Synthetic Leckuchner Messer

Blackfencer simulators tend to be balanced well and slightly lighter than their steel counterparts, and the same is true here. Blackfencer elected to go slightly overlong on the grip, which pulls the balance back to just about right. I think it could be slightly shorter and may experiment with that in the future, but as designed it is plenty competent. This one acts more like the lighter, tapering blades that it emulates, so if you are looking for greater blade presence, look at the other two offered models with heavier blades. Aside from that, the sword is constructed securely from quality materials and feels like a messer. It pivots correctly and thrusts cleanly. If you don't want to commit to steel, this is absolutely the go-to range, but I advise you to be sure of your preferences before selecting a blade shape.

Well balanced, little to no flex in the blade due to thickness/fuller but this is not a problem with proper restraint in spars. Very durable blade, stands up even to the BF montante, even people wailing on it with the BF kriegsmesser and feders dont leave marks. Worth the money compared to other synthetic messers out there.

I can now practice sword play in my house! Granted that I be careful not to bash in anything fragile of course.

Love it. Absolutely love it. Shipping was quick, product is amazing, grip is a little longer than expected (my own fault) but it's been excellent in both solo training and sparring against synthetic sabers so far.
