Supplies for the Badass Paracord Knife Grip
- Knife (We’re using a Tomahawk, cuz we’re Tomah-awesome!)
- Paracord
- Scissors
- Lighter
Instructions:
Step 1: Grab that which you would like to sheath!
We didn’t have a knife handy that didn’t already have a good grip, so we used a Tomahawk
Step 2: Lay your sheath on top of the Paracord.
Step 3: Cross left, cross right
Take the left side of your Paracord and run it over the sheath and under the Paracord on the opposite side.
Step 4: Thread it through the loop on the left-hand side
Step 5: Pull the Paracord tight
Step 6: Take the right-side Paracord, cross it over the front of the sheath
Step 7: Cross the left-side Paracord over the top of the right-side Paracord
Step 8: Cross the left-side Paracord behind the sheath
Step 9: Thread the left-side Paracord through the loop on the right side.
Step 10: Pull tight
Try to keep everything as tight as possible
Step 11: Cross the left-side Paracord over the front of the sheath thread it through the loop on the left side and pull tight
It’s the same moves over and over again
Step 12: Repeat in this fashion until the entire handle is covered
Step 13: Melt both tips of your Paracord strands
Melting the tips will make it easier to thread the Paracord through the eyelet on your sheath if it has one. It will also prevent the ends from fraying.
Step 14: Thread the strands of Paracord through the eyelet on your sheath
Step 15: Tie the two strands of Paracord into a knot
This tutorial is fast and easy. If you have a tired looking knife (or Tomahawk), you owe it to yourself to put some pep in it’s step with an awesome new Paracord weave. Of course, this tutorial will work on non-weapons as well. Try it on your Spatulas! NINJA COOKS!
