You could use a ranger band/bicycle tire innertube, and put the paracord over it, in fact it would probably be better since the innertube would keep the paracord from slipping & moving around.
Good ole whipping knot works for many many things, making a grip, protecting a handle and so much more!! I do this with all my walking sticks and had randomly thought about doing this to my axe to protect it.... didn't know that it was such a common thing lol
Hey Paul great video keep them coming... before you permanently whip that handle, make sure you sand it down real real good and apply at least five or six coats of boiled linseed oil. I know you're probably going to do it anyway but, just thought I'd mention it take care buddy
That's a nice feature to put on my Viking style axe. Thanks for the idea Paul. As with leg wraps (putty's) I would do it other way round, starting the wrap from the slimmer end of the to be wrapped bit up towards the axe head, to prevent any loosening up...
Thank you! I used this to wrap my bong but I have a tomahawk in the post that I'm gonna do this to as soon as I get it out of the box. Most rope tying videos are hard for my but this was easy. You earned a sub!
Did this but hated the feel when choking up. Removed the para cord, ended up putting a double layer of bicycle tubing on. Took major effort but works perfectly.
Without doing this axe handles eventually need replacing, I know. By doing this regularly an axe handle should last a lifetime. I will start doing this, thanks.
As a righty I like the under laying knit part on the right side to shape the handle in the style of a right handed Japanese knife. (Round on the left side with a peak on the right side)
Thanks for the tip. I have the same axe (great minds think alike). I put a couple of ranger bands on mine; one over the over but it looks ugly to be honest. I think Ill try your wrap. Another great vid Paul.
Put the paracord over the ranger band, double protection & the rubber will hold the paracord in place, make sure you get the type iii 7 strand mil spec paracord, the wal-mart 550 paracord is 5 strand and isn't guaranteed 550lb minimum breaking strength, plus it stretches, mil spec doesn't. 👍
Perhaps it is just me, but even at 50% speed, this video confused me. I appreciate you posting to help and I am not talking sh*t. Idk, it's late. I'm tired. I just need more steps. #ExplainLikeImFive
And if you ever have a hair line crack in your wood, you will never know it and you can snap your axe head off ….the wood will crack over time and there is no way to inspect your axe handle thanks to you wrapping it . Not smart
Great video, thanks for the instruction! I've wrapped my hatchet immediately after watching this video. And it looks really great! Thank you!
Definitely going to try this. I normally use inner tube but this seems nicer looking and more durable. 👍

Clicked on the video, grabbed my cordage and wrapped my axe as you spoke! Nicely done sir. Great tutorial!
I'm going to order Hultafors Hultån axe and will do this protective wrap immediately! Thanks a lot for this useful video! Greetings from Lithuania.

Nicely shown mate! I'll have to try that on my axe cheers. atb

If you use a pair of vise grips to hold the loop ..it keeps the loop straight and tight ..loop on head end ..tighten ...trim and I crazy glue

Just done this to my axe .. thanks 👍
A bit of super glue will definitely help to keep the cord in place, cause it will slip in time.
gOOD VID pAUL! tHANKS.
Good Lord Bruv. Quit smoking lad!
LOL i don't smoke. I just put the microphone in a silly place
Thanks
If youre splitting a good amt of wood the force always unravels the cord
thx
Wrap electrical tape around that and that's what I'm all about...that's a good one.

Sounds like a heavy breather on a crank phone call. :) Just kidding...
In my first work I always used Woodglut plans.
Why are you breathing like James Gandolfini?
I have sorted my mic out now lol
500th like
Thanks 👍
Did it today! Pic on my page 🤘

Painful to watch.
Thanks
Face the sun when you shoot a video. Backlit is the worst. Nice looking wrap otherwise.
Thanks
Thanks
