Description
The revised handle wrapping tutorial. This time, you can learn how to do the ending knot too, just like in actual japanese swords! Recommended for swordmakers, duh.The wrapping material I used here is craft ribbon, 9mm wide. It can't compare to the proper handle wrapping tape, but it still has a great feel and an authentic look. My advice, if you're looking to use ribbon: get the textured ones instead of the smooth ones for a better and stronger grip.

That's an awsome tutorial, but where'd you get the sword handle?

Bought it sometime ago in a weapons shop in Japan. Made of plastic.. its not exactly a proper handle, but it works well enough for tutorials.

I just wrapped a sword handle with ribbon for the first time using this tutorial and it was really helpful!
Took me a couple of tries to get the twisting it under to work properly but i'm happy with how it turned out.
Thanks for making this tutorial!!!
