More like a goosequill. It has the secondary edge near the tip which willowleaf sabers lack. The curve does seem to start relatively early like a willowleaf. However a lot of modern blades do mix up features of different historical types. I stand corrected. I thought willow leaves could have a false edge also, my mistake. I have to admit I'm quite confused with the typology of Chinese swords. I was reading this thread on the GRTC forum: forum.grtc.org/viewtopic.php?t=423and Philip Tom seems to indicate that back edge is a common feature on willow leaf too. Under liuyedao: "2. Backedge: Most blades have them, but some do not. For those that do, the comments under YANMAODAO are applicable. " I'm really new to Chinese swords and it's frustratingly difficult to find good information on them...

The differences between Goosequill and Willowleaf can be quite confusing as features 'typically' found on one can be found on the other. This is especially so if the curve is very slight.
that's part of the charm of seeing and trying to classify antiques, there's always an oddball!!! ;D

This is especially so if the curve is very slight. that's part of the charm of seeing and trying to classify antiques, there's always an oddball!!! ;D I think part of my confusion rises from the fact that I don't really have access to antiques and - as you mentioned in your previous post - many modern blades mix features rather freely. I would have classified this Kris Cutlery dao as a willow leaf because: 1. It has an even curve along all it's length 2. The blade has a side ridge 3. It has curved hilt On the other hand the overall curvature is very slight and the blade is in many ways closer to what I imagine as a "typical" goose quill... Well, maybe in a few years I'll get it right.
