Hi David,
Except for the narrow socket, I agree with you.
That socket is a huge exception, though. If the head was on an iron shaft that small, I'd be happy, but a wooden shaft a centimeter across? That seems a weak thing to thrust with, especially in a fight. And since the socket is asymmetrical, it would be tricky (not impossible) to have the force of the shaft travel through the lip of the socket, rather than the inside.
Fun to discuss though. I'd love to get a better inside diameter on that socket.
