They are frequently crafted for decorative purposes, mainly because making them is more complex than forging a standard straight sword. However, that undulating blade actually makes them easier to cut with. Ever wonder why some modern kitchen knives have those tiny serrations? It’s for the exact same reason: improved cutting efficiency.
