Adding Hooks to Swords

I'm not talking about details as broad as whether it is one or two handed in normal use. Swords commonly used with one hand encompass short, medium and long in A Matter of Inches. That's the sort of thing I'm talking about. The GURPS rules support a large amount of detailed differentiation of swords. It's highly inefficient to try to replicate that through a series of weapon mods and it's highly unrealistic for swords to suddenly lose an incredible amount of rules support for variations that are still possible when you add a hook if you opt to not add the amount of mods necessary.
