Holding melee weapons backwards?

[AbnerKadabra]

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is by design but I've finally come around to asking. Is the way some weapons are held correct? It seems they aren't oriented correctly for efficient use in battle... it seems to only occur for two-handed weapons. I've attached some screenshots for reference.

Thanks.

in the arsenal, melee weapons are shown in their blocking stances, tenno seem to favor surface area over having a stable grip when blocking, but it isn't exactly "wrong," and in combat the lethal faces of the weapons point at the enemy as supposed.

the Khopesh sword skin that's bundled with deluxe Inaros is actually held the wrong way around if compared to it's historical counterpart, and this has faced some criticism from people.

Aaaah, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
