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!

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.

Not only does this look good but I like the texture of the leather as well; very nice juxtaposition  Smiley

Thanks. I wanted to go natural vs metal to get just that kind of contrast and I think it does work really well Smiley
