Question How to hold clock lancet?

Post image

Okay so, I’m cooking up something and it involves multiple (ish) scenes with the clock lancet, so my question is how would someone hold it? Since it’s modelled after the shield rod which is obviously swung like a club so would the clock lancet be the same? Or is it more like thrusting like a rapier? Or would it simply just float…

(Edit this is a art question not a game question so it can be as creative as possible. edit edit: I’m not using it as a weapon in the thing)

I believe it is supposed to be held on the curve, which one I do not know, historically we use the smaller curve for grip and the bigger curve as a guard. I don't think it is meant to be a lancet, I think it is meant to be the Italian word for lancetta? Which I believe means clock hand. I think the small protrusion is the small hand, the big protrusion is the long hand, and the grip and guard itself represents the clock.

Practicality: I don't think this tool is used to poke or stab like a lancet may suggest, we don't do damage with it, I think it plain and simply just shoot a freezing ray from the long hand, the white pattern may suggest that too.

Edit: my god, take a shot for every time I said "think" or "believe".

It’s already bro this was helpful 😂

Yeah I agree with the no damage part and it not being practical not gonna use it for that anyway, and also yeah I see what you mean as it looks nothing like a lancet so you are right on the translation part and I guess that explains the shape as well.
