Volker type M5C messer - Blunt Trainer

The Volker M5C is a lightweight, quick-to-move messer, standing in the middle ground between the more thrust-oriented Karl and the cut-oriented Gottfried designs.

This messer has a straight M5C blade with a strong profile taper, with the grip featuring a N2d Nagel and a simple DD1 buttplate.

As Adam's original intent for this product was to address some common feedback from our customers on blunt messers, currently, the Volker is available only with our standard thick-blunt blade design.

The blade is ground freehand from a blank of 6150/51crv4, heat-treated to 50-52HrC. The hilt accessories are also ground freehand from mild steel. The Nagel is a separate piece peened on the other side of the quillon block, as seen on all historical pieces. The quillons are slid downwards from the tip with the blade protruding in the bottom. Depending on the exact quillons we made, this protrusion may be ground flat or may be peened as seen on several originals. This seemingly strange direction of assembly is present on most original pieces. Another feature taken from historical pieces is the quillon block expanding a bit onto the grip.

The handmade grip slabs are affixed by gluing and a row of peened tubular brass rivets.

 

Please be advised; slight variations and differences may occur in the products due to their hand-made nature and the organic materials used.

The products aim to have the aesthetics of historical pieces, not the finish of mass-produced items. Each product bears the signs of its making; small tool marks and imperfections, which do not affect the build quality or usability but give each of our pieces its unique character.

 

The weapon is a practice Messer for sparring and technical drills, perfect for Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA).
