sinous blades are more cruel ?

Perhaps not.

Maybe a hole from a sinous balde would be harder to close up and more prone to infection etc etc. I was wondering if these blades were made this way to inflict more damage or just to look nicer. Andrew says that he believes it would not make any difference. Then why would anyone bother to forge sinous blades at all. Only for aesthetics ? Perhaps there was a percieved difference in damage infliction? Or was this only on cultural or aesthetic grounds ?
