Is it true that people with slimmer/weaker builds are better off using blades with more of a curve as opposed to a straight edge?

No. ;) There can be lots of exposistion to follow, but it'll all boil down to "Sword and/or blade shape is determined by Culture, not science" There are valid reasons for one shape to be better at a given job, but that seldom takes first place. For example you can build a blade to be very good at draw cuts, and slashes (say a Tulwar) but a given fighter is Far more likely to adjust his or her "style" to the blade, than to custom order something.
