A hit from a hand-held weapon counts when the weapon's striking surface lands with sufficient force. Light taps, grazes, glancing and sliding strikes do not count as sufficient force.

Many have waxed poetic on what it means to deliver a sufficient strike. Ultimately, what is and is not sufficient force is decided by the player who recieves the hit.
