Im not quite sure what you mean, exactly. There have been several times
when the handle of a bat'telh has been used to strike an enemey, ie, to
'pummel' him/her, but that is not unusual. A weapon regardless of what
type (hand to hand), is only an extension of your arms and hands. You
need to be able to use the whole weapon no matter where the blade is,
including the handle/pummel when striking.
