I used it on my Display Wakizashi.

Doesn't look as clean i must admit, but it fits the hand far better.

Thank you so much for this! I'm cosplaying as Yuno Gasai this year, and I wanted to make her katana with that black dress, so thank you thank you thank you! I'll be sure to link you a picture! :3

Hi I'm from Des Moines Iowa in the U.S. and wanted to know where can I find Ito wraps?

this was very helpful!

Cool. Now i need is a wood handle for my umbrella. XD

I'm gonna try this for my Lightsaber, add a bit of flair to it. I'll definitely post pics once it's done, and will deinitely credit you

I think I'm going to try this as well - will definitely link you if I can get it to work

Thank you soooooooooo much! This was so helpful! I just used it for Rukia's zanpaktou and it came out fantastic!

This is going to be super helpful for when I cosplay Raimei. Thanks for making this! It kind of reminds me of lacing pointe shoes, lol.

It's nice seeing people put up tutorials (it's actually the nicest thing an artist can possibly do).

You do however realize, that this is not the traditionally correct way of wrapping the handle (tsuka)?
I don't wanna appear flaming or anything, I'd just have to point it out. If your aim is a traditional look, search for other tutorials around (there are lots) that show the correct (and in my opinion more beautiful) way of wrapping the tsuka.

thanks for this i want to do this for my bokken. does it slip of the bottom easily?

Wow!!!! It was a damn useful tutorial and easy to learn!!

Your tutorial was the first I found while I was searching how to "ribbonize" my Katana handle. It took me about 5 minute to get the trick and in 45 minutes my handle was completed.

Soon I'll upload the pictures, because I still need to finish the blade.

thankyou very much! all the pictures really helped!

thanks for the tutorial! it helped a lot^^ but it's so hard to do I didn't get it as good as you did

Thanks so much for this tutorial! It has just helped me finish off my zanpakutou (funny how a lot of tutorials I looked up in the process for katana making were due to Bleach, haha! xD)
Super helpful tutorial anyway, it's written really well, nice and clear. It's actually the second I tried to use, the first was apparently the more "authentic" way and I gave up, it was too hard Dx So you saved my day there! Thanks again! *favs to spread the love*

Nice tutorial. I was actually looking for a reference to draw the handle. I really enjoyed seeing how you wrap it. Now I know exactly how its supposed to look.

Wow, so pretty. : D

i wish this had helped me but my katana's handle is in such a wierd shape....this dosent work on my sword

very cool! ^^

Awesome. Very helpful.

Sharingan!!! thanks... good guide....

It looks simple enough, but I've been trying it out, and its not working for me. Blast! I fail! Its the twisting part. I try it out, but it just doesn't look the way yours does. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Thats really great. I am tempted to try cosplay myself now.

Ahh....this should be v.helpful ^^
Great tutorial!

I think I'm going to do a samurai cosplay just to use this...
