Just saw the photos - that's a beautiful thing u have there. Looks very Kama Sutra too, and I guess a sword is needed in the boudoir? :-)
On the subject of curves - no curves: the very famous sword known as the 'Washing Pole' had no curve at all. I think with more research it could be possible to find instances of straight blades and/or curved handles.
I believe the straight handle and curved blade is a good general rule but that exceptions were made (at least the Washing Pole was exceptional).
I am really curious about this.
