Steel paramerion blade: the tip is rounded, but it has a thrust attack!

Fine steel paramerion blade: it's a saber blade but still has better thrust capability than straight swords. And it has lower cut damage than swords. Something isn't right here. But if you reduce or remove the high thrusting ability without giving it to other blades, there won't be items to fit the top orders.

Many two handed grips appear between one handed smithing parts. For example Bound fur two handed grip. There is no reason to use long grips on 1h swords. Those would be for 1h/2h use and that category belongs to the 2h weapons.

Simple bastard sword: unfortunate name, nowadays 1h/2h swords are called bastard swords. Simple Arming Sword or Simple sword would be better names if not taken yet.

2h axes: The advantage of bardiches should be the high handling. As I know the higher the handling the wider is the damaging surface of the weapons. Bardiches have wide heads, so it's easier to aim with them. Narrower axes could deal more damage because they concentrate the force on a smaller surface.

There aren't daggers without swing attack. Real daggers are all about the thrust.

Star falchion blades (Star Falchion Blade Head, Pointed Falchion Blade) are too good. Their incredible size fits even the anime style well, they should be reduced by about 20-30% to make them more in line with other blades, and more believable as weapons. The lack of thrust is not a hindrance but an advantage.

Falx blades have very high damage and no disadvantages.
Star falchions and falx blades went out of usage, so standard swords and sabers must have been better after all. Slowness could be a counterbalance.

Engraved Backsword Blade and Highland Decorated Blades are far superior to any other tier 5 one handed sword blades.

The damage of axes is too low. There is no reason to use axes over swords, especially in case of one handed weapons.
There are even 2h axes with 68 damage (simple sparth axe)! Even one handed swords deal more.

Better hilt components should give some advantage, I explained the issue here in detail: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/smithing-suggestions-1-71.450127/#post-9785261
 
The weight of mallets are underestimated. They are 0.7 and 1 kg in the game. The lighter one deals more damage than the heavy one for some reason which is odd itself.
I was curious and searched the net:
3.1 kg https://hamerhandel.nl/product/sleg-rond-model/
6 kg https://www.ebay.com/itm/154461919751
6 kg https://www.agradi.com/kerbl-wooden-mallet-6-kg.htm
3.4-3.8 kg https://www.ebay.com/itm/353050465468
Btw they are called mauls and not sledgehammers. The ready weapons are called sledgehammers in the game. Sledgehammers have full metal heads.
