How to Make a Solomon's Sword Grip by TIAT

Purchase Paracord As Seen In This Video Here: amzn.to/3yGWTSU
[Instructional Book] Paracord Fusion Ties Volume 2: amzn.to/2WPecU2
The Solomon's Sword Grip could just as easily be used to wrap the handle of a knife, machete, staff, or any other linear object on which a firm grip is needed. Generated, as the name implies, with opposing Solomon Bars (slightly modified and innovatively applied), the finished piece looks far more complex than it is to make. Note: The wooden sword used to demonstrate the tie was sculpted by Thomas Elledge of Salinas, California--a member of the fusion knotting community, friend, and fellow blue collar worker by day.

This wrap looks awesome on my knives. For those asking about whether it will slip on a sword handle. If I wrap any handle with paracord that is going to be swung or put under heavy use, I always use either a layer of friction tape or silicone tape first. This will give the paracord a lot more purchase on whatever you're putting it on.

[@elparaiso89]

Good work! Can you link me the music of the video? I try to search her, but I did not find her.

[@TheGumbyDiver]

This is a great tut! Thank you for sharing your craft. I used this for a hatchet wrap and it's perfect!

[@smartmouthMF.er9074]

Damn people, ya'll will complain about anything. Don't like the music? Find the volume button and learn what it does. Seriously!

[@FlameScorpian]

How do I calculate the length of paracord I need to use? (10in long, 1.25in wide, 1in tall)

[@rbmiller3346]

Beautiful useful presentation. Thank you

[@dr.c.c.1671]

Excellent musical accompaniment. Very well done presentation.

[@robertmcdougall3166]

I am keen to try this on the handle of a cat o'nine tails. As an aside any idea of what the music track used on the video is? I notice someone else asked but without a response.

[@lindamorgey6736]

I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.

[@pedalistesite]

Hello from Bulgaria.I like so much your work and tying technique!Thanks 4 vid and books(mine holly books)!

[@dezwujie]

Eleven years later just dropping in to say this still looks great. Oh humble square knot, is there anything you can't do?

[@bryanespinosa6121]

Could you use this on something wider? Like say a shotgun stock?

[@Wutzthedeal]

You did the thumb trick again. People in my country say, "NO! How he do thumb trick again?! He fool us!"

[@hammocksponge3994]

Question: What keeps the work from sliding off the handle? Wonderful videos JD

[@ruggedrickrude1946]

Which one of your wrap designs would you suggest I could use on my outdoor gas barbecue grill for the handle say 6 inch wide design would be great that way I could figure out or you could tell me how much para cord for that particular design if people don’t like the music turn it down I don’t complain about much else I have emailed people they don’t respond back they want people to watch their videos but they don’t respond back so what good does that do

[@MrCoop]

Awesome JD I will have to definitely try this on some of my custom knives.. Great job.. ;o}

[@sobo2001]

I would think that youd need to put somthing sticky on the wood before you start. Have you swung it around a lot and did it hold up?

[@blaster5800]

Basically it's the same process of creating a Cobra bracelet, but turning the sword after every step. Super cool idea, thank you! *going to wrap my homemade tonfa" :)

[@CptCoco35]

Hey where did all the simple picture instructions go on your website? I hate having to watch/skip through a 7 minute video when I used to be able to look at a few pictures and quickly learn how to tie it. Please bring back the old method too, for those that don't want to have to watch a 7 minute video just to refresh themselves on a tying method.

[@ems2n21]

Alternating square knots? scoring if wood or metal holds tighter to seat the knot in whatever tying to and leaving a loop helps to hold onto the piece. Nice for lots of things and slips off to other items if top is not larger than handle. Thanks for the showing. You make them look unique and nice and especially easy. God bless. Coop

[@frankakapangeaman7984]

nice video lesson thank you, ik try to find this song from the video , Electric Counterpoint by Elena Casoli. but cannot find it, who can help me with name of the song/music? thanks

[@smartmouthMF.er9074]

Great looking wrap. This weave will go on the samurai sword after I'm finished with the 360°stryder wrap that I'm currently putting on my axe. Keep up the good work.

