  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Grosses messer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A grosses messer (meaning great knife, also called langmesser or hiebmesser) was a type of German single-edged weapon, similar to a falchion, that was used between the 15th and 16th centuries.
grosses messer, or simply messer was the term used in the 15th century, and the weapon's 16th century continuant was called dussack.
A common characteristic of the Grosse Messer is a substantial slab tang with sandwiched scales of wood or horn attached with rivets.

One such example of a weapon evolved to specialization is the Grosse Messer (meaning "great knife"), a single-edged sword sharing characteristics with both the falchion and the saber.
Not having a specific example to cite, I think it's fair to guess that, based on the blade shape, overall size of the piece, and the existence of a sole side ring, Cold Steel is trying to represent something from the late 15th century.
The Cold Steel Grosse Messer certainly is not a finesse cutter, however, as its heavy weight prevents it from being very responsive to anything but a fully committed cut.

 Grosse Messer
Known throughout Germany as the “Big Knife”, the Grosse Messer hails from central and northern Europe where, in far-off days of old, noblemen and peasants alike relied on it to protect hearth and home from the ravages of brigands, cutthroats, outlaws and other assorted characters of ill repute.
Due to its stout, wide blade and generously sized handle, it could be wielded in one or both hands and was capable of shearing through chainmail or cutting a man in half with a single strike.
For convenience and safety, the Grosse Messer comes with a strong, handsome scabbard crafted from wood and covered in fl leather.

 The Association for Renaissance Martial Arts :: View topic - where to start for messer
I guess that does make sense most of us probably would have differentiated by the use and handling, i guess like in the old day's to me a sword is a sword and how to handle it is the more important thing.
I found 26 messers and 14 falchions, ranging from the 13th century to the 17th (most were 15th or 16th century).
The messers were always longer, usually at least 36" in overall length) and had more narrow blades, and longer guards, and usually have some kind of knuckleguard, often shaped like a clamshell or sometimes just a ring.

 Grosse Messer is a sweet sword. Why don't more make it? - Sword Forum International
The grosse messer is what would happen if a katana bred with a bastard sword.
Heiße messer is German for "hot knife", often a euphamism for cutting ability ("heiße messer durch die butter").
My understanding of a "messer" is an evolution of the falchion-- whereas the falchion was fitted to a sword hilt (cross, pommel, and a grip that sandwiched the slim, sword-like tang), the "messer" was fitted to a knife hilt (slab tang, wooden scales for a grip, with an integrated, low-mass "pommel").
