Even if the sword is completely one-sided, that spike near the end looks like it'd be enough to slit his throat. Opening up an artery in the neck doesn't really take all that much, and it is a serious, immediately life-threatening injury. Plenty of people have successful killed people with razor blades not much bigger than that spike.
