That's a very... angular design on the sword. Doesn't look very comfortable to wield, although there is a benefit to having it thinner on the same plane as the blade, as that helps with edge alignment. About as short as a short sword or a large dagger. And the blade looks uniform in thickness, which would create a more choppy blade, more like a machete than a regular sword, but on the other hand the guard is so chonky it would draw the balance closer to the hilt.
