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.
Amici Armis is proud of being sponsored by such a supplier of the international HEMA scene, helping the community to have access to safe, yet awesome, equipment.

The idea of PACO System was born in 2021 by the founders of the Gaudiosa Esgrima Histórica school, after researching about the scabbarbs and corroborating that its use had been lost in time. There began a process of study that has led them to learn and grow in this discipline. The name comes from a play on words that was forged at the time when the first version of the PACO was shaped, as it serves to PACOlgar the sword, thus baptizing our project with the name of PACO System.
PACO System is born from the extensive experience and practice of Ancient Fencing for more than a decade. Being currently fencing students allows us to check in situ the feasibility of their project. The goal is to renew the idea of the scabbarb to facilitate training and competition.
