Handsome sword Edward. I have seen these more straight edged Kopis before, was this design used by a certain people or age? Most (but not all) Kopis I see usually bend downwards a bit

It is a little straighter than most of them but I like it.

I did find this picture. It does have a mixture of curved and straight edged examples.
