The simple hilt form allows for a varied amount of grips and is even portrayed in a strike while gripping the blade (a maneuver that seems odd at best). The simplicity of the hilt does limit the amount of hand protection, but this is somewhat remedied by the flaring blade that forms a lower guard that functions like parrying hooks. An interesting sword type that is a must for students of European swordplay. Comes with scabbard.
