A straight blade or a curved one?

How about you make it bulkier, a little thicker, and a little shorter with the straight swords? I would imagine it would be more useful. This allows it to cut and thrust very affectively, and it also means that the user must go through a series of regorous strength training exercise to build up muscles to be able to use it well.

I think if I was going with something that you would use to stab someone, I'd go with a lance. Ones with just the right length, not too long not too short, so you can use it to bash someone in the head, face, nose, teeth, with long penatrating point so you can us it to cut someone like a sword, also. This was how the Siamese liked to use a lance on horse. I think with a lance once the initial charge has been lost, it looses its advantage. Using them in a charge would be useful, but for some people like high ranking commanders and his guards a heavy sword would be more useful, since they would not see much action.
