[The Mandalorian] Question about the spear...

In both duels we've seen with the spear, the opponent had a lightsaber. Why didn't they just slide the blade along the spear and cut the wielder's fingers off? I can understand maybe Jedi fight with honour and its a bit underhanded (forgive the pun), but Moff Gideon wouldn't resort to those tactics? Is it just because the light sabre duellers thought they were better than that?

It even seems possible that it could have happened accidentally.

The spear is longer than a lightsaber. If you slide your lightsaber down the edge of the spear the business end of the spear is now inside your guard and basically a short poke away from death.


Given force wielder's natural future seeing reflexes they probable just force-sensed doing that would result in death. It's a high risk maneuver to attempt.
