Such as blades not being 100% straight, a mistake in the forging process, a dimple in the blade, etc. Swords from the 1600s onwards seems to have survived in the best condition so I guess my question pertains to them specifically.

So when you look down a blade you're going to see variations in fuller depth, dimples in the surface and ridges not quite perfectly straight. Also keep in mind that past ideas of 'good enough' don't match with modern expectations. I think Matt Easton and others have made videos on this that can much better explain it that I can here. |
