Getting ready to buy my first saber, but I'm debating the handgrip because I don't want it to wear off or get loose over time and dueling. Anyone who has had one for a while, can you attests that it holds up?

  • Fear is not real. It is the product of thoughts you create. Danger is very real, but fear is a choice.

For which saber are we talking about here exactly? Generally, sabers with the leather grips are incredibly durable and can take a beating.
Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.

The disciple and the oracle, I just don't want the leather to become loose or fall off or peel over time, although from what your saying it sounds like they hold up like champs!

I have not heard any issues about grip quality or durability, so I think you should be fine. However, if you plan on using the saber for dueling, a lot, and for a long time, any material, the grip, the wires, the LEDs, the hilt... anything will wear. Of all the repairs, replacing a grip is relatively easy.
If it's that big a concern, there are plenty of great sabers without wrap, but I admit, I like the wrap.

In 2 years of heavy dueling, the grip on my Reliant never even looked like it was gonna fall. Don't worry about it mate, it's glued there thight!

Had my disciple 6 months now and never had a real problem, it does get alittle flexible when it warms up in your hand but thats the nature of leather, at the worst alittle glue will fix it
