early 1700s English swords

Have i not seen this chart before ? .
Not so easy to figure out what the 'CUTT' term is, most probably old English, even lexicon, that i can not relate to Portuguese terminology. But judging by the specs and the period in question, these would be blades for cup hilted swords. Those were what abounded by then; you can see everyone holding one, even portraid Kings, during the war of restoration 1640-1668 ... and long after. The 48" length is o.k. for these swords ... and within the law. Assuming these lengths in the chart are for the blades including the tang, this corresponds to 'little' over the full (1539 law) sword length, which was 5 palms (spans)... although we know these were 'regularly' exceeded. Concerning the width, 7/8" to 1", this seems to be that of non military cup hilts. As for the 'HOLLOWS', we certainly assume this means fullers. Over here we call them gutters (goteiras), following the famous jazz talk:

The names «bleeder» and «gutter» are alluding to a supposed effect, attributed to this type of notch on the blades of white weapons, of promoting the bleeding of the victim stabbed by the weapon, by offering a channel through which the blood could circulate to outside the body, while the blade was lodged inside the victim. In theory, they could also be used to combat a putative suction or suction effect that could be provided by sticking the blade too deep, which would make it difficult to remove the weapon from the victim's body.
However, such effects have never been scientifically confirmed, and the medieval accounts that mention them are currently believed to be mainly apocryphal.
