Build Your Own Italian Dueling Sabre
We designed these light Italian Dueling Sabres to be the most accurate training/tournament sabres of their kind available on the market today. We utilized extensive research of extant Italian examples, accurate guard flat patterns, blade profiles, grip modeling and other specific qualities to bring these tournament grade simulators to life like never before. We offer two guard types, two blade sizes and two grip models that you can choose to mix and match and make YOUR perfect sabre!We know that everyone's personal feelings on the perfect balance, weight and grip shape differ. We put together a list of our Italian dueling sabre parts to choose from so you can mix and match the perfect sabre for you.
**NOTE, these sabres accurately reflect the weight, flex and purpose of the historical examples they replicate. These sabres were light (near 750 grams), fast and quite flexible- considered to fall into our F2 flex range. They are not meant to see combat against heavier, stiffer weapons like feders, longswords or messers.**

Build Your Own Messer
Our Messer features our hand ground single edged tapered Messer blade that is 1.25″ wide at the forte and .5″ at the tip. This blade is a faithful representation of the German Grosse Messers or “great knives” of the 14th through 16th centuries. Historically these blades were usually between 20″ and 28″ long. Our Messer Blade is longer than most extant pieces in an effort to maintain a realistic blade weight and width but still have a reasonable flex. Our Blades are made from high quality 5160 spring steel bar stock tempered to the optimal point where maximum toughness & durability meets hardness, 52 Rockwell C. This blade has a polished finish and the flex is centered just below the tip third of the blade. The edge is set to no less than 3.5 mm in width. This blade is offered in a blade length of 30″ measured from the tang shoulder to the tip. There are two options for flex, F3 and F4. F3 is softer and is legal for SCA rapier combat while F4 is less flexible, recommended for SCA C&T and HEMA combat.
The guard (with Nagel) is made from one piece of hardened Domex alloy steel and is formed and contoured for comfort and safety. The guard measures 8” from quillon tip to quillon tip. The nagel is 2-1/2” inches tall and curves back over the knuckles slightly.
We offer this sword with our coated aluminum contoured grips in lengths of 5” (Gross Messer) and 8” (Lang Messer).
These options are brought together by our steel Messer pommel with a recessed M8 x 1.25 threaded hex nut.
Finally, we offer two tip types: Normal Tip (NT) (+$0.00), the standard rounded tip that accepts a rubber blunt and Spatulated Tip (ST) (+$11.00), a swelled and rounded tip that offers tip width of no less than 5mm.
