Fish-scale braid

[@scroggshorsetraining7889]

I’ve tried to ty this knot forever. We use it to put over a saddle horn to protect it from rope burns. Was so happy to find this video. This video was so easy to follow. Thanks for sharing.

[@scroggshorsetraining7889]

We put this around saddle horns to protect them. Thanks for this tutorial. I have been trying to learn it for over a year. You was very helpful in learning how to do. Again thanks for sharing.

[@fvazquez64]

Your tutorial is very clear, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge

[@ShaunO7623]

I'm using this braid as a cover for the keeper on a stock whip that I'm making and I'm loving the way it looks

[@bobbyb7127]

I'm making a performance stock whip by Nick LOL

[@joemurray8902]

That's a lot of work. Nice job, looks great.

[@raymondbernardin4523]

Handle looks great! Thanks for sharing you technique. ( used 30’-0” of 550 cord to achieve a 6” grip)

[@willtube61]

So about a mile of cord to wrap a steering wheel. 😂

[@MrMDee-si1bz]

So, how much would I need to wrap a driving wheel? About 30 feet?

[@CJBanks-nc5re]

At what diameter did you need 30 ft of cord to do 6 in of wrap?

[@GT-yj2jc]

I wrapped a 5 inch section of walking pole 1 inch diameter, with 2mm paracord to create comfortable grip. I used 25 feet of cord. I started with a 30 feet length and had 5 feet left. Better to start with a bit too much and have a bit left, rather than do all that work, and fall short!

[@Old52Guy]

Wonderful! It looks like this would provide a good gripping surface for a knife handle, depending on the type of cord. A good replacement for the usually inadequate factory- provided cord handles. Thanks!

[@heathpalmer4283]

How did it work out for you? Is the grip sturdy, strong? Is there any slippage or uncoiling of the wraps?

[@Old52Guy]

@@heathpalmer4283 Overall, it worked well. One problem I didn't anticipate was moisture retention leading to rust. Even though when wet the paracord stayed tight it retained enough moisture to cause rust to set in. It held onto it long enough that there were spots of rust on the stainless. After 1.5 yrs the paracord had stained and picked up an interesting odor. The outer sheath had nicks which let more water leak inside the cord. I took it all apart, tossed the cord and used steel wool to clean up the handle/tang. I sprayed the handle with 3 coats of rust inhibiting primer you use on car bodies. I thought of coating the handle with epoxy but decided against it. I let it dry for a couple of weeks to make sure as much of the paint solvent was evaporated so the cord wouldn't degrade. Then I tied a new cord handle. It's been about 4 months and no problems noted. The takeaways are paracord doesn't last forever, even stainless will start to rust if exposed to moisture too long, and cord will pick up and hold odors. Overall the cord worked great. I used 770 paracord because I have big hands and this now fits better. I will use this on a couple of knives I'm rehabbing. Hope this helps.

[@bobbyb7127]

Wow, that's nice! Great tutorial!!! Thanks.

[@rickmurphy2618]

So what do you do at the end to finish it off ????

[@mumu132]

Think this would be tight enough to do this on a steering wheel?

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

i have been wondering about this for years thank for documenting this

[@PAWMAINS]

would there be a way to calculate how much cord is needed to wrap a certain length? would this work with a gutted cord?

[@TheSpaniard73]

Awesome video, I can't wait to try it 😀

[@MRINI.B1980]

You didn't show how to end

[@eternalfire9009]

This looks like a good alternative to a Turks head transition knot on bullwhips. Thanks.

[@figjamdog]

I love your videos. Thank you

[@alcaponehome6744]

How to finish the end of the knot so it won't release by itself ?

[@eabnamoliben1598]

Burn it

[@edwinlaing9834]

It’s beautiful but for 12 inches of grab bar would be an eternity feeding 1100 feet of line one million times and pulling thru the entire string i gona have to pass on this one 😢

[@vinfish4697]

Can you show how to add micro stitching to the fish braid

love the tutorial, thanks

[@Captdavis1]

How many feet do you need in order to do 1 foot, around a 1 inch tube?

