Hilt or guard is acceptable.

It upgrades the guard, yes, and makes a sword bind easier to win. It's still not a sword-breaker.

"binding and winding" is a common thing in european swordplay. katanas will do it occasionally, but most schools will tell you not to.

Go check out falchions and gross messers, you'll find a kind of guard called a nagl (nail) that resembles the guard on corvo's sword.

As for the the halo sword... i dont know where you get the idea that it's made for disarms. that is in no way a true statement
