A straight blade will make a deeper cut but it's more likely to get stuck in a bone.

I have an issue with this. A straight blade will smash the victim, while a curved blade will cause the blade to cut deeper. Case in point, the samurai sword, the scimitar and the kukri. All three are legendary cutters.
The straight blades of the west were developed as mainly piercing weapons because of the armor that they had to defeat.
