Certainly it is effective. The shape of the concave "clip" is such as to bring the point back in line with the hilt, as far as I can tell on my computer screen. The edge bevel seems to become somewhat blunter/stronger/more axelike in the convexly curved tip area.
I had a 20th century Visayan sword with a blade shape a great deal like this...
