Overview
Landsknecht Emporium - Lyse Byknife
The Lyse Byknife is the same knife that Landsknecht Emporium includes for its premium Messer and Kriegsmesser scabbards - but sold separately here and a great option for someone who wants a finely crafted late Medieval / early Renaissance utility knife or a byknife that can be used to make a custom scabbard. These By-knives are not tacked-on "value-added" items of dubious quality, but well-crafted knives in their own right and eminently useful right out of the box. The blades are sharp 6150 high carbon steel with care taken to give them a thick spine and even some distal taper. The tang is quite thick and the full-tang hilt construction is completed with grip scales of hardwood which are triple-riveted directly to the tang.

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.
