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!

Ouroboros: Fascinating. Our weather in Ottawa is guided by the arctic jetstream. When it dips low under james bay. Ontario gets smoked with cold. The great lakes provide an incredible ammount of lake effect snow that usually buries anyone along the St Lawrence Mar 1, 2023 16:20:31 GMT *
