Cold Steel - Grosse Messer Sword

This is the sword known in Germany as the “Big Knife”, the Grosse Messer 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, cut throats, outlaws and other assorted characters of ill repute.

 

Make no mistake, these swords were leathal. The wide blade and big sized handle could be weilded with one or both hands. This sword was so sharp that it was capable of shearing through chain mail or cutting a man in half with a single strike.
