Shamshir Hooking Thrust?

Well said regarding ability vs. purpose, Wolviex! Certainly for more deeply curved shamshirs, stabbing would be possible but not desirable. However, many shamshirs have the yelman/false edge, demonstrating that they were not only able to thrust, but in some measure intended and expected to.

Which miniatures did you look at? Finally someone who has sword miniatures! I've been waiting since my first post for this!
