Kriegsmesser
Kriegsmesser
Description
The Kriegsmesser, literally meaning war knife in German, is a historical weapon inspired by the popular swords of the late Middle Ages. Its slightly curved, single-edged blade offers great precision while maintaining its range. The molded rubber handle guarantees exceptional handling and great comfort in its handling. This foam sword is ideal for warriors who prefer a combat weapon both traditional and efficient, such as swordsmen, professional soldiers, duelists, and other fighters of notable status in LARP events or historical reconstitution. For the veterans who were already acquainted with the Kriegsmesser, this version has been reviewed and upgraded, with the new pressed blades from Ateliers Nemesis! These new LARP weapons are slimmer, lighter, and more detailed, and still maintain the varied and luxurious options which made the reputation of the Artisan range, such as the options for wooden handles or for sword blades. As well, these new swords are compatible with the leather scabbards associated with other models from Ateliers Nemesis.
