Japanese Handle Wrapping

[jstubble]

Can anyone tell me where I can get instructions for wrapping Samuari sword handles? I'm having trouble finding this information on the Internet. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a DVD video on the wrapping technique, including menuki usage. This stars Kirby Lambert.

If you look through the newsletter archives of the North Carolina Custom Knife Maker's Guild, there is an article written by Scott Slobodian on Japanese handle wrap. There is a more modernized version of the article in his new book "Sword Art: The Masterworks of Scott Slobodian"
