Yes that is the thing about Messers. Messers and Falchions are both very similair, the difference between them is in the handle. Flachions have more arming sword like handles, with a symmetric grip and a round pommel. Messers have kitchen knife like handles. It was a way for the Germans (who originally made the Messers) to get away with carrying weapons in public.
Here's a link for a picture that you can look at to see the difference between them (and all the other falchions/messers):
