Cold Steel® Man at Arms (MAA) Grosses Messer with Scabbard

This is the Man at Arms (MAA) version of Cold Steel®'s original Grosse Messer (Product No. CST-88GMS).

The medieval man-at-arms was a stalwart and dependable fighter who exhibited great martial prowess with a range of weapons. He was the veteran of many conflicts and was often first into the fray. Although he was not a Knight, he fought and trained alongside them as a brother in arms. To honor these rugged, salt-of-the-earth warriors, Cold Steel® has created a range of true journeyman's weapons called the Man at Arms Collection. These battle-ready weapons may lack the gleaming blades and polished silver steelwork of Cold Steel®'s high-end weapons, but they are quite similar in quality and performance. The fully sharpened and blued blades have a distinctive gun metal finish that complements the black handles. And when well-oiled, they are gleamingly beautiful in their own right. The Man at Arms collection features a selection of some of Cold Steel®'s finest blades, but at a markedly reduced price. If you always wanted a Cold Steel® piece but couldn't afford one, 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 far off days of old, noblemen and peasants alike relied on it to protect hearth and home from the ravages of brigands, cutthroats, outlaws and other assorted characters of ill repute. Due to its stout, wide blade and generously sized handle, it could be wielded in one or both hands and was capable of shearing through chain mail or cutting a man in half with a single strike. Cold Steel®'s version of this elegantly simple, yet remarkably effective weapon sports a sharp, hand-forged 1055 high carbon steel blade. The guard and heavy pommel are made from blued steel and feature wooden handle scales riveted to the sword's full tang.

For convenience and safety, the Grosse Messer comes with a strong, handsome leather scabbard. It is reinforced with a steel chape and a steel throat that have been blued to match the guard and pommel.

1055 High Carbon Steel
The carbon content and lean alloy of this shallow hardening steel make this a very sturdy material that avoids a lot of the brittleness commonly associated with higher carbon materials. Particularly suited to blades requiring impact resistance, it's often seen in large fixed blades and swords.

- Overall length: approx. 107.3 cm

- Blade thickness: approx. 6.35 mm
- Weight: approx. 2053 g

Perfektes Trainingsschwert

Ich habe mit dem Fechten angefangen, um Gewicht zu verlieren und meine Gesundheit zu verbessern. Dieses massive Schwert ist die perfekte Ergänzung für mein Training. Aufgrund seiner Größe und seines Gewichts ist es ein hervorragendes Krafttrainingsgerät. Alle anderen Schwerter fühlen sich leicht im Vergleich zu diesem an. Es könnte sogar einen Kopf oder Gliedmaßen abtrennen, selbst wenn es nur so scharf wie ein Buttermesser wäre. Cold Steel, ihr macht ein hervorragendes Produkt.

Wissen über Klingenhärte

Mittelalterliche Schwerter waren nicht so hart wie viele denken. Ihre Rockwellhärten lagen bei 20-50 HRC, da sie flexibel sein mussten und nicht zu hart sein durften. Genauso wurde das Grosse Messer nicht dafür gemacht, Holz zu hacken oder Steine zu klopfen. Das sollte man wissen, bevor man es kauft.

Fantastic Blade

This sword is impressive! It has more heft than expected due to its thick blade. It is very sturdy, with excellent quality steel, and comes decently sharp. Although not the sharpest I have owned, it's easily sharpenable. It's sharp enough to cut paper, which is quite sufficient for such a heavy sword. The hand-guard is a bit longer than my preference, but that could be an advantage in an actual fight. The blade is coated to protect it from rusting. Overall, I am very pleased with this sword!
