The German Grosse Messer (big knife) is one of the largest of the blades that fall under the classification of Messer. It can be wielded in one or both hands and is capable of astonishing cutting feats. Cold Steels modern version of this historical classic features a hand-forged blade of 1060 carbon steel thats so sharp weve used it to split a telephone book in half, with a single blow!

The Grosse Messer also comes with a handsome wood and leather scabbard, reinforced with a steel chape and throat that has been blued to match the guard and pommel.
