>>132921744>Grip guard>On a axeStupid, pointless AND useless. An axe's advantage is that you can easily switch the sway of the blade with the grip, unlike a sword. Also, you won't be parrying anything, unlike a sword, where you are expected to use it to defend yourself with.
Trying to parry or block with a curved blade weapon that leads to your body or arms is really fucking stupid.
