shipping address and a phone number for customs paperwork, and what you’d like to order. I will send you a link to a custom listing that includes shipping and you can complete your purchase with a credit card.
