Cold Steel MAA Messer

Designed by Luke LaFontaine and Dave Baker, Cold Steel's new one-handed Messer is a sword that just has to be held to be appreciated! This modern interpretation of the historical German Langes Messer (or Long Knife) is beautifully balanced and a joy to use. Thinner and lighter than many of our current offerings, it handles almost like a giant Bowie Knife. Its clip-point style blade is fully sharpened on the primary edge, with an un-sharpened false edge terminating in a sturdy upswept point. The Messer's stylish and functional cross-guard, knuckle bow and pronounced shell-shaped Nagel are blued to match the blade and enhance the rich brown of the rosewood handle scales. Complete with a black leather scabbard with blued fittings. Steel: 1090 High Carbon Steel. Blade length: 28 inches. Item weight (per specs): 4 pounds. Item package dimensions (per specs): 31 x 9 x 3.75 inches. Package weight (per specs): 1.84 kilograms (approx. 4.06 pounds).
