Making a Cord-Grip Knife Handle pt. 2

This is how I prefer to cord-wrap handles. The cord is 550 olive-green paracord, the knife is a 1/4" thick, 7.75" long (3" blade) blank made of 1095 high carbon steel that I'm working on.

Post what you'd next like to see in a video in the comments section, or in PM's. Hardening, Tempering, Sharpening, attaching/shaping a handle, etc. Just let me know, and I'll do what I can to oblige!

Check out the youtube page, and website of Dave Canterbury of the Pathfinder School - you won't regret it!

very cool, i'll be trying that

[johnwyatt27]

Hey was just wondering what size drill bit did u use?

[RonRay]

I would love to see knife making in general, but the process from blank to finished grind and bevel on metal reduction or the process of forging and grinding, if you still do that. I remember the pathfinder blade you made for Dave way back and still have covetous fits over that knife!

I just noticed that this video was uploaded December, 2008, so it's been a while since you've done anything publicly. (It's now Feb., 2012) ... Hope everything is copesetic!

I realize this is a response to an older video but I hope you are still reviewing your presentation. My question is whether you have tried other materials or even a slightly thicker cord in wrapping a handle, and how did it work out?

This was very instructive and thank you for posting.

That thruly helper me, it does an awsome grip and gives a cool look to everything, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it without making hole in the knife, because I would like to do it on a tomahawk handle.

Thank you, and please answer.

hey man thanks for this video one of my knives i recently got had this style of paracord wrap on it but the para cord broke and these are the only videos i could find on this style of wrap.

I have to agree this cord wrap is by far the best cord wrap. I have tried different cord wraps , That was a good demonstration on how to do the knot I liked the knife shape as well
