	Hilt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The hilt of a sword is its handle, consisting of a guard, grip and pommel.
		In full armored battle, however, the grip was often only used with one hand (even on two-handed swords), and the blade was gripped partway up, thus allowing the fighter to thrust the blade horizontally, with both hands, into the opponent.
		The tassel or sword knot is a lanyard - usually of leather - looped around the hand to prevent the sword being lost if it is dropped.

	Marine Officer Sword Knot information
		The knot is attached to the sword by passing the small end through the eye in the pommel and securing it to the hook above the large end of the knot.
		Both strands of the knot are then looped in a clove hitch over the rear hilt at the cross guard, next to the acorn, and drawn taut so that the large end of the knot hangs free and does not fall below the upper brass rings of the scabbard.
		The sword blade has a double channel from the bottom of the etching to the point of the blade, and all exposed surfaces are either polished stainless steel or heavily nickel-plated on a copper base, then polished.

		The hilt is the handle of a sword, and consists of the guard, the grip, and the pommel.

	Sword of T'ai Chi Ch'uan
		A sword fight requires a level of violence and a mental state not many civilized people would want to have, paradoxically we use it as a tool of self- cultivation.

		Because the sword is not a clubbing weapon, small circular movements are normally used to slice, nick, cut and thrust.

	Sword Forum International - Functionality of tassels on WW2 Samurai Swords
		Tassels can be easily switched from sword to sword and reproduction tassels can also be added to WW II vintage swords.
		I've also seen some fun Chinese wushu and Taiji sword techniques which had the tassles flying around in fun ways, but I think that's more for show (and being able to control where the energy is) than as any real martial technique.
		It seems to make sense, since swords were not the primary weapons of that war (guns were around after all), that these tassels were primarily for designating rank and for MAXIMUM VISIBILITY when rallying the troops (charge, withdraw, etc).

		I have recently acquired a Royal Navy pattern sword from around the turn of the century.
		The idea that the crown changed with the change from a female to a male monarch in 1901 doesn't really wash. I've seen numerous examples of P1895 and P1897 Infantry swords with a VR basket and a blade with a Tudor crown, often also with a VR cipher (see pic).
		It sounds like my sword is definitely post 1901, but I would guess not too long after that.
