Had lots of time at hand due to the recent holidays and long weekends in my country and decided to put the final touch to my DSA Black Prince sword customization work (at last!). Had wanted to post this as an update to my original DSA Black Prince Sword review but can't seem to locate that article anymore, so post it here instead. I include the hilt in its original form and the second customization just for fun

DSA Black Prince Sword hilt in its original form:

First customization: Re-wrapping the grip & add four risers:

Final customization: Removal of Black paint on most part of pommel & guard, except for the pattern on the pommel & 2 small triangular sections of the guard near the grip:

Think I like the sword more now

Funny how much little differences change things. And the important part, you like it better this way, always good when you like it better.
	My favorite quotes from Rorschach from the comic Watchmen "Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist." "None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with ME!"

This helps to make your cheap sword, your sword.
	This is an uneducated post consisting of my opinions formed by my browsing and looking for information. All things stated in the preceding post are subject to both being wrong and opinion changing as I wander along this path of learning. ooops got a little to close to the kinect.
