A sword swung through air will swing through its initial trajectory unless redirected to the side by a force applied from the handle. A sword swung through water, in contrast, can change its trajectory with a slight twist of the wrist, with the force applied at the blade. The flat of the blade acts like a rudder, which is more effective in a denser medium. Applying a force to redirect the blade provides much more torque when applied to the blade instead of the handle. | |
