Product description
This grosses messer was designed for HEMA, historical European Martial arts. The grosses Messer or large knife was used mainly in Germany between the 14th and 16th centuries. Because it was a relatively cheap sword, mostly the lower people fought with it and also used it for everyday life. This grosses messer has a finger ring and a wooden grip. It has a blade with medium flexibility. This is the most common type of blade used for HEMA tournaments. The blade can have a maximum pressure of 8 to 9 kg. This pressure is considered safe at most HEMA tournaments. The tip has a thickening for extra safety.
