You may know the Breeden C.U.B. by now and if not here is a new take on something old. Brian made me 3 when this model first came out with 3 different thicknesses:1/16, 3/32, and 1/8 inch-thickness with a slightly shorter handle. All the knives came with orange G10 scales. My 3/32 inch-thick C.U.B. is my go to knife and the thinner one resides in the kitchen and as general utility. I didn’t do much with my 1/8 inch thick C.U.B. until I wanted a smaller lighter almost neck knife version of it. So a hammer and the Swisstool’s heavy crate lifter remedied the scales. Brian did a good job at attaching them in the first place, it took me a long time to remove them and the neighbors must have thought I was building a tree house at 1 am. Finally, a lightweight simple cord wrapped Breeden C.U.B. that has an amazing convex edge and is going to see lots of wood!

Cord wrapping is a good way to keep the look of your knife fresh by changing it up for different types of terrain and specializing it a little more to your taste.
I simply used the lanyard hole to attach the final length of the 550 cord
I use the knife as a necker or with the longer cord I use it over the right shoulder so the knife hangs (handle up) under the left arm around the rib area. This way it doesn't get in the way and dangle every time you bend forward, that is especially problematic when chopping. Wearing a knife like this on an established trail keeps the knife out of view and doesn't scare anyone making you look like a creep!
