So, points to cover are: Exact length, Damage, Striking speed, and (Arguably the most important) It's Name!!
Starting with length, the average sword length is 2 1/3 feet (0.7m) considering nova knives have a 1.5m range at around .38m in length, we can assume your arm is 1.12 m? that's ludicrous. but for the sake of consistency, we'll set the range at 1.85m.
all is good?
There is a reason you never see me in battle.
it's because I see you first.

Sounds fine for a hypothetical idea. If it were at that length, what do you think is the best damage progression, and should it retain the ability to charge?

The Makhaira actually looks very Amarrian when you consider the design. Amarr aesthetics feature a great deal of curvature and flowing symbols. The Kopis and Kukiri represent more aesthetically true examples of what I imagine the Amarr would employ as weapons, especially because blades in the modern New Eden are essentially redundant assets.
Hell even looking at the Falcata design the weapon almost looks too elegant and curved to be of Matari make.

That is quite true. I could definitely see the Amarr with a blade like that, though the redundancy of blades isn't as prominent as you might think. This is because, from a realistic aspect, many deals and negotiations would be carried out in person... A blade of some sort is easier to conceal at these times. The sword is also a reliable weapon on the battlefield due to it's ability to perform silent kills, making it perfect for Amarrian scouts...
