If you're tired of bad posture at your regular old desk, try an adjustable electric model from Anthrodesk: www.anthrodesk.ca/collections...
Some weapons in history are clearly 1H or 2H designs, others fall somewhere in the middle and can be used with either one or two hands. What if someone has a single-handed sword (or saber or other blade type) and wants to double paw it? Perhaps a character in a realistic fantasy or historical fiction setting in a novel, movie, or video game?
Let's delve into a few practical options, beyond awkwardly wrapping the off-hand around the main hand. Both for striking and blocking / parrying. This is assuming a one-on-one duel or small melee by the way (if you don't have a shield or two-handed weapon plus good armor coverage on a historical battlefield, you're kind of screwed).
