Why did some blades have a rounded or even square tip? Is there a good reason for a design that takes away thrusts as a viable option in armed combat? Matt Easton has one explanation, I have a different one. Let's discuss and see what you folks think.
Would be interesting to know what @DaMonStith has to say about the blade shape of the Takouba. Were thrusts commonly taught with this type of sword?
I tried to keep "pointless" puns to a minimum but may not have entirely succeeded. :)
