Counterfeit "Tinker" swords
Sir Edward:
The thing with the Tinker line, is that they are manufactured through CAS/Hanwei, rather than made by Tinker Pierce himself. He designed the prototypes.
I think this is a case of a sword that looks nothing like the Tinker swords, but they're trying to attach the name to it to sell it.
Sir Rodney:

The sword will go with a free sword bag, a set of spare Mekugi(bamboo nail) . The displan stand will not be included. It needs extra $45 with the shipping together..

Sir Nate:
Hmmm, I always thought that Tinker meant battle a sparring sword, but I suppose its because so many sites I have seen have said Tinker. Actually now that Im going back to certain sites they no longer say tinker. So perhaps the word really is spreading.
Sir William:
I reported the listing for fake/fraudulent claims under the aegis of trademark infringement; it'll get a review at least.
Tinker is the name of the guy; his site, www.tinkerswords.com, shows most of his wares but he's no longer making items last I heard. He entered into a partnership with CAS Iberia and Hanwei to design a run of Euro swords that became quite popular- his design in a pocket-friendly format, I've had a few, they're good swords.
