I like your hilt job too Toney. Looks really good. I'd be scarred taking apart my sword grip myself for customizations. I need to practice on some dummy swords first if I ever did. |
Don't be scurred :D Seriously though, I HAD to do something with this one since I had punched the pommel through a desk and it tore the origional leather a bit and put the pommel at a VERY noticable skew to the line of the sword. But, in the end I chose to dive in on this one since it is not one of my Albions, and if I decided I wanted to do it again, or really get into it more, I will regrip this one (I don't really like the color but it was the only leather I had layin around)and or I will get a couple cheaper swords from another maker like Windlass. Actually that might not be a bad idea to get a couple of those since they all seem to be under 300.00 for the most part.
