Overview
Landsknecht Emporium - Blunt Antonia type 4A++ Dussack
This blunt version of the Antonia Dussack by Landsknecht Emporium is purpose-built for HEMA, but it could be used for reenactment, sport and stage combat as well. The blade is blunt and thick-edged all around with a rounded tip for safety. The thick edges give it great durability and allow for safer use. Its weight and handling properties are kept realistic to ensure it is an excellent training tool for learning and mastering the Dussack and its edge is in the form of a I-beam on the edge bevel to reduce weight, but keep the very edge thick - an approach that reduces weight while keeping the edge optimally thick. The blade is crafted from 6150 high carbon steel and well tempered.
The hilt and its tough overall construction mirror the standard Antonia Dussack; the gard and pommel cap are steel and the grip is leather-bound wood. A solid and robust peen over the pommel anchors the blade into the hilt.
Landsknecht Emporium products aim to have the aesthetics of historical pieces, not the finish of mass-produced items. Each product bears the signs of its making; of small tool marks and various handcrafted imperfections, which do not affect the build quality or usability but give each of our pieces its unique character.

The Maker
Landsknecht Emporium
The Landsknecht was the archetypal mercenary of the late 15th and most of the 16th century, with their heyday being in the second quarter of the latter. They were pretty much the meanest & baddest soldiers around that time, with a heightened sense of fashion. Our goal is to create weapons a period Landsknecht would be proud to use, mostly on a budget that keeps it accessible to modern recruits.
Due to the continuous research we are doing, we sometimes stray from that time and location to better understand trends that led to the development of weapons we aim to recreate. We are progressing from simpler items towards the more complex ones. We started with making Messers in 2016 and it was our main focus in these past few years. We intend to cover most of the styles relevant to our interest, while we’re planning to expand our repertoire with Katzbalgers, Bidenhanders, various daggers and all kinds of awesome stabbiness in the foreseeable future.
We founded Landsknecht Emporium to this end in March of 2016 in the outskirts of rural Hungary, at the end of a dead-end dirt road in a house not unlike those of murderous hillbillies in the movies that we call home.
