Sorry for necrotizing this old post. I hope I am not being too remedial by stating that removing the pommel would also allow for more wrist movement and reach. Tulwar hilts to me feel like they are designed for cutting are distances very close to user. Operating like giant butcher knives at distances around 24", 60 cm vs a Portuguese rapier blade that likes distances closer to 36", 90cm or more.
