In this instructable I'll show you how to wrap a knife or tool handle with para-cord. I think that a plain old circular wrap is boring so I'm going to use a cobra weave instead. I am going to wrap the para- cord around a machete handle instead of a regular fixed blade knife.

It'd be better if you tied the ends into a lanyard and make your piece of paracord pull double duty.

The cobra weave is not meant for this.

If it is done tight enough then it should hold with out having to be tied off.

How do you tie if off so that it doesn't unravel?

Holy crap thats a machete right becase if its a knife it is a wee bit big. Nice instructable!!!

Right! but the wrap itself works on most tools with a traditional handle such as this one.

This is a heck of a blade! What do you use it for?

It is actually my fathers, and he bought and used it in Belize while traveling in the jungles there. He was there all alone and spent 4 months there.
