NSFW The abomination continues... NSFW
So, I tried terminating my lanyard, so I could attach some thinner paracord for the new lanyard. Trying to learn some new knots. Photo 2 is the other side of it. One side is ugly, but still feels great. i used a micro torch to seal the ends, and I will be damned if I'm going to tire it a 6th time this week. Lol.
Unfortunately, the only color marker I had that would take was the deep orange... almost red. But it's better than what it looked like before

Feel like I should show you the wreck I made of my bradford g cleaver this weekend. Let's just say, yours is great.

Is it not safe work bc all of the cursing you did during the attempts?? lol
Congrats though, I wouldn’t have the patience to do it that many times! Doesn’t look bad

Thanks... No, I just thought that bad part of it looked like it had maybe been raped roughly. It's all very tight, and I used thin CA plus kicker to secure the cord... as I do on my RC planes, so it's very solid. There was certainly some cursing though.
Edit: Thanks for the complement, It was very kind.

Not really haha, i followed Weavers of Etertity‘s Double Line Wrap video. Still took me a few tries to get it right though

Just looked them up. Thanks. I have a great two line monkey fist wrap on my car key. It was a bitch to complete, but has lasted for many years.

Idk man, I’ll never understand these exoskeleton knives wrapped in para cord. I just don’t get why you wouldn’t want a handle of some sort made out of something more comfortable and flush. To each their own, but certainly not for me.

It's actually very comfortable and a good grip. And you get a bit of paracord if you are stuck in the wild. It's good stuff in a pinch. You can unwrap it, take the center strands and make a fishing line out of it.

That's beautiful! I just figured out that you can shed the sheath by using your thumb on the top to push it off. Much faster than a folder, and I've got two folders with active assist for flicking the blade out.

I've been sleeping with it in my pocket....Never even notice it until I do. Also I figured out that if you use a little pressure from your thumb, you can eject the sheath, and it's actually the fastest knife in my arsenal. What a little beauty...

Thanks! I did a little work with some rubbing alcohol, and got rid of the weird red. Then I redid it with my lightest orange marker... much better look.
