First Impression: Practice Messer from Purpleheart Armoury

Synthetic trainers are a common tool for HEMA practice, since they are cheaper than steel, require no maintenance, and are basically indestructible. On the other hand they handle differently and don't bind well at all.

Here is my opinion of the nylon V4 messer and V3 kriegsmesser, as well as the blunt steel messer made by Viktor Berbekucz.
