Paracord Knife Handle Wraps: The Complete Guide, from Tactical to Asian Styles

Paracord handle wraps are popular for survival and tactical knives, resting comfortably in the hand, resisting slippage, and standing up to moisture and temperature fluctuations. In an emergency, the wrap can even be undone to provide a practical length of rope. This clear, straightforward guide teaches everything needed, including selecting the paracord itself and weaving the correct wrap styles for underlays, tactical uses, skeleton handles, and more. Over 16 styles are covered, ranging from basic handle wraps to standard military and looped wraps, paradox wraps, and artistic Japanese tsukamaki handle wraps, with each technique explained step by step through detailed photos. Costs for materials and tools are minimal, making it easy to equip both handmade and manufactured knives with a durable paracord wrap. 

Written by Jan Dox, a Belgian knifemaker and former parachutist who has worked with Japanese and tactical style handle wraps since 1986 and is now regarded as one of Europe's leading experts in the field.
