Hi Tim,

It's looking like that all right. Could it be because that's the blade shape that will most effectively allow somebody to behead a victim lying flat on the ground?

Thus perhaps the development of the blade shape is driven more by practical considerations, rather than cultural ones.

Whatever the reason, Bill, that's one good looking panabas! Am green with envy

What would be the thickness of the blade at its base? Thanks!
