different Izula wrap

[deepfry]

I was asked by another member to post this to show how I did this:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=650542&page=19

first wrap around the handle a few times.

then go around those a couple times

then wrap it around those two like so

then repeat that on the other side

so now it should look something like this

so then you just tuck or melt the two ends however you see fit.

And there it is.
My whole reasoning behind this wrap was that I don't like the cord to be in the choil and also to try and simulate what the micarta scales do by putting just a little more to hold onto just where you need it, basically a para-cord palm-swell.

Edit: this was about 3' of cord

that's pretty cool. i might try it when i get tired of the leather wrap i've got now.

Cool. I am using a gutted cord wrap at the moment. Very slim and comfortable.

I actually much prefer the scales to para-wrapping. I just couldn't resist the urge to experiment when I first got it.

i like how thick that wrap is, now i want an izula even more

You could just buy another Izula to experiment with. You know you want to.

Looks like it would work better. Thicker is better.

Thats a nice wrap, it looks like it might be a nice grip.

I'd not seen the scales until this thread. I like them and that wrap. I agree when you wrap all the way up you you loose too much of the finger groove and it puts my finger a little too close to harms way.

Thanks for the play by play on the wrap. I was close the first time I tried, but after seeing this it's easier than I thought it would be. Thanks!!!

Thanks for all the comments. Glad I could be of assistance.

I just noticed too that in the original thread, I had actually wrapped the two horizontal strands around the handle hole.
