In the late Middle Ages, both urban growth and the rising of the middle classes led to an increased demand for a civil weapon of defence. At the time only the aristocracy were allowed to carry double edged swords. The so called Langes Messer (= long knife, also commonly translated as Messer in English), is an extended version of the German Medieval Bauernwehr, and emerged as the weapon of the common man. Unlike the Saber like grosses messer (also called grossmesser), which made its appearance at around the same time, the long knife had a straight, single edged blade. However it often featured a so called false edge or reverse edge at the tip and had a double edged point.
