glow in the dark paracord handle wrap pics

[Josh Muller]

my manager bought this 5$ "tactical" rainbow finish knife, and didnt like the strider style nylon (really cheap stuff) cord wrap on it. especially though, she didnt like the od green color.

if i had had pink, i would have used that, but i didnt know where to get ahold of any. we may end up taking this off and then use colored shoelaces for it. depends on if she likes this or not

this is done in 2 knots, and two buttons. the buttons called (or similar to) a pentagon in two planes. the main wrap is a bannister bar knot, and the end knot is a turks head.

side view

turks head portion (im not willing to undo the knot to make it larger, it took way to long to do)

the button

it glows

Nicely done, wish I had the skill and patience! I've had good luck with paracord from http://www.geocities.com/hppycam/newparachutecord.html, they even have a couple of shades of pink.
Stay Safe,

i'll have a pic of the whole knife up tonight when i get home from work


the entire knife. its actually pretty darn tactical feeling for being 5$. im sure its 420, and its reletively thin, but not having the choil, and the handle shape make for a knife with a heck of a lot of edge.

if you have a white led try that on the cord
