Grosse Messer with scabbard – Black

Description This is the man at arms (MAA) version of the original Cold Steel® Grosse Messer. The medieval man-at-arms was a sturdy and reliable fighter who exhibited great martial prowess with a variety of weapons. He was the veteran of many conflicts and was often the first to enter the fray. Although he was not a Knight, he fought and trained with them like a brother-in-arms. To honor these rugged salt-of-the-earth warriors, Cold Steel® has created a range of true officer’s weapons called the Man at Arms Collection. These battle-ready weapons may lack the gleaming blades and polished silver steel of the higher-end Cold Steel® weapons, but they are quite similar in quality and performance. The fully sharpened, blued blades have a distinctive gunmetal finish that complements the black handles. And when well-oiled, they are resplendently beautiful in their own right. The Man at Arms collection features a selection of some of Cold Steel®’s finest blades, but at a remarkably reduced price. If you’ve always wanted a piece of Cold Steel® but couldn’t afford it, this collection is made for you. Known throughout Germany as the ‘Big Knife’, the Grosse Messer (also spelled Grosses Messer or Grossmesser ) hails from central and northern Europe where, in days of yore, nobles and peasants alike relied on it to protect hearth and home from fire. ravages of bandits, assassins, outlaws and other assorted disreputable characters. Because of its stout, broad blade and generously sized handle, it could be wielded with one or both hands and was capable of cutting through chain mail or cutting a man in half with a single blow. The Cold Steel® version of this elegantly simple, yet remarkably effective sword sports a sharp, hand-forged 1055 carbon steel blade. The guard and heavy pommel are made of blued steel and feature wooden handle scales riveted to the entire tang of the sword. For added comfort and safety, the Grosse Messer comes with a strong and elegant leather scabbard. It is reinforced with a steel jacket and steel throat that have been blued to match the guard and pommel. 1055 high carbon steel The carbon content and poor alloying of this surface hardening steel make it a very strong material that avoids much of the brittleness commonly associated with high carbon materials.
