Kriegsmesser - 60 cm

Epic Armoury’s Kriegsmesser is a latex shortsword inspired by the mercenary Landsknechts of the Renaissance era. The 40 cm single-edged blade is slim with a 22 cm long fuller running along the ridge. An angular crossguard and seashell-shaped nagel provides additional protection to the 12 cm handle, which is ergonomically shaped and wrapped in split-leather for superior comfort.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.
