Watch it again, Khev. Luke is double handed the whole time. When he says you'll find I'm full of surprises he swings to Vaders left, using both hands, and Vader hits his sabre across to the right separating his left hand from the hilt and Luke is crouched down and forced to block Vader with only his right hand. This then allows Vader to disarm him which forces Luke tumbling down the stairs.
Vader uses both hands at two points...when he starts force throwing equipment at Luke and it breaks through the window then once they fight on the bridge.
Luke relies on fighting with two hands while Vader toys with him by only using his right hand. When Vader grabs with both and the empire march comes on in a "oh f@@@" moment and Luke gets tossed around. On the bridge Vader beats him again then severs Luke's right hand. The point being that Luke failed to defeat Vader with and advantage and he now is at a disadvantage.
The hand being severed is critical for Luke. It was a moment where Vader had defeated him and took away his ability to defend himself. He used this to try and pull Luke to the dark side. When Luke does this later to Vader, he chooses empathy over power and throws away his own ability to defend himself to show mercy to his father.
Luke never fought with a single hand.
Or are the black fins supposed to be rubbery? I played with a friends real graflex hilt and it definitely didn't feel like it was meant to be help from the bottom. Kinda looks like it though.
