* The side-handle baton and the Okinawan tonfa it is derived from are designed to be used equally with reverse and forward grips. The reverse grip braces the shaft of the baton against the forearm, protecting the arm and providing a stronger block to incoming strikes. The foreward grip provides more leverage and range when hitting things.

** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'': [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Pit]] (as well as Dark Pit in ''4'' and ''Ultimate'') can split their bows into two swords. They hold one normally, while the other is held like this in order to speed up the reattaching process.
** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'': [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Roy]] was changed to hold his sword in reverse grip for many of his attacks, in an attempt to declone him (and eventually declone his Echo Fighter Chrom indirectly in ''Ultimate'') and make his Sword of Seals look heavier than Marth and Lucina's Falchions.

*** [[VideoGame/Persona5 Joker]] wields his knife this way when in idle and for most of his close-quarter slicing attacks. Its also lets him indulge in showy WeaponTwirling when he switches grips for particular attacks.
