{SIHlu'chu'ta'} might make it clearer that the bend was
intentional and part of the beauty of the blade.

Or:
wa' DoS yIbuS. wa' DoS yIghoSchu'.
Other more plain alternatives:
wa' ghoch neH yIghoS.
ghochvetlh neH yIghoS.
wa' lurgh neH yIghoS.
lurghvetlh neH yIghoS.
naQjej He yIghoS.
yIghoSmeH pu' tIH yIDa.
pu' tIH yItlha'.
Need I go on? There are so many options open to you. Open
