I can see what you're going for but I'm not sure how effective a straight edged sword will be as a grappling tool; compare to Gambol Shroud which (before being broken) used the kusarigama mode to anchor into place when used for such a purpose; as the blade was positioned in such a way that it was able to wrap around and then embed. In this case you're going to have no anchor and are pretty much relying entirely on friction.
