Here is my new toy (a mystery box purchase). To break up the monotony of the silver I added leather wrap cinching it all down on itself so the final result is this...

Thanks, I kept it simple cause I think I'd have messed up anything more complicated. It gives a nice feel to the hilt and being leather it's nice and grippy.

Geod72, how is it for gripping ? I used o rings on my Initiate V2s, and they're still pretty slick to hang onto. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

The leather gives a nice grip to the hilt without it being too slick. If it gets slick with wear I might just re-wrap it untreated side out to give a more textured grip.

Yeah, that was what I was going for. Something to just add contrast and change it up a bit. I had thought about fancy weaves like a plaited bullwgip handle but I would have had to figure out a way to cover the rough ends. I might still give it a go in the future but for now I'm happy.

Thank you for the info Geod72 ! It's much appreciated The leather gives a nice grip to the hilt without it being too slick. If it gets slick with wear I might just re-wrap it untreated side out to give a more textured grip.
