The KK 5012 is a German fencing manual authored by Peter Falkner, probably created around 1495.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. Dierk Hagedorn notes that the text was written by two scribes: the passages about the longsword and the messer come from one hand, and the sections about dagger, staff, pole weapons, longshield and mounted fencing from another.[2]
