My understanding is that flyssas were used virtually exclusively for slashing, which will go along quite well with the comments of the contemporaries about absent stabbing technique in arab and indian swordplays.
Indeed, the point is weak, and the absent guard would allow the hand to slip off with stabbing. However..... Any evidence of stabbing anyway?
