Wasn't completely happy with the way the sabre turned out with the Tsuka Ito wrap, so removed the wrap, and just wrapped it with leather. Once the glue is completely dry, and the 2 surfaces are set, I'm going to add a strip the same width of the clip along the length of the hilt and cover the clip.
Not a fan of the Covertec system either, so have gone old school with the D-Ring set-up, find it's so much easier getting on and off the belt clip.
Whilst removing the paint off the hilt, I also inadvertently cleaned off some of the weathering off the pommel, so will redo that tomorrow after work.
Here's a few pictures of the sabre so far -

Just finished wrapping my hilt with Tsuka Ito wrap, and although it's not perfect, I think it turned out alright!

Wonderful wrapping! It's grand what difference it makes to the Apprentice!

That looks really good. Smiley

I was just looking at Apprentice hilts, and picturing different pommels on them actually.

Finally finished my customisation, a small strip of leather covering the joins, and the D-Ring clip, stops a lot of the clinking of the ring on the hilt!
