Apparently. very flexible Pata blades were popular among the Mahratta irregular cavalry, the Ghoracharra.
They attacked their enemy en masse, delivered one or two strikes and rode back in a hurry.
The flexibility of the blade decreased its lethality, but prevented it going deep into body and easy to recover.
