it was easier for me to go to blade buy the pink izula from two beautiful girls and have the kid to wrap it after mike jacked it up. lol and then bring it home and give to the misses, she love it...

So do any of you soak your paracord in water before you wrap the izula handle? on you tube he mentioned that some do to help keep the wrap tight.

I heard that too, but I just went dry and its pretty tight.

My Dear Friend,

Soaking the paracord is supposed to help maintain tightness but I never bother; the way that I gorilla-grip the handle it really isn't necessary.

My last wrap I did more of a traditional Japanese katana wrap - I have since changed it but if I redo it soon (as I suspect) I'll post pics.

so you do not wet the cord? i was just curious who does it and if it really makes that much of a difference is all. thanks for the replies fellas

I soak my paracord whenever I use it. I don't think it will make much of a difference. Do remember to burn or superglue the ends.
