Last night I noticed I had about 75 feet of OD para cord with glow in the dark specs, so I got thinking of what I could use it for then a thought hit me. I ended up taking off the original handle wrap that had woodland para cord and replaced with the OD with glow in the dark specs, added a lanyard, and put some on sheath. The handle wrap looks just like the original :D and now it's a heck of a lot easier to spot in the dark. Next sunny day I'll get some decent pics of it, and then some of it glowing in the dark.
 
I got some pics uploading now, no glow in the dark pics though, not enough light for the camera to pic up on or something, there's probably a way to do it but I'll stumble across it later.
 
If it glows in the dark why you takin pics on a sunny day? Just askin' :D

After:
The para cord on this side of the sheath allows for horizontal carry,

The para cord on this side allows for vertical carry,

I improved the jimping a little, it took away from the great looks of the jimping, but it's a user.

The kydex was not only fitted to the blade but also it extended to cover the handle, meaning it was hit or miss with the wrap, :D and it was a hit.

I figured I would throw in a little hard earned bling to help hold the knife up.

Why wait for a sunny day? :D because I like outside pictures

What type of marker do I use? A fine point sharpie.... :D. When I was big into speedball I used a pimped out ION by smartparts, I started playing some woodsball and I like tippmanns for woodsball. Everything from old school pumps like the SL-68II to the procarbine to the 98 and the Alpha, if your playing woodsball Tippmanns are RELIABLE, I won one of the above trophies using an old school pump, and the other was with an Alpha. Alphas are accurate as crap, my avatar over on knifedogs has a pic of me in the middle of a woodsball game.
 
When I used to play I used. A 98 then an a5. But recently got an ion in trade. Played a few games with it but miss those tippmanns.
 
pimpin is cool ! ....pics are cool too..... I like it pball!

Once you get an ion running they're great mid-end markers, I put a freak barrel, light weight bolt, new feed neck, urban camo trigger, and I played around with the board settings and I could get it shooting pretty fast and accurate, but speedball (well paintball in general) will kill your money. The A-5 is about the only tippmann I have not used, I was always kinda shakey with trusting the cyclone feed system. I remember when I first got into the sport, I would challenge some people with high-end electros to 1 vs 1 matches when all I had was a tippmann 98, :D man would they whine, complain, and flat out accuse me of cheating when I'd pick 'em off with a 98.
 
Yeah we play woodsball here and we had a team from a bigger city come and we killed them. It costs alot of money and I would rather have gas and knives now.
