Messer – “Paulus”

From:  335,00 (Exc. VAT)

Paulus is the longest messer among our Hans–Peter–Paulus trio, offering extended reach and strong cutting presence.

Based on a depiction from Paulus Kal’s Fechtbuch, it features historically inspired proportions and a distinctive double “false” edge — a back edge that runs along both the tip and clipped section, giving it a striking, period-authentic profile.

The added length gives Paulus a commanding yet controlled feel, well-suited for techniques emphasizing range and structure. With its stiff blade, it performs reliably in technical drills and partner exercises, offering excellent feedback and handling.

For those seeking a messer with historical flair and longer reach, Paulus delivers both authenticity and performance.
