my new wrap

[pill]

Well i just tried to wrap my izula I think it turned out ok wondering if anyone could give me some pointers. The one thing i was cuirous about was finishing it. I just tied a knot and then took a lighter to it. I appreciate any criticism good or bad .

use more cord so you can make the weave tighter and fuller. I do wraps all the time for customers, mostly izulas.

That definitely looks tighter than mine, and it sounds like you've had some experience than me. Ill keep trying and see how it turns out. thanks

Just as tyler said, use more cord, make it tighter and try to wrap it to the top to make it look more even. Also make sure to wrap it while its in the sheath. To protect yourself and to make sure the knife fits back in the sheath.. overall its a good start..!!!!

I like to take out the white cord from the inside of mine. Makes for a little flatter wrap. Try it both ways and see what you like better.
Ohh, and definately use more chord. I pull on it untill my knuckles turn white. You'll be amazed how much a knife can suck up.

Just as an FYI I found out in a rather painful way that it is a VERY good idea to either put it in a vice or at the very least some electrical tape on the blade if you are going the white knuckle route.

Ive had mine wrapped since a week after I bought it, I like the grip the paracord provides.
