    Leon Paul gun stock grip

    Hey, has anyone ever tried Leon Paul's Moulded rubber 'gun stock' handle with solid Aluminium core? If so, what did you think of it as compared to a leather-wrapped handle?

    The handle I'm talking about is the second from the top on this page.

    I love it. It is thin, but has a great surface for finger control of the blade. Also the natural curve to it means I don't have to torque the pommel nut down crazy tight to get the handle cant I like. It has not worn away, gotten slick or started to peel and I have had it probably 4-6 months on the only blade I really ever use. My favorite saber grip by far. The only thing I wish was a little different is that it were a tad more built up around the pinky for snapping the point in, but that is easily fixed with a little tape.

    I think they're too skinny, personally, but FdN has them available as well.

    I thought narrowness was good in a grip?

    Now you're confusing a grip with a girlfriend.

    Your girlfriend or was it because you hadn't washed your gear in a while and it started talking back?
