Help!!!! My Busse needs great braided add ons.

DirtyPhill · Feb 13, 2008

I have just purchased my first Busse and it is in the mail, and soon will be in my hot little hands. Now I feel that I need to learn how to braid the fancy extra add ons for my knife out of para-cord. I was wondering if anyone knows a great step by step website, or a great must buy book with lots of pretty pictures.
Thanks.

That's where I learned how to do my D-Guards. Just added my own wrist synch to it for these:

Hey Jeepnut - where did you get the end pieces for the synch? Been looking around for some of them.

Thanks

I got them at CountyComm.

End pieces, cord locks, etc... are here.

Be careful though... You can spend a ton of money FAST at that site!

County Comm sells them. Plus 550 cord too.

Cool - I spent more than the $2.50/10 on a double feed cord lock at a local sewing store

, and only got 2!! But the cord ends are what I really need -

Thanks!

The must-have book for knotting and splices is "The Ashley Book of Knots" but it`s expensive. Check your local library.

Another good online resource for braiding, knots, and weaving is www.slinging.org but you have to look around. Lots of people post links to other sites or pic of prjects they`ve made. Very helpful bunch

I just bought a copy of that book from amazon, but I have not received it yet. I can't wait to give it a read.:thumbup:

Thank you everybody for the fantastic information. I am also looking to do some lanyards for my knives (just for fun).

Cheers

This gentleman has some really nice stuff in his blog, including a few videos on the basics of lanyard making:

It`s thick, you might wanna offer your mailman a cold one for bringing it.
