I don't know about you guys, but I'm planning on not getting hit.I'll let you know how that works out.
Since they had to re-wrap the jute cord when they replaced the blade, methinks I should add a protective wrap around the grip and here is what I came up with and I cannot believe I didn't think of this before! I got it on sale too and in my 'colors'

I got it on sale too and in my 'colors' This stuff worked out really well! It comes with a pair of rolls so I was able to wrap both the Meyer and my aluminum sword. I had to re-wrap the Meyer as I had the windings too close together and the surplus leather actually messed up the balance of the blade a bit, but a wider wrapping method provided the necessary protection yet didn't compromise the balance. Of course you can't anchor the end as you do a bicycle handle bar so a bit of glue and cord wrap overnight does well enough.
Why post a picture when you can see and feel with your own eyes on Sunday!
