The Knochenbrecher (Messer)

Weapons of war often evolved from tools used for hunting, farming, or day-to-day survival in a hostile world, and nowhere is that more clear than in the German “Messer” (meaning “knife”) style of swords. Messer swords began as simple, single-edged weapons, merely scaled up versions of the knives from which they descended. Over time, they became distinctive, deadly, and beautiful weapons associated with the Germanic peoples. Darksword Armory’s Knochenbrecher (German for “Bone Breaker”) is based on the Kriegsmesser, meaning “war knife,” the large and imposing weapon of the 15th-century. Large, brutal, and totally battle-ready, the Darksword Armory Knochenbrecher is a powerful cutter – balanced for delivering sweeping, heavy strikes as its historical counterpart would have been.
