Skill level.

The description of the various weapon skills will tell you what you can use them for. Off the top of my head, for example, if you have Swordsman 1, you can use Class 1 regular swords (e.g. Varangian Spatha) both one-handed and two-handed, and you can use Class 1 greatswords (e.g. the Kureimoa) two-handed only. If you have Swordsman 2, you can use Class 2 regular swords in any configuration, Class 2 greatswords two-handed only, and Class 1 greatswords one-handed.
