Product description
The grosses messer has been designed for HEMA, historical European Martial Arts. The grosses Messer, or large knife, was used mainly in Germany between the 14th and 16th centuries. As it was a relatively inexpensive sword, it was wielded chiefly by the lower classes, who also employed it in everyday life. The grosses messer is fitted with a finger ring and a wooden grip. It features a blade with medium flexibility, which is the most common type of blade utilised in HEMA tournaments. The blade can withstand a maximum pressure of 8 to 9 kg, a level considered safe at most HEMA tournaments. The tip features a thickening for additional safety.
