Ballock blade shape
Hi, friends. I would like to know your opinions about a blade like this in a ballock. Would it be historic, plausible? I never saw a ballock with a blade that way and I wondered if it would be acceptable to make a ballock, with historical basis, with a blade like that. Thank you.

yes that is plausible.
i only would remove the grove.
and make the blade smaller with the same lenght.

I see. Thank you, Sir. But why to remove the grove?

From the look of it, it's actually a very thick triangular pointed piece of steel, perhaps a Japanese yari spear head or a tanged arrowhead of some kind. Note the "front", "side" and "back" underneath each profile.
Now if you're only going with the "front" profile, you probably want to make the "ricasso" between tang and blade a good bit shorter. Otherwise I see no issue with the profile.

Hi Ricardo,
Just out of curiosity, where did that blade come from. Who made it?
Cheers,
Andy
