The traditional english long sword was straight but wasnt designed for piercing.
I was thinking that maybe a sharp blade would rely my on slicing rather than wacking to instill its damage thus a curved blade might do more damage. A dull blade would need to get as much force into the hit as possible. If a curved blade was used some of the force would be lost as it would be pushed out instead of straight into the target. Therefor the better the make of the weapon the more you should go for a curved blade. Any thoughts on this?
