Seax and HI

Nobody has to like a SEAX. But broken sword? Would a sword have that much belly?
The SEAX having the tip towards the edge makes it a finer tip than on a Tanto. Some might need that for detailed work others want to penetrative car doors. Both would probably fine for softer things.
Having the tip more forward also allows for easier stabbing when looking at human ergonomics and wrist joints.

I am in no way disputing the functions of the HI Seax. That is not the reason why I am avoiding the knife so I'm not sure why you're defending it to high heaven in that regard when I made it clear that it's the look that is a turn off to me.

This is what it looks like to me, a sword sliced sideways which turned into the HI Seax. That's why it's not appealing to me because it psychologically makes me feel like it's a broken sword by design. That's all. :)

If that was defending to high heavens than your post was certainly condemning to low hells. Though both weren't that agressive if you ask me.
I was just stating facts to complement your opinion. Some people who might be put off by form might still appreciate a thing once they come to know it's function.
If you aren't one of them, thats totally cool with me.
Just thought some more information on the Seax might interest you. Either way you might agree that it can at least benefit others not to only read an opinion from one person and then also only about it's looks?
 
LadyEarth, perhaps these types might be more liking for you. After all you are a lady. Just please remember your male counterparts can fail without intent.
