My $20 Eskabar

I knew I didn't like you mods for a reason

Love the sheaths! What knives do they fit (KABAR or Becker, of course)?

yeah, we're pretty bad.

course, there was only like 7 of those sheaths, and they weren't moving until we made them move.

some people even argued with us they were crap. not being shipped back. so... we thew ourselves down on that action

I would have thrown myself on that "grenade" as well...


Biscuit that was what I figured once I was posting, that it was just one strand. I just made a lanyard/tab and used that weave just real quick (before you said what it was) and yeah it looks pretty much the same.

I still need to learn proper ways to finish off paracord. I suck at that.

Sooooooooo, it begs the question...all you guyz who got these smokin' deals on seconds, what exactly made these knives seconds?

I can do a tutorial thread this weekend.

So, if that tutorial is out, would it be possible to post a picture of the other side?

What?? And destroy the mystery?!

Thats what i was figuring. I got one side to look just like it, the other looks like a rats nest.

Here you go, man. I just haven't had time to photograph a tutorial.
A vacation, a death in the family, and then I started a new job. No time in the day.

The other side is more concave than convex.
Note how the ends of the paracord are just melted together.
I used a spoon handle to flatten/shape the melted cord while it was warm.
Not as pretty as a lanyard extension, but more functional, I think.

I really want to learn this wrap. Can ya send me the knife so I can at least try to figure out how it was wrapped?

pretty please?


with sugar on top? LOL



Man, I need another 14 or a 24, LOL

This wrap is really, really easy TD. Basically, when you are running the strands back and forth, you loop it once in the middle.

I still need the knife as a guide
