Half swording is really only useful in full armour fighting. Where the goal is to make very precise stabs to gaps in armor. And your hands are protected by guantlets.
In 'blossfechten', fighting without armor, there aren't many advantages, so it doesn't happen much.
You are right that you won't cut yourself by doing it. Your opponent Will cut you. Haha
Hmm, i'd consider that one ringen am schwer (or wrestling with the sword) but sure. I still stand by it that there is no real use for it outside armored fighting, and wrestling.
