#93778 - 10/14/11 02:13 PM Best way to wrap a handle??
ranger51 Just dropped in Registered: 10/12/11 Posts: 7	First I want to say hi to everyone. I own a Randall #18 7 1/2. I want to wrap the handle with od green 550 paracord. I would like some ideas from anyone who has done it. I would imagine that some sort of glue must be involved, if so which glue would work the best? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Allen

Peter S. Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/04/09 Posts: 263 Loc: Westerwald / Germany	Really no problem! You make one end of the paracord hot with a lighter, then you twist the paracord from one of the holes up to the buttcap, back down and in the other hole in the hilt. Then you cut the paracord and then the same procedure with the lighter! That´s it! _________________________ Peter S. Westerwald/Germany RKS #5889 RKCC .... Behring Made User

TienD Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/26/11 Posts: 24 Loc: Cedar Park	This is the result by following the above instruction diagrams. Although, I wrapped both my 18-7 and 18-5 handles 10 years ago when I got them back in 2001. I liked small cord better. Attachments ------ ------ _________________________ --TienD--

Peter S. Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/04/09 Posts: 263 Loc: Westerwald / Germany	Yes, that looks great! The thinner cord is the better choice! _________________________ Peter S. Westerwald/Germany RKS #5889 RKCC .... Behring Made User
