Curiosity Question.

All factors and relative properties are a bit subjective.

Keep in mind that most swords throughout the history had little to do with advanced mathematics and scientific physics. Rather, smiths and makers were using a lot of common sense and experience. Soldiers either liked or disliked, or even used what was in hand to the best of their abilities. More advanced feedback most certainly influenced the makers but the science behind it was expressed in simple terms.

Take a given form (in the strictest context) and give it the best (subjective) properties.

Cheers
