A couple of photos of a baldric rig that I made from 550 paracord at the request of a fellow knife enthusiast.

I made this rig adjustable, using rings and a ss gate clip, so that the individual could wear his knife high or low under the arm, depending on his need.

I used almost 50' of cord...utilizing a 4 plait pattern and a French grapevine.

I hope to make one from leather in the near future.
 
Wow, how did you make it if you dont have any arms? :confused: Or is that some one else in the pic?

But really, nice work! :D
 
It looks like a wierd mannequin. :eek:

I want to know why you have that mannequin in the first place?

It's kinda detailed with nipples and a six pack. :eek:

It's a training tool...called "Bob"

I use it for boxing, kicking and such....if you look closely, the chest is stained with blood.
 
Is that a BOB? Cool...i know what it is but i didn't realise it was that detailed. Not to hijack this thread but is it worth it to have one? I've been thinking of getting a punch bag but most of the one's i've used are a bit light and really need someone behind it so it won't swing too much.

I really like it...has alot of realism.

I use it for targeting areas of the head and neck....
 
Interesting take on the baldric. It's a lot more elaborate than the one I made from a single strand of 550 cord.

My son laid one of these dummies out in a sporting goods store (they didn't have the base weighted)....the look on his face was priceless. :D

One day my wife went down into the basement (where BOB is kept) and when she turned on the light....SCREAM!!!!!! :eek:

Now I have to keep BOB in a room where it won't surprise her :rolleyes: ....too life-like.
