I just read an interesting thread on the armourarchive (meaning I was lurking like a banshee), which talked about greatsworders wielding their blades by choking up past the ricasso, essentially turning the weapon into a quarter-staff or a very short spear.

Is there anything in our rules that says we can't do the same? Can I hold the blade of my own weapon with my own hand? Would it have to be a guantletted hand?
Also, if no's the answer, has anyone built a * sword or great sword with a ricasso in our sport, what would that look like?
Questions, questions dear Belegrim....
