SpiritedDreaming wrote: The same way the soldiers and knights used to grab their swords by the blade without cutting their hands open - very thick gloves. There is this historically correct move called half swording, which involves the user to hold the blade. And I can tell you, you won't cut yourself. This can be performed without wearing gloves or gauntlet. If you try to stop a blade that is hacking towards you, without gauntlet you are guaranteed to lose aura.
