** So does Zidane from ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''.
** And Rei from ''[[Breath of Fire III]]''.
** And Rikku from ''[[

Line 129:
* Jyuji Kabane from ''[[Gungrave]]: Overdose'' deserves a special mention as he '''[[Dual-Wielding|dual-wields]] [[Cool Guns|gun]]-[[Katanas Are Just Better|katanas]] in [[Reverse Grip]]''', thereby making him an automatic [[Badass]]. He also happens to be an undead, blind swordsman with a penchant for fire, but [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|that's....]]
* Knives in every ''[[Call of Duty]]'' game starting with ''[[Modern Warfare]]'' can only be used in this way - it may be interpreted that the reason for this is a quicker draw, since the knife may not be held out alone, unless paired with a pistol for the [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Tactical_Knife Tactical Knife] attachment in ''MW2''.
* In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'', Pit can split his bow into two swords. He holds one normally, while the other is held like this in order to speed the reattaching process.
* In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' Altair holds the short blade like this. Appropriately, the short blades are slightly better than long swords when surrounded by multiple enemies, drastically reducing the times needed to parry blows, dodge, and counterattack (the downside being less base damage).
** His descendant Ezio Auditore follows in his footsteps with his own short blades. He actually draws and replaces them from his belt in a standard grip, then flips it over in the transition to his fighting stance.
