I have found a nice firm leather with a honeycomb finish and cut it into strips that fit tightly into the curtain railing, plus will use contact adhesive to fix in place permanently.
I might also find a rubber gasket to fit on the end of the saber between the screw on ring and rails.

wow that looks amazing. I'm going to leather-up the ones i've got left: I've sold every one with a leather grip, and haven't sold a single one without leather. There seems to be a pattern forming.

Probably the earthy type feel to it maybe, perhaps you should try a tusken raider inspired one and see how that goes for an idea.
But remember you saw it first here, A big bit of brass, some wood and leather for a different one to the ranks possibly.
Also with what I have done with the one you made me it made it a bit easier on the hands for holding onto.
Just an idea out there.
