As a woodworker, I’ve always made the distinction between a radiused edge and a chamfered edge. Historically, a chamfer is a small flat bevel cut to soften an edge where a radius is a rounded arc cut to soften an edge.
I take your point, Bill. The Kris is indeed more round than flat at the corner. I guess I was reserving the radius idea for whole scales, like on the Shaman.
It seems that the appropriate term for a scale where the entire surface has been rounded would be “contoured.”

Yeah, “contoured” is the term that eluded me.
