I can see both sides of the argument about the dangerousness of the Macuahuitl being double edged. I am in agreeance that I don't like the spikes at the end as they seem to serve no purpose.

But let me add a bit about macuahuitl's; they're two handed. This means that when you swing it at someone, they're not going to block and push it back at you, they're going to block and tilt it off to the side. They also have better control, strength and stability behind each swing because you've got both hands on the handle. You lose out on being able to do super fancy moves and super finicky stuff in very close quarters in exchange for realy heavy attacks that don't get pushed back at you.
