Xas, one way to overcome the "bite" of a wire-wrapped grip is to use a glove on the sword hand. Do you know whether such gloves were used during Spanish Colonial times. It seems to have been mainly a European custom, but we recently had a thread about a female Chinese pirate who was depicted wearing a glove on her sword hand.
