I read about broken back seaxes with less dramatic slopes on a site, I think it's called hurstwic or similar. I was wondering if any of these saxes had a tip that curved ever so slightly forward, like a less dramatic kopis or kukri. Anyone have pictures of something like that?

Never seen any, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are numerous shapes of sax. The spanish falcata looked much like a kopis, and may have been in use in some places during the viking ages.

Thanks for all the links, +1 to both of you when I can. Pretty fascinating how seaxes seem to have been in large part dependent on individual and local smiths and as such have so much variation. That Grimulfr blade might be among the most beautiful blades I've ever seen. Must say I love those blades that have a slight taper at the end, like a beast's claw.
