This impressive Krieg-Messer, or "War-Knife," is akin to those of medieval Germany. The blade is handcrafted from high carbon steel, with a three-quarter fuller. The hilt includes a traditional “nagel” for added hand protection, alongside a large steel crossguard. With a flat tang for enhanced durability and strength, it is finished with rosewood scales secured by copper rivits, adding a touch of elegance to this powerful yet agile sword.

Expertly balanced and made from premium materials, this Grand-Messer embodies the spirit of medieval German craftsmanship. Please note, a sheath is not included with this piece.

These stunning swords from Erik Steelcrafts come with ~1mm edges—refined but not fully sharpened. For those interested in a fully sharpened version for tameshigiri-style target cutting, we offer sharpening services upon request at Superior Swords.
