Got a Boye Basic 1 on a trade with Knifeknutt and it begged to be wrapped, the handle is very small to hold and work with, so with the remaining scraps of Sting Ray skin, I placed them in the handle hollows and wrapped with the black lace, but this time I was a little bit smarter, the last one I did I drilled out a 3/8" hole for the lacing to wrap around the end, (and that was a real pain, it is HARD stuff!) but since the handle isn't round on the end it doesn't wrap well anyway. So this time I ended the wrap by threading the lace through the existing hole and then sliding the lace under itself on the other side and pulled it tight. The epoxy locks it into place so it won't travel, of couse now the older sheath wont work since the handle is thicker, so I made a nice small one just for it. Good luck Wrapping your all metal knives!
