  • The wrap technique you use is called a "whip wrap". It is also used when wrapping an archery bow string, or to finish the end of a rope to prevent fraying. I am sure you know this, but some of your viewers may not.

    • Rather than using seal all, twist/snug the whipping up as tight as possible at the bottom, then fully saturate ALL of the paracord top to bottom with a thin CA glue - it chemically converts/melts the sheathing and individual nylon strength cords inside the paracord to a single piece of perfectly formed and EXTREMELY durable armor with outstanding impact and abrasion resistance. An added benefit is that BLO can be applied to both the handle and whipping after the fact to further re-enforce and condition both the wood and wrap. I use this trick to make bulletproof overstrike collars for splitting axes and mauls. It works a treat, especially with some 5 to 7 millimeter sheet rubber and a wrap or two of hockey grip tape underneath.

  • Buckin good morning. I use the same type of wrap on handles. I use Starbrite super glue, thin, to secure the wrap. It is like water and flows into the threads, there is no need to loosen the threads it will go straight through to the wood. Oh and don't grab it with your hands before it sets. I was splitting wood for two days before it let of of my hand 😉😉

Skills like this are no joke. Everyone should take a peeksy at a few Buckin videos and then realize why we watch and learn and support. A very kind and friendly guy who has evolved in a good way.

  • Alternately, rather than using seal all, twist/snug the whipping up as tight as possible at the bottom then fully saturate all of the paracord top to bottom with a thin CA glue - it chemically converts/melts the sheathing and individual nylon strength cords inside the sheathing to a single piece of perfectly formed and EXTREMELY durable armor with outstanding impact and abrasion resistance. As an added benefit, BLO can be applied to both the handle and whipping after the fact to further re-enforce and condition both wood and wrap. I use this trick to make bulletproof overstrike collars for splitting axes and mauls. It works a treat, especially with some 5 to 7 millimeter sheet rubber and a wrap or two of hockey grip tape underneath to reduce impact transfer between whipping and handle.
