Title: Malice, Manticore Hockey Tape wraps. Post by: Ealotech on February 16, 2014, 07:00:37 PM Hi saberforum
I recently acquired The Malice Saber. As Emory said, "It's a Beast" and it is 100% beast! Anyway I notice when handling the hilt. The hilt was very heavy and may slip when dueling the saber. It felt it need some sort of grip. I look around in saberforum and found out hockey tape would be a great choice because it is easy to apply and doesn't add more bulk on to the hilt.

When I wrap the hilt, I wrap and pressed into the creases around the switch then I used a Xacto knife and carefully trimmed off the base of the switch, then tuck/pressed the excess tape under and around the switch. =)Title: Re: Malice, Manticore Hockey Tape wraps.
