I don't think we should judge mechanics till we've an expert opinion on what the WSE could do with forward-curved weapons.  As for aesthetics and suitability I like the concept.

dmg trigger hitbox is always gonna be a straight line, if not why do axes and scimitars still have ghost reach, before hit effects, and not blunt dmg on shafthits and hiltslashes?

There's lots of possible reasons.  That's why I suggested that this conversation be put to one side till an actual expert comments.

First version done! Kind of bored tonight. It's abit edgy, not the perfect shape, but that'll come with some fine tuning. :P

This looks very pleasing to my eyes :shock:
Just do not forget that it's a daggerlike weapon.

If this is supposed to be a falcata: remember, the BACKside of the sword describes a SINGLE arc, it does not arc back on itself towards the point. The FRONT of the blade describes 2 arcs.
