Red Dragon Armoury Synthetic Langes Messer
The Red Dragon Synthetic Langes Messer is a durable synthetic sword designed for controlled sparring and partner drills. Based on the traditional German single-edged messer design, this synthetic version provides a practical alternative to steel while maintaining the distinctive handling characteristics and appearance of the historical weapon type.
The synthetic blade is engineered to flex in the final third toward the tip, helping reduce impact during controlled thrusting. A high-tensile steel reinforcing rod runs through the full length of the handle, strengthening the blade-to-hilt connection and reducing the excessive handle flex commonly found in molded synthetic swords.
The rounded guard, pommel, and blade profile are designed with controlled contact in mind. The thermoplastic elastomer grip provides a secure hold while helping absorb vibration from strikes. Like other Red Dragon synthetic swords, the Langes Messer uses a modular component system, allowing users to customize configurations with compatible Red Dragon parts.
Note: Synthetic swords are not universally accepted for tournaments or by every HEMA club. Please verify your club or event's equipment requirements before purchasing.
