Why you might ask? After training with my feder I kept just missing the pell with my sharp. So I made a new grip for the feder which incorporates a disc pommel so it's the same as the sharp. This will effectively shorten the grip by 50mm when using the new disc pommel instead of the original screw on scent-stopper which holds the grip in place, which I'm happy with as I'd rather be used to the sharp's shorter grip length. Wrapping the normal part of the grip is easy, but the disc pommel makes the leather crease and fold over. Any suggestions or tips?

Thanks in advance 😊

Glue or sea multiple pieces together is about all I can think of. Or leave the pommel bare.

Just looked at your other post and saw your in Australia. Any tacky tourist shops near you? Grab one of those kangaroo scrotum coin purses and use that for a seam free pommel cover!

Thank you for your message. The mekugi should have been put in from the omote side, I guess. They are half hidden by the tsukamaki on the other side. Nov 10, 2023 11:07:03 GMT

ziggy: Further to my earlier shout, I had posted in the wrong place (thanks mrstabby) so I have now created a thread in Beginners forum 'help identifying this strange short sword' if anyone out there can help

ziggy: Hi - I am a total newbie and am looking for help identifying a sword I have inherited. I've posted some pics on a sword identification thread, so if any kind person can take a look that would be amazing - thank you! Oct 30, 2023 13:41:51 GMT

ecovolo: Hi! It's been a *long* time since I've posted. I have a question in the fantasy swords section; if folks could take a gander to help answer my question, I'd appreciate it! Oct 27, 2023 4:25:41 GMT

pixelsword: HI all... new here.. I just posted a sword in the Items for Sale forum and see also a Non-professional classified, and am wondering if I posted in the correct place, of if I should post in both for better visibility, or is that even allowed? Oct 25, 2023 3:05:20 GMT
