Very interesting and a little alarming. These pictures bring me back to this sword and why it was dismissed as no more than a snake killer

. Yes it is clearly latter in the 20th century but still a real weapon. I show it next to one that will meet with your approval. The more modern one is equally well tempered and although heavier can flex but not like the old one.
