@Gouveia100 I'm willing to guess that both edges were maintained sharp for atleast part of the upper section, though individual swordsman and smith probably had his own prefferences. You still want some edge towards the tip so it sever blood vessels and doesn't just push them/

@spartan7777777 Nope, it originated in Spain and it arrived in Italy during the time when parts of Italy like Naples were under Spanish dominion.

@spartan7777777 Italy and Spain have shared a lot of things throughout history...

after all, Spain once part of the Roman Empire, and Italy once part of the Spanish empire... This could be said to be a invention of both... although the technique to make them has its roots in Central Spain.
