Loving this style of review, loved seeing this little fella power through your test, a beautiful messer with a very nice sheath to match. And to top it all off, we get to see some beautiful scenery!
Been eyeing this beauty from Landsknecht Emporium for a while now. It's shorter than the Günther sparring blunt that I have but looks to be more agile. Overall top quality from Landsknecht as usual!
Unrelated, but the mic quality is incredible for the beautiful filming location. Usually with coasts there's too much wind or noise from waves, so it must've been a beautiful day when this was recorded
I like the way you handle this messer, especially not striking edge on edge when you practiced parrying, really shows you're know what your doing with blades, Great content as always Skallagrim 👍⚔
There was at least one medieval treatise that said to block another edge with the edge. Today though, it probably helps the blade's longevity to avoid it
@@MegaKnight2012 At least one other did and he pointed out that the common cross-guard is pretty much worthless if you parry with the flat, meaning parrying with the edge was almost certainly standard practice.
Historically those blades were imported in bulk from blade factories and then fitted with Messer or Falchion handles depending on the target customers .
Wow that's a really great price! The price jumps quite a bit to ~$700 with the sheath, but that's still a very reasonable price for what looks to be an amazing blade.
Hooray! I've been looking forward to seeing you review this since it appeared in a couple of your videos weeks back. Been admiring this sword for a good while. Thanks for keeping up the great work.
1000th like! What a lucky strike :D And, since I'm already making a comment - Thank you, Skallagrim, for regularly putting smile on my face. Your vids are fun and educating and it's really great to see how your channel is evolving. Thank you :)
I have a Landschnekt Emporium langes messer, absolutely love it. The finish is a bit rough, but I think that adds to the workmanlike feel of it. Can definitely recommend!

I still love the Gustav I've reviewed, but Adorian seems to be a lighter and nimbler variant of langesmesser. Interesting cross section of a V wedge without any fuller or hollow ground geometry. Love its performance! Thanks for the showcase and review, Skall!! BTW, incredible backdrop, as always!
I recently rough finished one based on the gustav and the one done by Tod. I wanted to practice making the crossguard, the nagel and the whole assembly. I didnt care about the blade. I used an old machete for it, as seen here on yt by TRCustomknives. Its obviously not a real messer, but boy does it feel snappy! It is a bit too flexible though, so you have to take extra care when cutting, but man, such a cool sword design. Cant wait to make the real thing :D
It is a very beautiful knife, a performed Version of the "deutsches Messer" i like it.👍 Sorry for my bad englisch i live in germany and i am from the Netherlands.😳
Gorgeous piece. Been thinking about buying my first serious sword by the end of the year, after this vid I think I may go with one of these guys if they're still available by the time I'm ready to buy
I love mine. Unfortunately, the point was a bit too fine, and mine broke off. No big deal. But, something to be aware of. They have a super fine point.
Skall, you would make an excellent salesperson for all that is sharp and pointy. I find myself wishing I had the funds for these beautiful shiny and deadly things, as well as a much bigger house, everytime I see these reviews.
LOL it was MDF not cardboard (Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a nonstructural fiber-based panel that is composed of wood fibers bonded together with resin under heat and pressure.)
I'm Native American and our word for white people translates into 'long knife', I'm pretty sure we were talking about their swords. The translation for Asians would probably get us canceld today but it roughly translates into, 'eyes stretched like a bow'.
Legit, only thing i could even nitpick about it is that i wish the scales were a slightly darker finish to better match the sheath, but that doesn't detract from it at all. I'd love to own that absolute beauty!
Got question can parrying hooks from zweihander can they be applied to other swords from longsword to curved swords like Messers French saber and Katana. Just need your thoughts and answers on the subject
This is my preferred historical interpretation - take the historically similar items (swords or anything else), distill out what you think are the best parts of it, and then make that. Far too many people think history works linearly, so that each item is an iteration on the last - but that’s not how things work. Instead you get a wide variety of people creating things they think will work, either because it’s the same as they saw in the past or because they think their design will work better for some specific use, or because they think they can make something cheaper than the alternative that will be just as successful.
It's been too long since I saw a big sharp thing and instantly wanted one. That's a pretty knife.
@@H.M.Ot4kuThis is a knife
*insert image of a Bowie Knife*
Long knife is best knife 👍
What about big knife, or war knife?
@@scottmacgregor3444 also good
Long knives all night.
Beautiful blade, beautiful location! Great job on the editing too. Really appreciated the zoom in on the different parts you were talking about
Heck yeah I’ve been looking forward to this video. Love messers.
It literally can give your face a permanent smile. :)
Wanna know how I got these scars?
$%&@ing around with a wall hanger.
"Why so serious?"
After the vote/comments, personally I think the thumbnail chosen for this was absolutely a good one.
Thanks. :)
I never thought that weapons would be of interest to me. You Sir have drawn me with your knowledge, passion and style. Thankyou.

