Queenie ❤️🏳️⚧ @alysnoire.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I don’t know much about the behavior of wood over centuries but could it have been a straight blade that’s warped over the years? Then again why would it warp in the most stable direction? 110
Dr Jo Ball @drjeball.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I don't know enough about how wood ages either, but pretty much ever other wooden sword found still has a straight blade, so I think this one was made like this originally 110
Queenie ❤️🏳️⚧ @alysnoire.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Makes sense. It is interesting though. Were they training with other cultures weapons, or was it a freedom blade (another commenter mentioned) and it was made in the style of the owner, or… It’s so hard to work these things out without context :/ 000
