Hello Philip,

Quote:
The blade profile is correct for a Qing era short saber. They don't all widen towards the tip, regardless of length.
I wasn't looking for a wider tip (much less anything like a niuweidao) here.

However, in the middle of the blade (red arrow) I believe seeing a sudden decrease in width to about 90% of the basal half of the blade. Do you think this really is intentional?

Regards,
Kai
