Hello Teyon, looking good with nice details.

For a sword to be practical. LOL.
As far as a sword can be practical. LOL.
You need the Center of Gravity of the blade to be inline or behind the extended centerline of the handle.

That is the reason why all swords are bend backwards and not forwards.
A sword with a forward CG is uncontrollable in a swing ( in real life that is)
