By my phrase 'reversing the grip on the pommel', I meant how Daud holds the blade while in stealth mode.

@Piko: With his left arm extended, it is possible to hold the blade reversed (as in Stealth mode) and tuck his right arm under and behind Corvo. Then, while holding the blade horizontal to the ground, Daud could conceivably swing his arm backhanded (left to right) thus plunging the blade through Corvo from behind.

As I said though, very awkward... and while plausible, it is not the best positioning.
