Greek Naval Machaira?

I think with most historical slashing weapons the hilt would need some sort of either knuckle guard, enlarged bell at the bottom of the grip, or a large pommel to keep the weapon from slipping out of the sword hand grip. The design in the OP doesn't have that, it looks like a good hard swing with sweaty hands would send that sword sailing through the air into the distance.
