This is a great work. (I am german and this is one of my fav weapons)
In the middle ages only knights were allowed to own and to fight with a sword. So the langes Messer was the weapon of the "normal soldier". And because of "swords" were the weapons of the knights,
they named this weapon langes Messer (long knife).

Not quite, but close, in the middle ages only nobility and dedicated soldiers were allowed to carry swords when not at war, so the everyfolk carried these "knives", these were also popular with knights, since they can be used in a similar fashion to a falchion. People were allowed to carry swords while travelling since it was dangerous.

i really do love these langemessers. probably my favourite type of sword to be honest. the shape of the grip, the crossguard and the type of blade really are appealing. i hope to foge my own one day

Oooh yes, this is a design I don't recall seeing in a long time if ever. It looks fantastic.

What is the difference between a langes messer, kreig messer, and grosse messer?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a pretty unclear subject since messer just means knife, but usually langes messer and krieg messer are interchangeable for the larger hand-and-a-half or two-handed saber-knives. The grosse messer or often just messer is usually regarded as the smaller types, usually for one hand. If you are familiar with the Cold Steel Grosse Messer, that is a bit of a misnomer.

it looks like a nice weapon. Do you have also messers in the type used by LeckΓΌchner or Talhoffer?

Haven't really made any messers lately. Most of these older ones were made on custom order. Would like to add one for use with Durer or Talhoffer though in our current semi-production/semi-custom lineup.

Looks an awful lot like a falchion. A type of it, I suppose?

Not quite. Messer is just knife in German, but the term messer nowadays applies specifically to large war knives that usually had the slab handles and a nagel for hand protection. There were lots of manuals written for messer dueling/combat. A falchion, on the other hand, was often more a footman's weapon. Similar shape but not really made or used the same.

Can you tell me if there's a difference between the langes messer and the messer, or if those different words just refer to the same german self-defense medieval weapon?
(I thought maybe the langes messer was a double-hand sword, and not the "classic" messer)
Love those sword, by the way 
Did you craft it yourself?

Langes translates to long, so langes messer and grosse messer are commonly used to describe the longer, larger messers, usually hand and a half or two handed. Messer could refer to either that particular type of weapon/tool or the one-handed smaller brethren.
Yep, made it for a custom order.
