Theoretically XVI's should have more lenticular section in the fullered part and have a reinforced diamond section only from the end of fuller to tip. XVIII's should be like that through the whole length. I just go from memory here so maybe I'm wrong... I think you're exactly right. That's the way I read it too. Seems like you could think of a Type XVI as a hybrid of a XII and a an XVIII.

Luka, you better be careful or you might get adopted by the forum as our oficial Oakeshott Typology Consultant. just kidding but your understanding of the typology has been quite impressive lately. have a karma for good studying.

The cutting video was amazing. I like the sword, looks like it's made for the battlefield.

In looks, this is one of my new favorite swords. The combination of the matching curves of the edge taper and fuller as Shootermike noted, and the crisp, straight line of the ridge past the fuller make it really striking.
