Now THAT's a "knife"... By medieval German standards. The messer (AKA langes / grosses messer or langmesser) is a single-edged sword with a characteristic guard and a knife-like hilt typically consisting of riveted handle scales with a pommel cap. It was a "common man's sword" particularly popular in the 15th & 16th century. Have you seen my other videos about these and similar weapons?

In this video I talk about its role in history and show you the results of the testing I did in order to review its build quality. The weight, balance, and handling are just right. A remarkably powerful yet nimble sword, with an efficiently shaped, comfortable grip. The sharpened clip point makes it practically double-edged, and the blade geometry and seriously sharp edge make it cut impressively well. ** Specifications ** Overall length: 60.5 cm (23.8’’) Blade length: 49.5 cm (19-1/2’’) Blade width: 5.1 cm (2’’) Blade thickness: 5.7 mm (7/32’’) tapering down to 4mm (5/32") near the tip Point of balance: ca. 8.5 cm (3-1/3’’) Weight: 997 g (2 lbs / 3 oz) Blade material: 6150 spring steel Handle material: Walnut (other options: beech, oak, pear, boxwood, antler) Price (as of 22 April, 2022): 270EUR = 366 CAD = 294 USD Scabbard: 120 EUR = 163 CAD = 130 USD ** Where to get it (affiliate links) ** www.kultofathena.com/product/landsknecht-emporium-… www.kultofathena.com/product/landsknecht-emporium-… Coupons: • GUSKALL10 - 10% off of any Gustav messer (applies to the first 10 buyers) • GUSCAB15 - 15EUR off of any Gustav scabbard (applies to the first 20 buyers) ** Sources ** Debunking the loophole myth: “Ungewoenliche Lange Messer: Weapons regulations in Southern and Western Germany in the 15th century” by Bastian Koppenhöfer, 2021 drive.google.com/file/d/1t5qTmmJ0LH2mT1u6COScH9NRl… wiktenauer.com/wiki/Category:Messer www.fricker-historische-waffen.de/en/objects-for-s… ** Music credits ** Outtakes: "The Cavern of Wonders", "RPG Ambient 3", "RPG Ambient 4 (The Dark Woods)" by Hitctrl opengameart.org/content/rpg-the-cavern-of-wonders opengameart.org/content/rpg-ambient-3 opengameart.org/content/rpg-ambient-4-the-dark-woo… Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license (CC BY 3.0) "Medieval: King's Feast" by Random Mind opengameart.org/content/medieval-kings-feast CC0 1.0 Universal - Public Domain Outro: "Highland Storm" by The Slanted Room Records theslantedroom.github.io/steve.yee/ Used with artist's permission ** Merch ** www.bonfire.com/store/skallswag/ ** Support the channel ** Help fund future videos, get bonus content and access to an exclusive Discord server: www.patreon.com/skallagrim youtube.com/channel/UC3WIohkLkH4GFoMrrWVZZFA/join www.subscribestar.com/skallagrim Other ways to support the channel by shopping through affiliate links: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: www.kultofathena.com/?koa=259 Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: www.woodenswords.com/?Click=1799 Want to treat your face fluff?
