Well, this has more or less cleared it up. Having the blade strike at an inwards angle does indeed reinforce the strike; though i think i've found a different way to reasonably slip the damage.

As for the throw, i guess i'll have to stick to the way it's written now?

Yeah, if you have a method of avoiding the strike it won't matter much Sigurd is doomed regardless.
