The Peter Messer from Regenyei Armory is a fine training tool for HEMA; robust and durably crafted, it is still balanced and weighted appropriately. The blunted blade is made from well-tempered 51CrV4 Spring Steel with a tempered hardness of 49-51 HRc. The blade is fairly stiff and rigid and according to Regenyei this makes it suitable for historically accurate technical practice, heavy drilling and light and controlled sparring utilizing proper edge alignment. The spine and base of the blade are suitably thick and the blade overall exhibits sufficient distal taper to keep it balanced nicely. The guard and pommel are steel, with the grip scales being of polished beech which are triple brass riveted directly to the blade tang for a very strong hilt construction.