Now that is a knoif.
okay Dundee 🤣
I got one of those about 9 months ago. One of my absolutely favorite blades that I own. I'll be wearing it tomorrow to the VA Renaissance festival.
That little thing is great! Perfect for an EDC

@@MegaKnight2012 pretty sure he made a video about this
@@Folbak He probably did. I just couldn't remember which of the Medieval martial arts enthusiasts did it
@@MegaKnight2012 At least one other did and he pointed out that the common cross-guard is pretty much worthless if you parry with the flat, meaning parrying with the edge was almost certainly standard practice.
the blade is a simple and utilitarian design which I can imagine will be suitable for various different types of hilts

This blade is a masterpiece!
Now THAT’S a knife.
What a beautiful messer, Skall! It looks exceptionally nimble!
i just finished making my own personal messier, its a great design
I never tire of seeing these videos on that marvelous place. I could literally watch you eating noodles with those waves on the background
Nice! I recently received a Messer from a Krieger Historical that I quite like. These handy little blades are quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
I was always a fan of the Seax... But the more I see of the Messer's the more I wants them...
ya! the thumbnail i voted for! lovely sunny day, i like the outside talks
That thing is perfect. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you Skal for sharing it with us.
Hooray! I've been looking forward to seeing you review this since it appeared in a couple of your videos weeks back. Been admiring this sword for a good while. Thanks for keeping up the great work.
Very nice langemesser. I’m glad you didn’t fumble, drop it and then have it skitter down the rocks into the ocean.
Yeah, that'd be tragic.
1000th like! What a lucky strike :D
And, since I'm already making a comment - Thank you, Skallagrim, for regularly putting smile on my face.

Thank you :)
He's right, this made me smile in no time
I like the parry and mail coif flat bade strikes to test the assembly and fit. Those vibrations really give put the blade though it's paces.
wow .. amazing. That maneuver in 1:50 is same as the back-cut in 1830's Bowie Knife fencing. Great skills you have developed. Great video

It is on my wish list.
Beautiful reproduction. The scabbard is the best part imo. 🔪😍
I'm very, very jealous every time I see you in a video with a messer. Thanks for the video!
"Son of a goat!" I'm going to have to start using that one!
Now THIS is a knife.
Great video - I love these classic Skall reviews - informative and fun to watch. The quality to price ratio on this blade seems pretty remarkable.
I like the characterization of the messer being a tomboy lmao
I still love the Gustav I've reviewed, but Adorian seems to be a lighter and nimbler variant of langesmesser. Interesting cross section of a V wedge without any fuller or hollow ground geometry. Love its performance! Thanks for the showcase and review, Skall!! BTW, incredible backdrop, as always!

