Tsukamaki (handle wrapping) is something that anyone can have a try with a little patience. First there is the core of the tsuka, a type of hard wood which is covered with the rayskin (same kawa). The ito is wrapped and twisted around the tsuka. Ito is usually made of silk, cotton, or leather. A tsuka that is eight inches long requires 120 inches or 10 feet of wrap. Here are some detailed instructions on how to do it.

Very good illustration on a katana wrap. I have done so along with many other types of weaving such as bowstrings, and various types of knots. A katana wrap is like a long knot with multiple folds in it, yet very beautiful when done with symmetry. Interesting that the beautiful and highly intelligent design is actually more functional, for it allows large areas of the hand's flesh to press into, grip, and not slip, even when wet. Of all the swords in the world, the shape of the katana allows for both, slicing and stabbing. The katana certainly has my vote for the world's best sword.
