When Aragorn used this advantage he would generally have used a one handed attack. The length of the blade also gave Aragorn further reaching distance. This counter attack would have normally been two handed. More often then not this blow would knock the foe off-balance giving Aragorn an opening to strike again. He would use the power of his opponent’s own blow, and return it upon them by mmeting their blow in the height of their swing, and redirecting it upon them using the length of his blade to full advantage. This was well suited to the style that Aragorn used in battle greatly influenced by his Elven upbringing. The sword was designed to give the wielder a greater combination of strength, reach and quickness. The blade was narrow and reached four feet from the steel cross guard to the very tip. He carried the sword of a warrior rather than that of a Ranger of the North and this reached close to five feet in length. When the hobbits first encounter Strider he carried with him an array of weapons.
