I think it came out pretty good. Printed out the instructions off the Strider web site, and went to work. If you Strider guys do this all by hand I give you guys alot of credit.

Now look, the knife is not a Strider so don't bash me to bad.
 
Thanks for all the nice comments. It took me a couple of tries, and I did it by hand. No vice or anything like that. The only thing is the wrapping is just a little loose. Not like the real Strider stuff. Very tight. But I am happy with the job and I plan on doing it with more knives. Thanks all.
 
NICE JOB!

I have to tell you I posted a pic of me EBLT that I cord wrapped it came out great but my hands were so freakin tired out from wrapping! Those Strider guys must have gorrilla grips to tie the cord really tight takes a lot of hand strength for sure.

Yours came out great, I have been looking at a lot of my knives wondering what they would be like cord wrapped?
 
I don't know much about the stretch characteristics of paracord, but do you think it would help to pre-stretch the paracord? Would that help to limit stretching/loosening that might occur after the knife is wrapped?
 
WTF: That looks good. I might try that myself.

The knife in the picture looks like a Kabar Impact model. I'm interested in those and they're not in any store around here. I'd be interested in any comments you have about the knife.
