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.
