I think this is possible.

Take butter knife, pinch the blade really tightly between your index and thumb and try to push it forward with your other hand. It's kind of difficult, isn't it? Friction is an interesting thing. If the person with the sword had a bad angle and the person holding the sword had enough surface contact, I think it would work. Would the person stopping the sword get cut? Maybe, but it really depends on your contact with the sword. If you use the flats of your hands and don't actually make contact with the edge, you shouldn't. If you curve your hands around it, then yeah, you'll probably get cut. But both blood and sweat can actually be tacky and add to the friction, though if there's a lot of either, they would be slippery, at first. Her palms look covered to me, and the material could also add to the friction. But all of that aside, she's not exactly human, so I'm not really sure what rules apply regarding her strength and imperviousness.

Ehhh, I don't know if it's quite the same. When you're pinching a butter knife between two fingers, you're exerting a lot more force in pounds per square inch on a much smaller amount of surface area, so it's going to be more effective. In addition, most swords aren't as flat as a butter knife. They're going to be beveled - just like the one WW is holding - so it'd be harder to get an even pressure on both sides with the flat of your palms. WW could do it because her palms are protected and she's a demi-god, but I don't think this move would work in real life with human beings.
