You said your Instructable was on "How to Wrap a Samurai Sword Handle", and this is not the case.

You showed everyone how to wrap a cotton/nylon string onto the saya (sheath) of the sword. This is where the sageo should be, not handle wrapping. The sageo is a very important part of a katana, especially if you do Iaido/Iaijutsu. This instruction is pointless, and would do no good for anybody that wants functionality or authenticity emulated in their katana/bokken.

Sure, your instructable was of some help, but, the handle does not have the loop hole that the saya has for the sageo, so how is one to finish the wrap if one does attempt to wrap the handle?

Please show how to finish the wrap on the handle, rather than showing how to tie a knot around a loop on the saya.

Wow. Constructive criticism much? Everyone has a right to say what they think could be improved on an Instructable. Even me. Even you

I wasn't hating. I was just trying to be helpful. As I pointed out, these instructions are good, just not for what they are stated they are for.
Japanese military history is my thing, especially arms and armor. I was just trying to help.
So, I'm sorry if it came off as mean.
