I like the Kris style, and the Flamberge Style blades as well. Also the Old German Greatswords were awesome stuffThat coffee table book they had awhile back at Barnes & Nobles about swords had a picture of one.  Well I am prolly off for the evening. Hope you have a good rest of the evening.Oh and to answer your question about wavy blades ( Sword Breakers, and the Flamberge) from the West. Prolly because the East had more time to perfect the blade were as in the Dark Age england, France, Germany, and were ever else the blade were not necessarily meant for precise swift combat but rather for solid heavy blows.  While still well made it wasn't until the Renaisance that the West began to infuse its sword design with finnese instead of loping heads off in mind.A couple of other swords I really like from Burtons book is the Dao ( One step above a Falchion), and the Executioners blade which looks alot like a giant Ginsu knife)</blockquote>
