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 the great video, wrapped 1/2 my walking stick with 500 paracord (has firestarter string and fishing line inside wrapped paracord) for survival situations.

I love handle wraps. They can make something so cheap look so beautiful.

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.

Wow. So simple and looks great. Thank you.

This video really helped me. I'm making a survival axe and wasn't sure if I should put a paracord handle on because I didn't know how. But this video really helped me out. Thank you so much

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.

It's like a japanese"katana sword"

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.

If you take the time to really pll each bite really tight, the wrap will not move even if placed on a slippery plastic handle. Very nice! Worked perfect for my Fiskars hatchet!

Got the X7 or the black one? I just got mine today actually. How funny!

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 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.

I didn't go way down on the comment list. Two things; One:good simple instructional. Was to the point and clear. Two:thanks for not trolling and making a stink about this man's accent. Keep it up, bro! 👍😎

I just did two of these after watching your video, the first one was practice (actually done on a knife sheath) and the second one turned out perfect thanks to your help!

Great video: clear, concise, nicely composed & lighted! Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial. I had never done any paracord wrapping and needed something to finish a walking stick. With your help, it turned out great. Thank you so much, you really helped me out!

That's exactly what I have planned, on the off chance you see this, how did it turn out?

Thanks for the video! Great instructions. Made my 1st bushcraft mallet and wrapped the cedar handle. Looks and feels great.

i love this wrap, no feeding it through, and quick to unravel. easiest one to learn so far! i'll be using the shit out of this one

Thank you. Very informative. I just finish wrapping a hatchet. Perfect instructions.

Excellent tutorial. I’ll be making a protective collar using this method. Thank you very much.

Wonderful wrap. It's on the handle of my backpack and looks terrific!

Great tutorial, I've been looking for a new wrap for hiking sticks and I think I found it here! Thanks.

Great video. Think I am going to make one of these on my old Estwing maul that used to have stacked leather handle. Last piece finally came off. Guess it done pretty good rolling around tool boxes and shop since new in 83’

Thanks for the instruction! First time I've tried this and your video explained it well. I've been turning some hickory and ash bats and will apply this technique to the handles. I also have some bokken (wooden practice swords) that I will try this on. Thanks again for taking the time to post this!

Great video ive looked at plenty found them confusing left my head spinning but this video I found very informative best ive seen not rushed showing in detail great job 👍

You’re very good at explaining how to do this. Great job!

Great instructions and awesome wrap. Thanks for posting this

I am impressed, simple and effective, thankyou!

Very good, well done, I learned something new and useful, thank you.🖖😎👍

Used this to make a new handle on my slingshot. Thanks heaps!

This is my favorite so far. Using for some extra flair on my motorcycle clutch and brake levers...

this has been very helpful! I am making my own katana handle from a small axe handle, and love this look with it! I will probably do the sheath in paracord as well!!

One of the best look and serve its functuoj!easy unwrap! Gj!

This is great. Thanks. I am going to use this to wrap the handle of a suitcase I use for flying to identify it.

Thank you! I used this on my mtb! It looks sweet and it is functional!

Excellent wrap for quick paracord recovery and use ! Good instructional ! Wulfy

Thank you very much for your excellent explanation. I will sure make this on one of my axes.

I love these videos! Thanks for posting

WOW, very nice and easy!!! Traditionell-Skills rule!!!

Ahh a tightened birds nest rope coil essentially! Ive made quick bracelets of this technique as well 😁

Thank you so much. This is totally awesome. I am definitely adding this to my "to do "list. You make it look easy but I know I will be in for a long haul but it will be worth it. Especially if it comes out anywhere as good as yours. Thanks again. 😊

Great video Easy to follow Thanks

I bought a Cold Steel tactical katana, but it came with an awful grip. It was like holding a chainsaw blade. I used the information in your video to warp over it with much more comfortable 550 paracord and now the sword is AMAZING and I have about 45 feet of paracord if I really need it! Thank you for your video! :D

+Gh0sTr3C Hey! Glad to hear you find it useful! Mark

the instructions on this are so clear i think ill remember how to do it when i actually have the cord

Thank u...i learn now...practice makes a man perfect

Very cool. I used tape to secure the finishing loop to the handle until I wrapped down to that point.

the music at the end is in tiny pinball game app. it took me a few minutes to recognize. thanks for a very useful video!

Very nice! Thank you for sharing!

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.

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

Awesome, thank you very much for sharing.

that's cool and pretty easy. thanx for sharing!!

Very nice, always wondered how that was done.👍

So THAT'S how you do that! Thanks man!

Beautiful wrap but the head of your axe looks a little upside down

Great video very informative many thanks for sharing

nice vid man i was looking to do this and now I can. thanks.

Saving this to make sure my axe has a nice grip for the apocalypse👍

EXCELLENT !!! Thanks a lot for this

mine didnt look that good but thanks to u i was finally able to do one of these

これはスゴい！ カッコいいし、実用的ですね！

Great video.

Great work

Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for the vid! I appreciate it!

Awesome. Thank you!

Great video! Saludos

awesome video

Awesome vid!

for anyone wondering, an entire axe handle like this done from top to bottom would take about 35 feet.

great video my friend!

Tanks for posting!

(Pushes glasses towards face) After further examination of my attempt I can conclusively comment that the knot must be at the opposite side of the handle of the video. The knot stops the ergonomics of the hand and thus the video represents a left hand grip version. I had to undo and knot at the left side (edge facing away) so it can fit my hand. Great video nonetheless!

Thank you for teaching that.

Never heard the hot water trick before. Thanks.

Nice job

I did my ape hangers on my Harley! Looks sick! Almost 100 ft a side

Brilliant!

What kind of wax do you recommend and how’s the best way to apply it? Thanks for the video

Thanks thats what i was looking for

This was nice, I just did it on my sons sword thing from the renaissance festival. Thank you very much

Good video!!

So cool, thank you.

Great vid keep it up😁👍🏻

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!!

Parabéns muito bom 👍👍👍👍👍

thanks for the video!

Beautiful

Many thanks for this interesting video ! Best regards from Berlin HaJo

I tried it and the beginning of it was looking pretty bad, but I knew I needed practice so I kept going. By the end of was looking good, all the same. I unwrapped it and started again and totally got it! My ax handle is odd shaped so I had to push them tight, not like yours where you cab see the handle through the back side. But now the knot side doesn't look very good. Do you have a suggestion for an unevenly shaped handle? Thank you for taking the time to create edit and post your videos, much appreciated!! Just think...100 years from now someone will use your video to wrap an ax handle!

👏👏👏 Excellent

I did this wrap on an old ax of mine and it turned out awesome! I recently picked up a new ax and I plan on doing the same with it. With the first ax (after the wrap was done) I coated the para-cord with polyurethane. It took 3-4 coats before the para-cord was completely saturated. Once it dried, the cordage was (and still is) rock hard. It makes a for a much better handle guard to protect from the occasional over-swing. The only draw-back is that the para-cord is now on the handle permanently and cannot be used for anything else... Either way I like it! Thanks for the excellent tutorial :-)

Here's a question: if using this technique for a hatchet overstrike guard, is there a benefit to whipping the axe handle area below the head first, then doing the second layer with the patterned bites?

Nice, thanks mate

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???

Thank you
