How to make a paracord axe handle wrap

In this tutorial I demonstrate how to make a paracord axe handle wrap.
It is made in a quick deploy fashion, which means it can be completely unraveled in a matter of second when needed.
For those familiar with the chain sinnet, this is going to be quite familiar.
A photo tutorial on this wrap can be found here:

Thank you for the great video, wrapped 1/2 my walking stick with 500 paracord (has firestarter string and fishing line inside wrapped paracord) for survival situations.

Beautiful wrap but the head of your axe looks a little upside down

I love handle wraps. They can make something so cheap look so beautiful.

Did that on a small prybar (1 foot long nailpuller). After the finishing knot I worked the end of the cord back under the wrap with marlinspike and curved hemostat pliers. Finally, put the whole thing into a breadmaking tin and poured boiling water onto it. The heat shrinks the wrap. Most likely ruins the cord, but for the wrap, it is very useful.

Saving this to make sure my axe has a nice grip for the apocalypse👍

Wherever you are, I hope you are well. This pattern and your teaching style is PERFECT for my brain. I have used this a dozen times over the years. Today for a gourd rattle handle!

Thank you. Very informative. I just finish wrapping a hatchet. Perfect instructions.

This video really helped me. I'm making a survival axe and wasn't sure if I should put a paracord handle on because I didn't know how. But this video really helped me out. Thank you so much

I just did two of these after watching your video, the first one was practice (actually done on a knife sheath) and the second one turned out perfect thanks to your help!

This is my favorite so far. Using for some extra flair on my motorcycle clutch and brake levers...

Excellent tutorial. I’ll be making a protective collar using this method. Thank you very much.

I used to do a variation of this kind of thing when I was a kid except we called it "finger knitting" if we did it with string or wool yarn. It can be used for shortening /strengthening a piece of line. It made for some strong, though rather bulky line.
Thank you for this excellent demonstration.

Thank you very much for your excellent explanation. I will sure make this on one of my axes.

Thank you for this video! Clear and concise instructions. This wrap looks fantastic, and when tightened properly, it doesn't move. It's a little hard to start when it's all loose, but once you get a couple loops through it becomes much easier.

Never heard the hot water trick before. Thanks.

Thanks for the video! Great instructions. Made my 1st bushcraft mallet and wrapped the cedar handle. Looks and feels great.

@kenhollandjr1251 2 years ago

I have watched your video two times now. Thank you very much. It is the most usable, purposeful handle wrap, if you will. I have an axe, and I have a big camping knife, and this is the way I’m going to do it. Thank you very much again.
