I see knife/dagger and sword in one hand/long knife as pretty distinct weapons, but other than seeing a clip from a lesson of

Knife fighting or surviving a murder attempt? The two are as different as night and day. The medieval and renaissance stuff leans towards the second (or to armoured combat, where again stabs and cuts to the hands and forearms will have no effect).
