The difference between one-handed sword and two-handed sword

Differences in usage, attack range, flexibility and skills.

1. Usage: One-handed sword is more suitable for one-handed operation, and two-handed sword needs both hands to be used at the same time.

2. Attack range: Because the single-handed sword is operated by one hand, the attack distance is relatively short. Two-handed sword, because both hands are used at the same time, the attack distance is longer, and it can play a stronger attack power.

3. Flexibility: One-handed sword may have an advantage in flexibility, allowing users to attack or defend faster. Two-handed swords may be slightly less flexible than one-handed swords because they need to be held by both hands.

4, the use of skills: one-handed sword and two-handed sword are also different in technical skills. For example, one-handed fencing is represented by saber and swift fencing, while two-handed fencing is represented by German long fencing and Japanese kendo. Although a two-handed sword can use the lever principle (the right hand is the fulcrum and the left hand is the prying force) to quickly switch between attack and defense or change the attack direction, it may be more difficult to swing it with one hand without changing the blade width and forcibly increasing the blade length.
