More sword questions.
The more I read and study up on swords as I have been dipping my toe in the water of making one.
Directly related to the Wakizashi Im making what geometry is optimal on these blades?
Do I need to grind in a little swedge like in this pic I pulled off the web?
Or can I leave it flat, does it add strength, does it reduce weight?
Im hoping some of you guys like Matt G., Ben Tendick or Storm crow might be able to weigh in.
