Neat stuff! 
 
eftihis, 
 
I wonder how much of that shape is due to a preferred pattern, and how much of it is due to the fact that, in Mediterranean climates, shrubs and trees with hard wood tend to have curving branches, and making a straight wooden sword would require more work than simply flattening a curved branch? 
 
Great to see these!  Anyone have an example of the magila from the Canary Islands? 
 
Best,
