The Tin Shortsword is the tin equivalent of the Copper Shortsword (when a world is spawned with Tin Ore instead of Copper Ore during world creation), and is the second weakest of all the shortswords, being only more effective than the Copper Shortsword.
Like all shortswords, the Tin Shortsword has a very limited range and attacks with a stabbing motion at any direction on PC, Console, Mobile, and tModLoader, and horizontally in front of the player on Old-gen console, Windows Phone, Old Chinese, , and tModLoader Legacy, instead of an arc. This makes it almost useless against flying or jumping enemies, although its high attack rate makes it somewhat effective against weaker fighter type enemies.
Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia[]
- Despite being the counterpart of the Copper Shortsword, it cannot be used to craft the Zenith.
- Due to the fact that the Tin shortsword is a Copper shortsword tin equivalent, and is also less known and used, it has gained a slight memetic effect on the community.
