Decided to make my castille fencing rapier a bit prettier. Heat blued the hilt components at 500°F, and shaved wood off the grip to allow for a good grip to guard transition once wrapped with the cord risers under leather with wire. I think it worked out fairly well and the wire and risers give some good traction in the hand. imgur.com/a/GSoc2e6

Thats pretty cool. Do you just heat it or do you have to apply something on the steel first?

Man that looks cool. I dig it.
Do you twist the wire yourself? Or can you buy it twisted?
