Who has the best selection of small nylon cord (around 1/16th diameter) to wrap the hollow handle of a Randall knife?

Looking for something similar to the cord on this Lile knife.

Check some of the Archery suppliers for Serving string, or Dacron B50, its used to make Bow Strings with. You can get 2 or 3 colors and put them together. Maybe a spool of Artificial sinue would do what you want, it comes in colors too and different thicknesses

DIY Jewelery and craft stores sell nylon cord in various diameters and colors.

I often use braided nylon cord that I buy from haberdashery for curtaining - but they are white.

Parachute cord is in nylon from army surplus places but is much thicker.

Do a Google product search on nylon cord -
you can add 1/16",
and probably will need to use "-elastic" (that's the "-" minus sign to eliminate elastic versions)

The cord contractors and landscapers use is available in a variety of colors and about the diameter you are looking for....check the local Lowes or Home Depot.
 
I get mine from the local hiking and camping specialty store. They sell good stuff for reasonable prices.
