Rounded points on European Swords

[fernando]

Within my ignorance and in a broad interpretation, apart from the slashing reasoning already exposed, i would say that the acute point in a blade can only cause hazardous situations, both to the owner and to his neighbours ... as also to itself, as passive of easy damage. Besides, if your foe doesn't have a cuirasse, you still can perforate his body with a rounded blade point, providing you use minimum technique ... right ?
Even there are various degrees of rounded points; this other sword i once posted, a Spanish colonial specimen, also has a rounded tip, like others from the same family, although not so dramaticaly domed, like the Walloon.
