Quote:Did he mean leather thong wrapped over the bone/wood grip though? I can't see leather directly over the metal tang of the sword...that would compromise the construction of the entire hand grip assembly I'd think.

I've heard of stories of different soldiers from different eras and cultures wrapping a type of cord around their sword grips to decrease the likely hood of their hands slipping off during a bloody battle.

Look at this in detail...
