Doubling

Cutting behind the opponent's blade from the bind by reversing your sword over theirs and continuing to cut toward their head.

This can be done with the long or short edge. In a bind from the right, the long edge cut crosses the hands over and cuts with a short mittelhauw into their face straight on or somewhat to their right. The short edge version uses a winding action so that the cut comes as part of the reversing, with a cut with the short edge to the left side of their head.

The former is described in devices and earlier sources, while the latter is described in the Handworks section of Meyer's text.
