Messer en acier "Blue" SPES

The "Blue" range from SPES represents the culmination of the brand's expertise in designing simulators for HEMA. These steel training weapons stand out for their approach that combines historical authenticity with modern performance and safety requirements.

The SPES Blue Messer is directly inspired by the long European knives from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Its 73 cm blade made of 50HF steel offers a hardness of 48-50 HRC, ensuring a good balance between rigidity and flexibility for realistic training.

The 15 cm handle is made from a flexible material dyed blue, with a texture that mimics wood. It widens at the end to ensure a firm grip. The 14 cm cruciform guard, typical of historical messers, is secured by a cross bolt.

Every detail has been designed for authenticity: the tip of the blade is equipped with a punta, and the base bears the inscription "• SPES •". With a total weight of 0.71 kg and a length of 90 cm, this messer is suitable for right-handed practitioners of all levels.

SPES recommends using this simulator with appropriate protective gear, such as Dueling gloves, the FG gambeson, or the Light 350N pants. To optimize its lifespan, it is advised to use it against simulators with similar properties.

Each SPES Blue Messer comes with a certificate of authenticity, highlighting its unique character within the "Blue" series. This training weapon offers HEMA enthusiasts a reliable tool to explore messer combat techniques, an important weapon in European martial history.
