Weapons of Mughal Emperor Akbar

If you have a look at the plate shown in post 3, I am wondering why some of the blades are so long.
Look at no 26 Jamdhar Doulicaneh and no 32 Jamdhar Skhlicaneh. They have two or three points, but I am wondering if, when you try to stap someone, the stap would stop quite early - or a very big force would be needed, and they would be no good against mail armour.
So why did they make Jandhars like that?