[@fredwhitehurst3700]

Great, I will be using this on my Cane's and Walking staff's. Thanks

[@Alkafeltser]

Great video. You music always cracks me up. This one sounds a bit like Skinemax music

[@brendonle-nguyen1498]

im doing my wrap for 10cm...any suggestions how long should it be for all 4 cords???

[@KevinJonessuprq87]

Thanks for this excellent video! I used it to wrap a walking staff I just finished for my daughter. She loves the handle.

[@SamuelEddy103144]

Is the cord wet and shrunk before the project or do you wet and shrink after completion?

[@chiob12002]

Good work thank for sharing it with us, It would be good if you could also list the music sources.

[@ranma64x]

So I'm assuming that the whole tie can be shifted depending on what side you want the knots to be showing. Would I be correct in that assumption?

[@aleczandervonandele1084]

It's a good wrap but I had to put my volume all the way down because I don't like the music and also did anyone else get epilepsy from all the flashing? Yeah stop with the flash and music please and thank you

[@CptCoco35]

Amen! The videos are total garbage. He used to have easy to follow pdf pictures on his website but now I have to try and see what he is doing with all he extra movements that aren't needed and his fingers constantly covering up what he's doing. BRING BACK THE PICTURES FOR THOSE WHO DON'T NEED A 7 MINUTE VIDEO FOR A KNOT.

[@josephknight4672]

Man first time wish i could see through your fingers

[@itsrichagain]

JD, how much of what is in your book is online? Part of what I enjoy is the groove of the music in conjunction with the tying of the knots. The two together is a performing art t

[@NestorCSilva79]

JD thanks for all your hsrd work on the videos and books. I have your first knot book and planning to get the second one too. My question is, could it be possible to tie this knot as a double solomon?

[@melindawedgewood781]

To create this on a 9.5" piece, would you simply increase the lengths by 50-60% (difference from 6" to 9.5%), or would it be more? Thanks for the awesome video, I have been inspired to create many paracord pieces!

[@melindawedgewood781]

Sorry, difference from 6" to 9.5" I meant.

[@SmokeyPepsi]

Hey JD - how much paracord would it take to do about a 9 inch wrap - I have a walking cane (with a bent grip) that I'd like to wrap

[@jkshoals]

J.D., I love the music on your videos.Found both of your books at Barnes & Noble yesterday. Will pick them up in a day or two. Both very well done. The pictures are sharp and easy to follow.

[@5j1o3h6n]

great vid,will use the knot on my walking staffs,and will buy your second book,anyone who has,nt got the first,get a copy highly recommended,regards john.

[@forkliftwizard]

That's cool, but I'm still partial to a 16 strand whip plait for handles....just saying....

[@viswaviswa7043]

Video for double colour wheel steering wrap sir

[@justrelaxbro11]

I've been searching for a cool wrap for my car steering wheel..wrapped first in camo form then with paracord....this will be perfect! Thanks JD!

[@jazzdennis6062]

[@andrewharbin8062]

[@MObetta64]

[@patw999]

In the old days of sailing it was called Fancy Work.

[@T.A.B.Videos]

That is cool, will have to try this.

[@royvf1s]

Any novel you publish couldn't be any worse than the ones I've never finished writing.

[@jaromejacksan6934]

I really like the Woodglut plans.

[@Alexander199022]

[@millionairejh]

[@Killapeelz]

[@ebenjamintoane]

[@darryllovett2291]

[@0dave14]

whats the name of that kind of knot? i use it so much and i never got around to learning its name

[@ghtjnn]

looks like a reef knot to me

[@0dave14]

thanks!

[@BloodRose123100]

First comment! And how useful. These videos are great.

[@johnhughes4083]

Useless as a sword grip, would slip off at even a gentle swing.

[@shardj5151]

You tend to indent the wood at the handle for that reason and possibly finish the grip by looping the rope/braid through a hole to secure it more

[@SleepyFox79]

what is this song you used, im totally grooving on it

[@benny1051]

this is a really elegant piece of work JD

[@nicolemendez4411]

How about showing us how to finish it off. Where do the ends go? Kind of like writing a book and leaving out the last few pages.

[@depravedpuma]

Jeff Roach I asked to show not tell. You pay attention.

[@butcher9010]

depravedpuma Well watch the video and you see where the ends are? It is shown, so Jeff is right. Pay attention.
