SYNTHETIC SPARRING MESSER SWORD PR9052 RAWLINGS
Rawlings Xtreme Messer Synthetic Sparring Sword. 37 1/2" overall. 29 3/4" silver Messer blade. Brown grip. Black guard and pommel. The Messer was part of the curriculum of several fencing manuals in the 14th and 15th centuries, including Lecküchner, Codex Wallerstein and Albrecht Dürer. This Sparring Messer is crafted with special-purpose, reinforced high-impact polymer. A key feature of the swords is their ease of assembly and disassembly, making for easy transport. A brass nut is molded into the pommel, providing a tight metal on metal joint to the tang and compressing the slide-on grip against the guard. An excellent, safe option for theatrical use.

A safe alternative for steel blade swords. The blades are designed to flex in the last one-third of their length towards the tip, allowing for much safer thrusting than with conventional wooden wasters or shinai. The blade/tang joint is reinforced by a high tensile steel rod running along the full length of the handle, removing the handle flex typically associated with plastic training swords. The grips are manufactured from a rubber-like thermoplastic elastomer, designed to absorb the impact of strikes and to provide a tight fit on the tangs. These swords are about two-thirds of the weight of a steel-bladed sword, heavier than most wooden wasters on the market but still having less impact than a steel sword, thus lowering the impact when sparring.
