Cold Steel® Man at Arms (MAA) Messer

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.

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 Cold Steel®'s 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 also blued to match the blade and enhance the rich brown of the Malaysian sal wood handle scales.

Complete with a black leather scabbard with blued fittings, this beautiful new addition to Cold Steel®'s Man at Arms series has already become a firm favorite with Cold Steel®'s crew and will be a popular addition to your collection!

1090 High Carbon Steel
1090 high carbon steel is an excellent choice for larger fixed blades. It takes and holds a good edge while remaining tough enough to withstand even Cold Steel®'s brutal stress tests. It is a good all-around performance high carbon steel that is very forgiving under shock.

Gute Balance

Habe es heute erhalten und bin beeindruckt von der Leichtigkeit und Balance. Es war gut verpackt und sehr ölig (zum Rostschutz), was einiges an Arbeit kostete, um es zu entfernen. Die Klinge ist etwa einen Zentimeter vor dem Schutz vollständig ungeschärft, dann etwa 9 cm halb geschärft und zur Spitze hin papierdünn scharf. Die Füllungen und Schleifarbeiten sehen ziemlich symmetrisch und gleichmäßig aus, und die tiefschwarze Brünierung ist gut aufgetragen. Das Heft ist fest und die Vernietung lässt viel Platz für meine großen Hände. Man sieht den hellen Kleber/Harz deutlich an der Verbindung von Klinge und Schutz, was etwas unattraktiv ist. Es hat keinen Vollzapfen wie das große Messer, daher bleibt abzuwarten, wie robust es sein wird. Die Scheide ist aus steifem, schwerem Leder mit Stahlkappe und -verschluss, die fest sitzt und Lederreste und Rückstände auf der Klinge hinterlässt, wenn man sie zieht. Wenn man das Schwert in der Scheide aufnimmt, fühlt es sich doppelt so schwer an wie die nackte Klinge. Nackt wirkt die Klinge sehr lebendig – kann es kaum erwarten, damit zu schneiden.

Affordable Quality

Had to sharpen it myself as the factory edge was a bit rough. The wooden handle came with a crack, but it doesn't impact its use. The last two inches of the tip are slightly bent to one side, but the blade is well-tempered; it springs back when I try to straighten it. The handguard hits my knuckles if I hold it normally. Overall, I'm happy with its light weight, speed, and menacing appearance!

Great for Modern Use!

I've wanted one of these for a long time and finally got it, so keep that in mind. Initially skeptical due to some negative comments, I was impressed by its balance and weight. As a seasoned HEMA practitioner, transitioning into guards was seamless. Cutting water bottles (since I don't have tatami mats) was effortless. It's a bit shorter than the Messer I'm used to, but I adjusted. The grease and packaging didn't bother me since it protected against rust. If scratched, I'll just use a bluing kit meant for firearms. It's more suited for modern combat than historical collecting. Perfect for a tactical vest, and maybe pair it with a buckler!

Great Sword

This sword is light, fast, and cuts well. Everything is secure on the handle and guard. I own several Cold Steel swords, both medieval and Chinese, and I'm very pleased with all of them.
