Line 108:
* Used in ''[[Dragon Quest]]: [[Dai no Daibouken]]'', for the 'Avan Slash' attack and other based on it...Dai does this with knives, short swords and BFS alike.
* Grey Fox of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' holds his katana this way.
** Snakes (as in Solid (Old) and Naked (Big Boss)) hold their CQC blades this way, but that makes sense as it's in their off hand and it's basically dual-wielding, but with a firearm in the strong hand. Big Boss actually talks about it in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'' when he's whittling the grip on his shiny new 1911.
* Baiken in ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' does this with her katana (which is her main weapon -- she doesn't have an offhand weapon because she only has one arm, but she stuffs a lot of weapons in her other sleeve [[Inspector Gadget]] style). In her case, however, it's partly out of practicality and partly out of habit - she lost her right arm, which was most likely her dominant arm. Considering the weapons crammed into her right sleeve, a sheath there might get in the way, and so she wears it on the left, usually drawing it in a reverse grip because that would be the easiest way to draw it when the arm and sheath are on the same side. Of course, some of her fancier [[Rule of Cool]] steps in.
** Can't bring up ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' without mentioning Sol's fighting style, too.
