This video shows a quick and simple way to wrap an axe handle with paracord. There are a few reasons why you may want to do this,
1) To protect the handle from missed strikes, the paracord will take some of the impact reducing damage to the handle.
2) You have a decent length of paracord with you if you need it.

Great video, thanks for the instruction! I've wrapped my hatchet immediately after watching this video. And it looks really great! Thank you!

[@Hdthevoice]

Clicked on the video, grabbed my cordage and wrapped my axe as you spoke! Nicely done sir. Great tutorial!

[@rolandaz666]

I'm going to order Hultafors Hultån axe and will do this protective wrap immediately! Thanks a lot for this useful video! Greetings from Lithuania.

[@bryanmcdonough2436]

Good ole whipping knot works for many many things, making a grip, protecting a handle and so much more!! I do this with all my walking sticks and had randomly thought about doing this to my axe to protect it.... didn't know that it was such a common thing lol

[@wjhedgepeth71]

Definitely going to try this. I normally use inner tube but this seems nicer looking and more durable. 👍

[@mitchellgardner2193]

You could use a ranger band/bicycle tire innertube, and put the paracord over it, in fact it would probably be better since the innertube would keep the paracord from slipping & moving around.

That's a nice feature to put on my Viking style axe. Thanks for the idea Paul. As with leg wraps (putty's) I would do it other way round, starting the wrap from the slimmer end of the to be wrapped bit up towards the axe head, to prevent any loosening up...

Thanks

Welcome

[@mrbushwookie6051]

Thank you! I used this to wrap my bong but I have a tomahawk in the post that I'm gonna do this to as soon as I get it out of the box. Most rope tying videos are hard for my but this was easy. You earned a sub!

[@AndyGenova-jr9ol]

Great job mate bangers n mash to you

[@janmariolle]

Thank you, Paul. I am going to try this out today!

[@bkdesignr]

nice mate, watched this before and had to watch it again to redo my hudson bay axe. thanks!

[@lessstuffmorefreedom-livin6886]

Hey Paul great video keep them coming... before you permanently whip that handle, make sure you sand it down real real good and apply at least five or six coats of boiled linseed oil. I know you're probably going to do it anyway but, just thought I'd mention it take care buddy

[@LondonTreeSurgeons-Camden]

Without doing this axe handles eventually need replacing, I know. By doing this regularly an axe handle should last a lifetime. I will start doing this, thanks.

[@LosDoyerss]

Great video, quick, simple, informative thank you.

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cigarcaptain]

sweet and looks great too

[@illiyakuryakin3092]

Very nice job. Thank you for the lesson.

[@GazianoOutdoors]

Nicely shown mate! I'll have to try that on my axe cheers. atb

[@mikeokeefe2014]

If you use a pair of vise grips to hold the loop ..it keeps the loop straight and tight ..loop on head end ..tighten ...trim and I crazy glue

[@glockholliday7490]

Thank you. It is quick and simple, so was the video

[@DavidKralikOutdoors]

Great tip!

[@Christian_from_Copenhagen]

Thanks! I'm happy with the result.

[@SimpleEarthSelfReliance]

Best and to the point video on this. Thanks Paul =)

[@danhattersley6213]

Very cool, thanks for posting

[@bones357]

Very nice! I'll give this a go my throwing axe!

[@robboss1839]

As a righty I like the under laying knit part on the right side to shape the handle in the style of a right handed Japanese knife. (Round on the left side with a peak on the right side)

[@Airsoft-shooting]

Hi mate great little tip thank you for sharing. 👍

[@tonynapoli5549]

Great tip mate You live and learn Nice one ☝️

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

thanks for the lesson. The first time I let somebody use my Gransfors the smashed the wooden handle....

[@adamsifford6228]

Great idea , I like to wrap a handle grip and a lanyard.

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

Perfect!

[@griffin.greene]

Didn't realize it was this easy, thanks for the tip

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Nice one Paul, useful info 👍

[@littlebull8881]

Short sweet and does the Job, nice one

[@jgarcia9011]

Did this but hated the feel when choking up. Removed the para cord, ended up putting a double layer of bicycle tubing on. Took major effort but works perfectly.

[@teddypilny9404]

Thanks for your expertise!

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

So nice of you

[@FreddyFazbear77790]

That's great axe protection

Thanks!

[@bathcolin]

gOOD VID pAUL! tHANKS.

[@treylu1541]

Nice intro my guy.

[@scotthill6807]

Thanks for the tip. I have the same axe (great minds think alike). I put a couple of ranger bands on mine; one over the over but it looks ugly to be honest. I think Ill try your wrap. Another great vid Paul.

[@mitchellgardner2193]

Put the paracord over the ranger band, double protection & the rubber will hold the paracord in place, make sure you get the type iii 7 strand mil spec paracord, the wal-mart 550 paracord is 5 strand and isn't guaranteed 550lb minimum breaking strength, plus it stretches, mil spec doesn't. 👍

[@gunterbecker8528]

A bit of super glue will definitely help to keep the cord in place, cause it will slip in time.

[@scrappiron6307]

Well I'll be, thanks man Great vid.

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

Thanks, Happy New Year!

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

thx

[@ludwiksikora1119]

what paracord rope diamerer would you recomend? 3/32" 4/25"

[@BMOON5]

Good Lord Bruv. Quit smoking lad!

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

LOL i don't smoke. I just put the microphone in a silly place

[@etiennescarbinski7890]

If youre splitting a good amt of wood the force always unravels the cord

[@beartamersofold9453]

Wrap electrical tape around that and that's what I'm all about...that's a good one.

[@PanicAtTheBen]

Perhaps it is just me, but even at 50% speed, this video confused me. I appreciate you posting to help and I am not talking sh*t. Idk, it's late. I'm tired. I just need more steps. #ExplainLikeImFive

Sounds like a heavy breather on a crank phone call. :) Just kidding...

[@ThomasJeffersonWolfcall-kn3bx]

Why are you breathing like James Gandolfini?

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

I have sorted my mic out now lol

[@YuriyKhovansky]

In my first work I always used Woodglut plans.

[@danielc.1169]

And if you ever have a hair line crack in your wood, you will never know it and you can snap your axe head off ….the wood will crack over time and there is no way to inspect your axe handle thanks to you wrapping it . Not smart

[@michaeldoherty2289]

Face the sun when you shoot a video. Backlit is the worst. Nice looking wrap otherwise.

[@GenBuckTurgidson88]

Nice
