“From the length of the handle I would think that it was not a two-handed weapon.

There is such a thing as a "bastard" sword, or hand and a half sword.

That quote was not mine, I quoted another user. And I agree that there are indeed two handed Swords. A lot of Asian Swords were designed to be used two handed.

But I also agree with who I quoted with that, the handle of this one is too short to be used with both hands on the handle. But that doesn’t keep one from adding a second hand around the base of the blade at the hilt for extra power. :)
