12/13/2016 Single Whip posture with weapons
With the Ky Lin knives (technically, swords as both edges of the main blade are sharp) it is something of a question what exactly the enemy's descending blow will strike - the crescent-shaped guard or the blade itself. Of no small interest is whether the blow would shatter the guard and reach the fingers with enough energy to cause serious damage. Whatever is delivering the enemy's lower blow is going to get slashed - can enough control be kept of the unicorn blade to counter with a slash into the enemy's knee and thigh? It would likely be a stretch to reach the enemy groin or lower abdomen, but the blade would be poised to do serious damage. The wind fire wheels are not an easy target, so we should expect that most of the time there will NOT be much immediate damage from either of the enemy's attacks. Whether you can counterattack with any effectiveness at all is hard to say. In my experience, with the wheels configured as shown they are not much of an offensive threat.
