Hey,thats pretty cool....but unfornchantly i wrapped my handle a little different....i cut out squares out of thick leather and then punched out a space in the middle,and slid them rite on to the tang (with glue of course) then i shaped the handle ...its pretty tough but looks kinda rough.So i was wondering what would you put on it to preserve and make it look atractive :D
