If you're gonna bash the neck on whatever you're hammering, then a small curve in it is only gonna delay the neck-strike. Plus it looks like it's got a "knife edge" to it. I think some medieval weapons have that same shape to improve the slicing action....haha. Seems like a gimmick.

It would be hard to track visually. I cannot post froom experience here but I htink I’d have a hard(er) time hitting the nail with the neck all bent like that. It would be hard to track visually.
