May I ask why you didn't just pay the extra 10$ to have them wrap it?

If 10$ was too expensive of a leather option…
and you want a replacement for less than 10$…
but you already know that any other option will look and have a shitty outcome in the majority of ideas thrown your way for items that will cost you less than 10$…

How about just sending them an email and asking if they can add a wrap? Boom. Problem solved.

If paracord gives you rope burn, you're doing something terrible wrong, especially while spinning a saber. You shouldn't be moving your hand rapidly up and down the hilt but rather letting it roll across your palm or bridge between thumb and forefinger. Besides, paracord is a very viable wrap option that's used on a LOT of sabers and other swords, knives, etc... it's a very popular wrap, and there are hundreds of different wrapping techniques.

Heat shrink is viable as well, I've seen some interesting wraps made with it, especially when placed over a cord, or O rings, or lace, as was suggested, then wrapped down with the heatshrink. It conforms to the design under it, and gives a really unique and nice grip.

Tennis wrap is an option as well, sure. You can also find leather wraps on Amazon for a lot cheaper. Your choice of language is really... colorful... on your experience with the craft shop...

Also, I didn't say you were BEING shitty, you stated options given to you WERE shitty. Which is rude and disrespectful to the people giving them.

think of an colour absorbing heat and defecting it back ?
black cloth = absorb heat + gather alot of heat on the cloths, that makes the user sweat alot
white Cloths = absorbs heat then defects few parts of it back where it came

if it burns your hand to hold on a wrap while in the sun try use white cloth as wrap see if that helps you not burn your hand if the heat is the issue while outside on a sunny day
