Grosses Messer Medieval Reproduction Sword 1480-1540
The Grosses Messer was a popular medieval sword. This messer was conceived during the renaissance and so it has all the latest features like a knuckle bow and knuckle stud or ‘nagel’. Sword comes complete with a period appropriate leather covered, wood cored scabbard and belt with copper alloy fittings. Sword is hand forged, hardened and tempered from EN45 steel and comes semi-sharp as standard.
It is one of those odd hair splitting definitions that history is full of and in this case these predominantly German and Swiss weapons feature knife scale construction and a minimal pommel. In terms of how they feel and were used, they are very similar to falchions and so do not be deceived by the wide blade; they cut with authority but are still agile.

Horn and Bone Layered Medieval Eating knife 14th to Early 16thC
Horn and Bone Layered Medieval Eating knife 14thC-15thC. This is a very striking middle class medieval eating knife that could be mistaken for high status. In fact the layers are a lowly, brass, bone and horn, so this is firmly middle class but a very pretty eating knife.
This example is based on 14thC Thames finds, but the style continued into the early 16thC
Blade length 11.5cm/4.6"
Handle 11.5cm/4.6"
Total length 21cm 8.25"
