Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Messer Blade - White
Our Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Messer Blades are manufactured from our own special blend of plastic to provide strong and flexible sparring blade. The blade/tang joint (traditionally a weak point) is reinforced by a high tensile steel rod running along the full length of the handle. This also removes any flex in the handle traditionally associated with plastic training swords. The edges are left smooth to prevent friction burns but can be roughened with sandpaper for a better bind.

The blade/tang joint (traditionally a weak point) is reinforced by a high tensile steel rod running along the full length of the handle. This also removes any flex in the handle traditionally associated with plastic training swords. The edges are left smooth to prevent friction burns but can be roughened with sandpaper for a better bind.

Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Single Hand Guard - Black
A lot of time and effort went into the design of these guards. A balance between safety, durability and aesthetics is hard to achieve. They are based on an original 15th century historical design. The balls on the end of the quillons allow for a much safer guard with little risk of impalement.

They are manufactured from a very tough plastic which provides a good balance between impact and flexural strength. However, they are plastic and not steel and will break under less pressure than their metal counterparts. If you desire a stronger/heavier guard, we recommend that you purchase a Red Dragon HEMA Stainless Steel Longsword Guard. Designed and Manufactured in the U.K.
