Ilia has shown you can store an entire blade length in a very small area: plus if you study the picture, the mace head is quite vertical with multiple layers of spikes which become the quillons on the sword.

As for the swords cutting ability...it's based off a standard european sword. The long, straight ones with two edges. I don't think it needs a curve to be used effectively as a sword at all.

There are plenty of polearms with tip-weights in them.
