I theorize that an upswept blade may not take a straight path in line with my thrust, yes the majority? of the blade will but not the entire width of the blade....I think more of a spear point with equal geometry (on both sides) would create the straightest wound cavity......
I could be way off with this theory but after taking care of hundreds (a thousand??) of stab wounds and getting a description or seeing the blade used (sometimes still in the patient), I think I'm correct?????

Blade makers want to chime in on this theory........

Makes sense to me.
