This is a test and review of Adorian by Landsknecht Emporium, a 15th century Messer. Quite an impressive piece of craftsmanship, especially for the price!
It’s a compact design, perfect for a commoner’s everyday carry in the Middle Ages, as both a tool and weapon. As a reproduction it impressed me with its excellent handling, remarkably tight fit, and formidable cutting power.
