Why are samurai swords curved?
Curved swords are more effective when cutting and slashing while straight swords excel in thrusting. There are actually many swords from different regions of the world that are curved. It's also because of the forging process: the metalulgy behing the katana means that the blade and the blunt are two differant density steels so when the weapon is immersed in water after the heat of the forge the blunt shrinks whilst the blade doesn't thus creating a curve. The curved blade of the samurai sword helps in sliding the sword with proper angle. This curve comes from the process of differential quenching. Also the smith coats the blade with several layers of a wet clay slurry.

Why are most swords shaped like a cross?
Actually, many swords are not shaped like a cross, but swords like scimitars and sabers are curved. As for straight swords, many are shaped like very elongated crosses. The hand-guard at the top, by the handle, is intended to keep your hand from sliding down the blade from sweat, injuring you, and it prevents the other man's blade from hitting your hand. The blade and handle make up the large part of the sword with the hand-guard near the handle end. The shape of a cross wasn't entirely intentional, it just happened to be the most convenient shape to mass-produce, while keeping the hands of the wielder safe.
