Grip Style 2

Do not purchase for Hilt Style 5. To me it seemed as though they would fit in the fluted tracks made on Hilt Style 5. I made a mistake in judgement, but this could be made clearer. I also ordered 10 by looking at a glance at the description when Hilt Style 5 has 12 fluted tracks. Otherwise the adhesive is good as a display piece, but could be brittle if the saber is used regularly.

These are great. I've used them on 4 different sabers now and I highly recommend! They don't stick out too far from the hilt body like the other ones offered on the site, and you can cut them to fit pretty much anywhere. If you're using them parallel to the hilt (or, vertically) on a body that HAS NOT been milled, I recommend measuring the circumference, deciding how many you want running around it, then cutting a spacer out of paper or cardboard to set in between the strips to make sure they're equidistant and straight relative to each other. Remove the backing, place the strip where you want, then press and hold each one tight for about 20-30 seconds WITHOUT MOVING IT AROUND! The adhesive they come with allows a little bit of wiggle (which actually makes for a much more comfortable grip) when you really push on them, but they always go back to the place you stuck them originally (which is awesome!)- SO MAKE SURE YOU PUT THEM EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT THEM THE FIRST TIME!
