Albion's Knecht Kriegsmesser

Replaced the strange Grossmesser model in the game with one based on Albion's famous Kriegsmesser

Albion's Knecht Kriegsmesser

✨ Module introduction

As a HEMA student and Langesmesser enthusiast, I've always wanted to see my favorite sword in Elden's Circle, my favorite game. However, I was disappointed with the "Grossmesser" in the game - it was a strange, oversized, Turkish Pala-style saber.

⚔️ Features

• **Model Replacement**: Replaced the original Grossmesser model with an accurate model based on Albion Knecht Kriegsmesser
• **Historical Restoration**: Restore the authentic medieval Kriegsmesser (war knife) design
• **Beautiful Details**: Features premium models posted by Julian Blane on Sketchfab

📜 Historical background

The Kriegsmesser (war knife) is a two-handed sword developed in the late Middle Ages and is a two-handed version of the Langesmesser (long sword). Features of these knives are:

• Single edge design (usually with short false edge)
• Knife style handle structure
• Metal hand guard parts called nagel (nails)

-Essentially a single-edged sword with a utilitarian handle

This mod is specifically inspired by the Knecht model produced by Albion, which is a very high-end longsword model.

🛠️ Current status

• The model is still being fine-tuned, and the position of the nagel guard needs to be corrected.
• No unique inventory icon yet
• Extra textures that come with the model may not be applied

Hopefully someone thinks this mod is cool and decides to use it! If anyone wants to improve it, please list me and the modeler as collaborators.
