Except the whole "no real pommel" thing.
Up until the moment some noob other than the owner picks it up and goes and punches someone. This is the same "I could use it safely" arguement that comes up all the time. If a weapon could be unsafe in someone's hands then it shouldn't get passed.
What's stopping some noob from not stabbing with a sword you have now that isn't stabby? This sword isn't stabby, because it has no stabbing tip. Your sword isn't stabby, because it has no stabby tip. Some noob picks up this weapon and stabs with it because it's real life counterpart had a dagger tip, some kid picks up your sword and stabs with it because in real life swords are pointy.
