Ooooh. That sounds really nice.

I guess this is mostly for Peter but...
Continuing my increasing love for all things single egded; is there any possibility that the more slender and straight bladed messer that can be found in Talhoffer's 1467 fechtbuch ever will make its appearance as a sword in the Next Genereation line of single egded weapons? I missed out on a badly corroded original of that type on Hermann Historica and I'd love to see a modern reconstruction of such a messer. |

This is really in a distant and uncertain future, but... If we do any more messers, I would really like to see a straight one ;) |

I documented this one in Skara Länsmuseum. It is very wicked.
I´d like to design a verison of this one having an outline almost like a slim XVIII, but single edged, of course. Talhoffer has depicted these pointy messers in one of his earlier manuscripts (although those were slightly shorter and wider in the blade). |

The coming year will see other designs (we are working on concepts right now) so this single edged one will have to wait.
I feel very attracted to these. The ones we are working on now are more complex than this straight pointy one would be, so the production of the Meister and Knecht will be good when applied to any possible future single edged projects (and there are other single edged types beside messers that really beg for some closer study ;) ) We shall see. |

Nice one, the one at Hermann Historica BTW. Thanks for sharing :) . |

@ Joachim Nilsson: It has a Nagel. Look closely, it's difficult to spot, but it's there :) |

Yes, it does doesn't it? I was staring at the picture until my eyes almost popped out of my head and I just couldn't decide. Was worried for a moment that was only seeing what I wanted to see. |
