Blade -Synthetic Messer / Falchion

Description of the Product

During the German Late Middle Ages and Renaissance (14th to 16th centuries), the Messer was a term for the class of single-edged bladed weapons, deriving from the medieval falchion and preceding the modern sabre.

The Messer was part of the curriculum of several fencing manuals in the 14th and 15th centuries, including Lecküchner, Codex Wallerstein and Albrecht Dürer.

Our Messer blade is manufactured from the same special Proline Xtreme blend of high-impact polymer used in the construction of our other synthetic swords.

Using Scent-stopper pommel and Messer guard you can make a Messer using this blade. With addition of an Extended Pommel, this item can be used in a Langes Messer. The addition of a Basket Hilt and Pommel creates a Cutlass and adding a Single Hand Guard and Wheel Pommel creates a Falchion.
