I've seen paracord weaved onto knife handles, guns, etc.
I bought 50' of olive drab cord for $4.00 at the gunshow and need to know how to apply it.

Anybody have information on this?

If I took the fresh roll I just bought, chopped it up into 50 foot lengths, I could make $182 profit at the price you paid. Damn, I oughta sell paracord!

Not with math skilz like that, you won't.

There is a discussion of wrapping a knife in the suvival forum:
ARFCOM-Wrapping a knife handle

Bear in mind that when you wrap paracord around your knife handle, it probably won't fit the factory sheath. In the above link is link to Chris Reeves web site on how wrap some paracord around itself, so that you can still use the factory sheath.

It's just simple 4 or 6-End straight braiding.  You obviously weren't a Boy Scout.

If you do it with timber hitches you can spiral the "knot" around it.  

Boy Scout, hell we learned that in Cub Scouts.  Plus your neighborhood Bosun's Mate oughta be able to come up with some fancy work

Just be sure to gut the 550 cord prior to starting.  Makes it tighter and looks cleaner.

Sportmansguide has paracord in 100 yard spools for like 12 or 13$.  I figured everyone can go buy some and wrap up everything they own.

Just got my 300 feet of paracord from sportsmansguide today, so I wrapped up my Kabar.  Man, gotta love this stuff.  Anyone try wrapping AR handguards in it?  or do they get too hot?  Just wondering if it would work

OTAY!  I'm on vacation.
I'm going out NOW to get the cord and a couple of items to wrap with it.
Tomorrow I'll be heading up to a friend's house and we'll try to successfully para-cord something...