[@borys4301]

How do you finish this at the bottom just a knot then melt it, or there is a technique to finish it off so the excess is hidden away. Thanks and great video

[@Paracordguild]

Thank you for the comment! My go to way of finishing wraps is by taking the end and running it under the wrap to the top side. This does indeed hold the end in a nice way, plus it is easy to trim. Mark

[@tristanseverance6635]

Yeah and a turks head knot would look great too

[@lrzhi]

Was thinking about making this as a ligature for my clarinet, saw an article about someone who had made a 6 lead 7 bight (I think) knot for they ligature, I think this looks better tho. Would it work?

[@crisleyva9152]

This was a sick idea. Did it work?

[@ภาณุเมศวร์ราตรี]

Thank you very much.

[@jimmiehall1725]

If they ever invent para cord that doesn't coil and knot up while pulling it, our life will be like a paradise.

[@doug9418]

Excellent job, thanks for sharing this with us.

[@kristenrew4693]

Can this be done with leather instead?

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! It can. In fact I learned this one from a leather braiding book :). Mark

[@jrbaggott]

Love it. So it’s just every other loop from the previous row. Very nice. What is the needle called so I can get one. Thanks

[@vjgrevem]

Paracord Fid

[@markwells8631]

There's videos on KZbin that show how to make one yourself. Its fairly simple with handtools; a hacksaw, either a drill motor, or drill press, and a file, sandpaper, or a grinder, (side or bench), or a dremel tool (which is what I uses). Get a screw post from Lowes or other hardware store, get the largest size and as long as you desire it to be, I used #8 × 2 1/2". That was the longest and largest I have found, so far. You just cut off the head on the screw post, then grind, sand, or file a taper on the same end you just cut off the head, and you've got a homemade, short, cute, functional tool. Fibs are, also, available from Amazon and a mirad of other online and local hobby, craft, and paracord stores.

[@joshtosh777]

Hi...how much cord that need for that bracelet? Thank you

[@mmblock87]

How well would something like this work, as a sleeve for like a water bottle? Like a 64oz Hydro Flask? Can you close the bottom of it?

[@Paracordguild]

Morgan Block Hey! Yeah, the bottom can be closed, just work the braid tighter or switch to half hitching if you prefer those. Mark

[@ireject1203]

considering putting this around my fishing rod grip fitting name XD

[@jorgebarrios5393]

Bro same

[@vinfish4697]

Try to use it as a balancer because it does add weight if u know what I mean

[@jluiscc25]

how much length of paracord do you recomend to use here?

[@nathansteiger2409]

José Luis Castrejón Corres lol 80'

[@mrmote-xt6oy]

[@qhazwel]

Seems like a lot of Paracord. How many feet of Paracord per foot?

[@standbyme6395]

1 foot of paracord per foot

[@محمدالوره-ك1ك]

Excellent👌

[@vendetta1306]

Gonna be here a while wrapping a 3 foot long shifter lol

[@aldoferrari]

[@otsukardi6843]

At Amazon or eBay, search "Lacing Needle".

[@danielmckim9509]

Bad ass man

[@Paracordguild]

Hehe, I am quite familiar with MBTI. The tutorials are made so that anyone can follow them. Greetings from an INTJ!

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Your English needs some help. Let me help you. When you say…. Show you (how) the braid looks (like). This is incorrect. Show you “what” the braid looks like. Is correct. Or also….. Show you “how” the braid looks. Singular. Is correct. If you want to say (how) then just end the sentence with (looks). If you want to end the sentence with (looks like) then use (what) instead of (How). Not (how) the braid looks (like). This one is incorrect. “Let me show you HOW the braid LOOKS.” Is correct “Let me show you WHAT the braid LOOKS LIKE”. Is correct. “Let me show you HOW the braid LOOKS LIKE.” Is incorrect. Hope this helps your English. 🤞🙏🏻

[@jimnorman1167]

Let me help you with your manners. When you tell someone his grammar is incorrect without demonstrating what would be correct, this is incorrect. Better still, ask yourself if what the man is saying can be understood by someone who really wants to understand. If so, as it is in the case of this very helpful tutorial, it's probably best to resist the impulse to "help." You're welcome.

[@wethepeople7453]

Why can't I find an American to do paracord handles

[@bobbyb7127]

You be the American.
