hey there i was wondering if anyone around here knew how to braid 5 50 cord for say a lanyard/string for a knife??....ive seen some pretty nice braids..but am completely clueless.....thanks in advance
Yes, I would like to learn too...love that stuff...too bad I am not in Cold Lake ...I am on the other side of the country in NS.
And where does one get this cord?
You can use the "Chinese Crown" knot to make a length of soft handle on a knife or other hand tool that has a hole in the end of its handle. I made one with tan and green 550-cord for my issue Russel knife.
If you take the small lines out of the center of the cord before you start the "crown" knot you get a flat sided square. If you leave them in it's more round.
I am so excited...I have asked MudMan to show me how to do these braids for about three years now : and he hasn't lol
So now I am going to learn myself... ;D
One more question...does anyone know if I can buy this 550 cord in Nova Scotia anywhere or do I have to buy it online?
