Ok, thanks. I don't want to get into a discussion about sword sharpness here. I wouldn't dare to do that with my sharp longswords. With stury gloves, maybe. Still, probably not. But one could argue that this move is mainly done in armored fencing and the swords used there might not have sported as fine an edge as a longsword intended for unarmored combat.

Though this forum post going quite off-topic, I am glad to see all the responses regarding half-swording. All of this info has been quite informative even if it doesn't pertain to the topic at hand.
Despite the little tension, I appreciate all those who've taken their time to share their technique(s) on this matter.

This is a follow up of some posts I made on this thread regarding not sharpening my blades the full length saying that it gave a convenient holding spot while not compromising the cutting ability and stated some examples and makes the blade somewhat more robust for parrying. Here’s another making for a temporary and convenient carry leaving me with a free hand. 19" back from the tip is razor sharp.   |
