Adam Betts 47 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Wicked cool. I love the fuller and false edge. That's a fierce-looking blade for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Miller 139 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Very nice! This a very well proportioned piece. “If you trust in yourself. . . believe in your dreams. . . and follow your star. . . you will still get beaten by the people who have spent their time working hard and learning things, the people who weren't so lazy.” ~ Terry Pratchett Link to post Share on other sites

Jason McEntee 57 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Now THAT'S a sword. Beautiful yet menacing--exactly what a kriegsmesser / langes messer should be. Awesome work. I've always wanted a kriegsmesser / langes messer for my collection, but good ones are hard to get, and expensive. The couple of manufacturers that make good ones, Albion & Lutel, are out of my price range. Wish I could buy yours! www.facebook.com/appleseedcustoms/ Link to post Share on other sites
Wes Detrick 490 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Beautiful work! I love how faithful your messer is to the original. It is nice being able to see what the original would have looked like. “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." -Albert Camus http://www.krakenforge.net/ Link to post Share on other sites

grpaavola 37 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Beautiful! one thing I can't wrap my head around is how the hilt is put on the blade. Could you please explain this?

Maciej Leszczyński 91 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Crossguard is fitted with blade like in swords, then u make hole and rivet nagel. Wood was made after riveting pommel, fitted then riveted (3 tubes). I used ash and oxidized it with KMno4. Hope it will help 2 https://www.facebook.com/kuzniawilkowo/ Link to post Share on other sites

Maciej Leszczyński 91 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 It's highly corrosive so use brush and try to avoid touching steel parts. https://www.facebook.com/kuzniawilkowo/ Link to post Share on other sites

Maciej Leszczyński 91 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 I have no idea if i can add this link. It's all what i know about this messer. http://www.hermann-historica.de/en/langes_messer_sueddeutsch_1_haelfte_16_jhdt/l/143591?aid=145&Lstatus=0&Accid=1729¤tpos=16 https://www.facebook.com/kuzniawilkowo/ Link to post Share on other sites
Jerrod Miller 595 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I too think this is great. Thanks for sharing and including the tips on how it is done. But it really got me thinking: How do you rivet the nagel to the cross-guard when you can't get to the back side of the rivet? Or does the rivet go through the blade and out the other side of the guard? Link to post Share on other sites
