Two Handed SwordsAny sword, which is to be regarded as a two-hander must, by reason of its dimensions and weight, require two hands for its effective management. Hence the blade, as well as the hilt, must be longer than normal. Secondly, the hilt of the true two-hander should not merely accommodate two hands but be long enough for the two hands holding it to be kept apart, in order to give a fulcrum effect; and the greater the possible distance between the hands the more easily could the long, heavy blade be maneuvered for an offensive cut or a defensive counterblow. In the case of the hand-and-a-half sword, however, the addition of the second hand to the end of the hilt, even overlapping the first hand or the pommel, is clearly intended only to add weight to the blow, not actually to enable the weapon to be wielded as such.
