Prelude #39
 
Theme: Hexagram:
  C major    Chien "great danger"

Usually sabers come with the handles wrapped and so do some swords.
Shields, spears, staffs and some swords have bare wood. For those who prefer the feel of a wrapped handle it is possible to use wraps originally designed for tennis racquets and golf clubs. The objectives are a secure grip, some protection from vibration and managing pespiration so the wrap does not trap moisture and minerals (salts) on the handle. Kung Fu Direct sells wraps for $1.50. We are not sure why no black, white or gray.