It’s an interesting project!
@@FortuneFavoursTheBold Yeah! Its a shame I cant post a pic here. Im quite proud on how it turned out 😁
@@dan_the_dj I think you can start a post on your channel and post the photos there, and link to your post.
Love mine! Still waiting on my custom black sheath though. Definitely one of the best swords in my collection.
It is a very beautiful knife, a performed Version of the "deutsches Messer" i like it.👍
Sorry for my bad englisch i live in germany and i am from the Netherlands.😳
Sorry i habe to say "langes Messer"( long knife).
This is what i want for christmas.
what a beautiful piece of art.
Damn your movements at 1:28 are so good ! You are skilled
Title is clickbait : the blade didn't put a smile on my face, you did :)
Corny, but still made me laugh. Damn you.
Love the location!
Yep. It’s beautiful. 😍.
This one sort of gets to me. I saw it and it instantly spoke to me. I really really like it. And for that price? It's almost thievery.
I can only agree with the general tone of the comments, this is an exceptional beautiful Messer.
Gorgeous piece. Been thinking about buying my first serious sword by the end of the year, after this vid I think I may go with one of these guys if they're still available by the time I'm ready to buy
Skal, I think you might have a typo on the blade length in the description. 56 inches seems a little off...
I love mine. Unfortunately, the point was a bit too fine, and mine broke off. No big deal. But, something to be aware of. They have a super fine point.
Only a decade ago, any sword under 600$ was objective trash.
We're re-mastering the craft!
That difficult to cut through "cardboard" might have been pressboard, which is basically super dense cardboard that can act as a substitute for wood.
The card board you cut at 06:18 looks like compressed card board which yes is alot harder than regular card board
It is adorable.
What a beauty, thanks for sharing brother 👍.
Yup you got me this definitely made me smile 😃
Night of the long knives 😊
Love your on location clips skallagrim.
now thats a kniofe.
My first blade. I really love it…
300 bucks!? For a blade this nice? I'm sold already!
That scabbard looks fantastic
Love the location choice
Nice
That's a nice big knife!
I wonder if they could make a version for lefties with the nagel on the other side
Absolutely, it's a standard option to choose the handedness when ordering any of our messers :)
I see big knife. I smile.
Skall, you would make an excellent salesperson for all that is sharp and pointy. I find myself wishing I had the funds for these beautiful shiny and deadly things, as well as a much bigger house, everytime I see these reviews.
Are there ever any messers made with a side ring instead of a nail guard?
I really like the looks of that sheath, btw.
LOL it was MDF not cardboard (Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a nonstructural fiber-based panel that is composed of wood fibers bonded together with resin under heat and pressure.)
If you feel the itch for more messers, I would love a comparison of the emporiums offerings.
Nice one. Interested to hear which technique your intending to use in sharpening
Very nice
Must expand collection..
great location. Need more sword rev.
I'm Native American and our word for white people translates into 'long knife', I'm pretty sure we were talking about their swords. The translation for Asians would probably get us canceld today but it roughly translates into, 'eyes stretched like a bow'.
Which messer do you like better from landsknecht? Adorian or gustave
Yes! Sword review!
I think we have the same hat, and i love it.
The local miller/cooper/brewer/etc maybe can't get away with a longsword/arming sword, but maybe a messer saves his day.
Did you do a video on the Pugio?
Nice informative review, might have to consider picking this up at some point.
This would be a nice accessory to my Gustav Messer
You always have so much swag genuinely.
I remember in Elden Ring we had this sword dropped by skeletons called "Grossmesser''.
That's a beautiful knife, I would love to have that in my collection
Keystrokes for the enjoyable video
Here's hoping to see more of these
Neat knife, now that's something i'd take to a gentlemen's duel as a bystander.
Looks good this long knive or short sword.
Legit, only thing i could even nitpick about it is that i wish the scales were a slightly darker finish to better match the sheath, but that doesn't detract from it at all. I'd love to own that absolute beauty!
What is it with messers and value for money? It seems to be the case everytime Skall reviews one.
Got question can parrying hooks from zweihander can they be applied to other swords from longsword to curved swords like Messers French saber and Katana.
Just need your thoughts and answers on the subject
I have the same sword, I love it.
what a beautiful sharp man. The knife and backdrop are nice too I suppose
nice drip king
someone made a skyrim skallagrim swords mod and I'm using it right now...for the kriegsmesser of course :D now I need his little brother
