Good stuff, bud!

What do you think of Tsunami wrap?

The tsunami wrap seems like pretty good stuff. Time will tell. It was pretty easy to work with. The folds in the wrap seemed pretty easy to create and the material has some stiffness to it that helps it to keep its shape when pulled tight. Lots of color options to choose from as well. I have some leftover material that I thought about putting on another blade to get a more long term idea of how it holds up.

It does have a seam that runs down the center on one side. If you do the wrap correctly the seam remains on the inside of the handle and is never visible.

The material is suede-like and likes to collect particles or grime from your hands so best to work in a clean area with clean hands.

At this point I would not hesitate to use it again.
