Adam is an artist, what beautiful piece of work. I love my Landsknecht Emporium Gunter and Gottfried messers, I would very much like one of his Bauernwehr some day.
I love the design. How is the guard constructed and attached? I imagine it couldn't slip over full tang handle like that. I'm a knifemaker, and want to make a messer, and trying to learn all I can.
As far as I understand the process, the guard is slid into place over the blade from the top and the peened in place from below, you can see that here: th-cam.com/video/2RD6TWXfRhI/w-d-xo.html And here: th-cam.com/video/2RD6TWXfRhI/w-d-xo.html Then the grip slabs are riveted to the sides of the tang and lastly the Nagel is peened in place, through guard and tang. It is polished, so you cannot really see it on the other side: th-cam.com/video/2RD6TWXfRhI/w-d-xo.html
she's a beautiful Messer. I sure as hell wouldn't want to fence against it though (mostly because fencing with sharps is a tad insane). This Ádám Bodorics is an artist

Looks to Me like a Single Edged Cinquedea!
I had not thought of it that way, but I can see what you mean, yes. It is a nice stout and broad blade.

Yeah, this one is not for fencing :)
I AM looking forward to the next cutting session though.

@@die.freifechter I should search something to cut with my own sharp Messer (Cold Steel Grosse Messer)
I can recommend it. Building the stand was great fun too.
What a work of art
It really is, but I might be biased :)
