Created by Manipula himself with the intention of both elegance and protection, Manipula created a curved lightsaber to better utilize his preferred lightsaber form, Makashi. Being a form with many similarities to fencing, he also equipped a crossguard emitter to help protect his hands.
Strengths:

• Can cut through many materials with relative ease.
• Curved hilt makes it harder for opponents to parry
  Crossguard emitter protects his hands from incoming strikes

Weaknesses:

• Cortosis will short the blade if in contact.
• Crossguard emitters and curved hilt make it more difficult to hold with two hands

Curved-hilt Lightsabers, did not overtly make parrying the weapon difficult. While it allowed one to be more precise with Makashi fighting style, and even mentions the usage of twisting the wrist in order to change the direction of attack.

This is not a strength.

Curved hilt makes it harder for opponents to parry
