This sword is the reason I beat Gwyn on my first playthrough. Just wait for an opening, do a quick stab (even from significant distance), and go back on the defensive.

The ability to switch between sideways strikes (good against enemies with vulnerable legs, or fights where locking on is a liability) or vertical strikes (cutting tails, hitting enemies from below, or hitting flying enemies) by switching between 1-handed and 2-handed is a godsend as well.
