    It looks like the middle would collapse if you stabbed something with it? I’ve never hunted any boars or used a sword though

      I think the middle section’s supposed to be pretty thick, it’s not really a conventional blade but basically just a steel rod up until that final section. In a way, this is more like a spear functionally, just externally sword-shaped for noble fancylad aesthetic reasons

      Here’s a different hunting sword of this style, showing off the thickness (and how that section isn’t even sharpened at all):
