The term 'SWORD's handle' is composed of two words, HILT (4 letters) and HAFT (4 letters). The HILT is the handle of a SWORD, usually made of metal or wood, and is used to grip the SWORD. The HAFT is the part of the handle that connects the HILT to the blade of the SWORD. It is usually made of wood, leather, or metal and is designed to provide a secure grip for the user. Together, the HILT and HAFT form the handle of a SWORD, allowing the user to wield it with precision and control.
