Not just in their personalities, but also in their skills. Mihawk's advice is helpful to any swordsman. Recall how he managed to redirect bullets with a slight adjustment of his blade, that is the subtly I am talking about. As you mentioned, he also wields his blade as easily as if it were one of his fingers, an extension of himself. That is how any weapon should be wielded, it should be used as naturally as if it were a part of the user. Between his personality and his shoddy swordsmanship, Orochi wouldn't warrant any more then Mihawk's knife to teach him a lesson. A shame Hawk-Eye doesn't have a smaller blade to use. As for him looking foolish, there is a way to make foolishness look like competence. I have seen at least one character in anime manage to do this quite well even though the foolishness is rarely his own fault. Orochi on the other hand, doesn't seem to realize this.
