Video Transcription

paraquat does have so many users as well as a knife so I thought why not combine those two to make the knife even better welcome to the 360° try to rap here is what you need you need any knife with the skeletonized handle talks screwdrivers to remove the handle some paracord and a big lighter well it's your own preference if you like them micarta handle scales or if you like to have a paracord rapped handle so I use a t10 Torx screwdriver to remove these handle scales and there you have it it's very important to keep the knife blade in the sheath so you can start your wrapping from the very bottom of the hand what I want to do is take the middle late at the bottom go around the handle and twist them 180 360 degrees you can see that's a full turn now bring those two together back to the handle try to keep it aligned in the middle as you can see left right you want that not right in the middle tighten it up as good as possible go on the other side and do the same thing on the other side so I know make it 360 turn try to keep it centered and bring it back to the front again like a 360 degree turn tighten it up bring it together make it right in the middle so as you can see we're getting closer to the end to the pommel of the handle we have wrapped the entire handle with this 360° thread of wrap now they ideas to finish it up you can either go through this hole the end into two pieces from the backside vertical and make a simple overhand knot but I don't like the looks of it so I prefer to do something different I like to go with one end from the back side through the hole pull it tight and one end I like to come from the front side go through the hole and pull it tight what that gives me is two hands coming on either side of the handle now if I can utilize a screwdriver and push the cordage glue down I get some more room inside this hole and that can feed it a second time through

and if I'm really good in what I do maybe it can get a third time through you can use the screwdriver push the cord through that was our third time and again we have one string on either side of the handle simple overhand knot tighten it up really good and you're done as you can see this thread of red 360° makes original mill which feels very nice in hand because it fills up the hem way more than the straight plane rack of paracord it feels like a real ham although it's wrapped always perfect so here's the finished project of the knife there 360 degrees right of wrap of the SC solitude I hope you liked this video thanks for watching see you next time Mike
