Thickness of the steel is not everything one must take into account the type of steel being used and the heat treatment used on the steel. I'm sure the African piece shown is functional but I can see some warping from the top view the finish of the blade is pretty rough and I am wondering if it has a springy blade? If I was going into a combat situation I would still want my sword to have a 19th century European saber blade rather than a reground machete blade or one made from some mystery steel.
