Killer Bee & PBF Samurai cord wrap help

[DE OPPRESSO LIBER]

Hey does anyone know who can do the original samurai cord wraps offered on the

KB & PBF knives?????

 

[silverdragon33]

don't know how to do the knot (since i don't think i've seen it), but the basic wrap is easy. it's the same as a japanese handle wrap. googling it will yield some good tutorials

Pohan Leu's Samurai wraps are incredible.
So are his blades.

Just google Tsuka Maki. It's like a twisting motion of the cord. You can also figure it out looking at a samurai sword handle wrap. I however, don't end my wraps like a traditional samurai sword though.

DOL---If Po does wrap for you, don't let him convince you to use sewing thread---it does not work! :yawn:

Wally Hayes is GREAT! He will be at BLADE, and may do work there. He usually offers a FREE class on how to do the wrap. I went to the class in '07 and it is very interesting. The wrap is easy to do, but takes strong hands to hold the cord in place. Using a "flat" cord makes easier work!

Best of luck to you!!

Put the knife in a vise blade first. Makes it easy to wrap then.
