Looking for some suggestions for type of leather to wrap a sword or knife handle with. The actual handle will be wood but want to wrap it with leather. Any suggestions?

I would use 2oz. veg tan. Case it, then wrap tightly, let it dry.  If dyeing, dye before casing.

I have also heard of using shark or stingray to get a rougher grip. Ne experience myself however.
