  • In this tutorial I demonstrate how to make a paracord axe handle wrap.
    It is made in a quick deploy fashion, which means it can be completely unraveled in a matter of second when needed.
    For those familiar with the chain sinnet, this is going to be quite familiar.
    A photo tutorial on this wrap can be found here:

    Did that on a small prybar (1 foot long nailpuller). After the finishing knot I worked the end of the cord back under the wrap with marlinspike and curved hemostat pliers. Finally, put the whole thing into a breadmaking tin and poured boiling water onto it. The heat shrinks the wrap. Most likely ruins the cord, but for the wrap, it is very useful.

      The fact that all 3 of us came here looking to do this for our prybars makes us real brothers
      I did rubber bands under the wrap for hand comfort

    Thank you for this video! Clear and concise instructions. This wrap looks fantastic, and when tightened properly, it doesn't move. It's a little hard to start when it's all loose, but once you get a couple loops through it becomes much easier.

    I used to do a variation of this kind of thing when I was a kid except we called it "finger knitting" if we did it with string or wool yarn. It can be used for shortening /strengthening a piece of line. It made for some strong, though rather bulky line.
    Thank you for this excellent demonstration.

    Thanks man!! Just got a Hults Bruk axe for Christmas and this was a nice way to add a great handle grip. After an initial subpar first try the second attempt worked perfectly. Couldn't have done it without this well made guide!!

    I have watched your video two times now. Thank you very much. It is the most usable, purposeful handle wrap, if you will. I have an axe, and I have a big camping knife, and this is the way I’m going to do it. Thank you very much again.

    That is a nice axe and well worth putting the handle in correctly. You would need to remove the wedge first, then remove the handle, and re-insert it correctly.

    Ok I already do leather wrapping for custom lightsabers. I'm looking to expand the wrapping I do with paracord. The wraps would have to hold up to full contact dueling(sword fighting). Am I wrong in assuming that this is a good technique, and you can still Turks head knot it at the ends correct???

    Howdy. This was very simple to do once you figure out how to secure the first knot....was wondering if there was a way to do it on both sides....I have a crkt kangee tee hawk and I think a double sided version of this would be perfect if I took the scales off as it would have a palm swell making the polymer stock handles kind of bunk imo....if so that would be great if you could do a video or link me to one!!

  • @davidmistoffelees8459
    @davidmistoffelees8459 6 років тому +1

    Your videos are the best knotting videos that I have ever seen; you work slowly without obstructing your work, display each step clearly, and follow up by positioning the cord in an orderly way to prepare for the next step. I have used your videos for awhile, not just for paracord, but for hemp and cloth, and other materials as well. Specifically, some of your work flow, greatly simplifies making these knots; anyone searching for DIY instructions on the same knots that you make will be bogged down by extremely complicated methods like using pins to secure a knot in 15 places before crossing a single section of cord and then unpinning, flipping, and pinning again. Lastly, you don't aimlessly mumble and mutter in order to extend a 5 minute video into a series of 10 videos lasting 45 minutes each. Thank you for your contribution to this craft.

    I've just made a good job of doing this wrap on a ceramic sharpening rod and here are my tips:
    12 feet of cord makes a 4" wrap on a 1" diameter rod
    Use a piece of sellotape to hold the vertical strands in place while you do the first couple of loops
    Smooth jawed needle nose pliers are helpful for tightening up each loop
    You can pass the working end back under the wrap using a slim lacing fid and hide it
