    Default Anodizing or Powter coating?

    Which is more durable and comfortable on the hands?
    This is what I have in mind for my MHS saber,

    anodizing. since it colors the metal and not just coating it.

    Both are extremely durable.

    The real issue is feel. Anodizing is coloring the metal and powder coating is basically a paint. So anodizing will feel like a metal while powder would be much slicker.

    Also for assembly sake anodizing is easier because it adds no thickness.

    I think I'll go with anodizing.

    The saber is actualy built and used, I just came up with this idea. You can see what it looks like on page 117 of share pictures of your saber here topic.
