Personally, I think pointed swords and scythes should offer both slash and puncture damage depending on the strike you execute. Vertical strikes for sythes use the tip to penetrate the shoulder and horizontal strikes are used to slash open the stomach. For swords you get vertical and horizontal slashes but penetrating thrusts (again, pointed swords, not Galatine which would have impact on thrusts). But I don't think the game mechanics and combos are just there yet.
