Paracord
Scissors
Lighter
Simple Paracord Handle Wrap Instructions
Step 1. Prepare Your Survival Knife and Paracord
Grab the gear or knife which you would like to sheath! We didn’t have a knife handy which needed sheathing because they all had a good grip already, so we used a tomahawk instead.
Prepare your paracord. Set your knife or tomahawk’s handle you like sheathed on top of the paracord, somewhere in the middle of its whole length.
Step 2. Start to Weave
Now, take the left side of your paracord and run it over the sheath and under the paracord on the opposite side.
Thread it through the loop on the left-hand side.
Step 3. Make Your First Weave
Take the right-side of the paracord, then cross it over the front of the sheath. Pull it tight to secure.
Next, cross the left-side paracord over the top of the right-side paracord.
Cross the left-side paracord behind the sheath.
Step 4. Pull the First Paracord Weave Tight
Thread the left-side paracord through the loop on the right side.
Now, you just made your first weave. Pull the weave tight.
Make sure to keep everything as tight as possible.
Step 5. Continue Weaving
It will be the same move/process hereon–cross the left-side paracord over the front of the sheath thread it through the loop on the left side, then pull tight.
Step 6. Repeat
Repeat in this fashion until the entire handle is covered.
Step 7. Melt the Paracord Edges to Secure Ends
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.
