- 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:

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.
i love this wrap, no feeding it through, and quick to unravel. easiest one to learn so far! i'll be using the shit out of this one
Think that axe head is upside down. Great video duder, thanks for sharing!
got to admit, that was harder than it looked, but I got it. she ain't pretty but I finally made a handle for my old hatchet c: practice makes perfect right? Great video and thanks. I'm definitely subbing
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.
Thanks that's exactly what I'm looking to wrap
The fact that all 3 of us came here looking to do this for our prybars makes us real brothers
I did rubber bands under the wrap for hand comfort
Very nice, always wondered how that was done.👍
Awesome vid!
the head is set heel in the air.

agreed , I had to go back in the video because something kept bugging me about this axe head

right on, 4:06 - 4:08
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.
Protects every part of the handle except the part that needs protection. Lol.
Lmao 😂
(Pushes glasses towards face) After further examination of my attempt I can conclusively comment that the knot must be at the opposite side of the handle of the video. The knot stops the ergonomics of the hand and thus the video represents a left hand grip version. I had to undo and knot at the left side (edge facing away) so it can fit my hand. Great video nonetheless!
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.
It's like a japanese"katana sword"
If you take the time to really pll each bite really tight, the wrap will not move even if placed on a slippery plastic handle. Very nice! Worked perfect for my Fiskars hatchet!
im putting on my Fiskars hatchet also lovely piece of gear
Got the X7 or the black one? I just got mine today actually. How funny!
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.
At 4:07 we see that the axe blade is on backwards.
Shouldn’t the knots be facing forward to take any impact vs the side?
4:25 A wild OCD has appeared!
One of the best look and serve its functuoj!easy unwrap!
Gj!
I'm going to try that on a walking stick.I think it will look good.
I plan on using this wrap on a white oak staff/halberd/2 handed axe in the near future. Just need to find/make a suitable axe head.
just saw on an other post 1inch needs 1foot of cord
Dgod 724 the bigest problem is allways a lenth. If is to short you can not get it all the way to the and. Tutorial is ok but some i watch they give wrong lenths. It goes much more than they say.
Wrap a string once around the handle you will be wrapping and measure that length of string. Lay the paracord or rope you will be using flat on the table back and forth next to each other and count how many make one inch wide. Multiply those two numbers and you will know how many inches of material needed for one inch of wrap.
Add 5 to 10 percent for good measure.
Thanks man!! Just got a Hults Bruk axe for Christmas and this was a nice way to add a great handle grip. After an initial subpar first try the second attempt worked perfectly. Couldn't have done it without this well made guide!!
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.
What kind of wax do you recommend and how’s the best way to apply it? Thanks for the video
Other than the axe head is mounted upside down on the handle,,, nice paracord wrapping bro!
+Honestreview I lol'd at this too haha
Yep it was a funny one Bro!
Nice cord wrap...you might want to sand that varnish off you axe handle....or any other handle..it's easier on your hands..you'll get less blisters/ fatigue and less sliding in your hand...thanks...
I tried it and the beginning of it was looking pretty bad, but I knew I needed practice so I kept going. By the end of was looking good, all the same. I unwrapped it and started again and totally got it! My ax handle is odd shaped so I had to push them tight, not like yours where you cab see the handle through the back side. But now the knot side doesn't look very good. Do you have a suggestion for an unevenly shaped handle? Thank you for taking the time to create edit and post your videos, much appreciated!! Just think...100 years from now someone will use your video to wrap an ax handle!
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 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
Used this to make a new handle on my slingshot. Thanks heaps!
I am impressed, simple and effective, thankyou!
I used a 10 foot piece on a 1 inch diameter handle and got about 3 1/2 inches of wrap... going to need to get some more cord..
Great video. Think I am going to make one of these on my old Estwing maul that used to have stacked leather handle. Last piece finally came off. Guess it done pretty good rolling around tool boxes and shop since new in 83’
Here's a question: if using this technique for a hatchet overstrike guard, is there a benefit to whipping the axe handle area below the head first, then doing the second layer with the patterned bites?
Thanks for the instruction! First time I've tried this and your video explained it well. I've been turning some hickory and ash bats and will apply this technique to the handles. I also have some bokken (wooden practice swords) that I will try this on. Thanks again for taking the time to post this!
Hey mark, just wanted to say thank you for all of your tutorials. You have been a big inspiration to me!
Hey!
Thank you for your kind comment! I do appreciate it!
Mark
Wow this is extremely hard to do
Thanks for the video! Great instructions. Made my 1st bushcraft mallet and wrapped the cedar handle. Looks and feels great.
Never heard the hot water trick before. Thanks.
Just a suggestion, when you are doing this wrap, do the wrap so that the "knots" or loops are in line with where your fingers are going to grip the handle.
That is a great idea
the front of the handle, in line with the blade
How long was the paracord for this project & what was the final length on the handle.

Thank you for this tutorial. I had never done any paracord wrapping and needed something to finish a walking stick. With your help, it turned out great. Thank you so much, you really helped me out!
Thank you for such a positive comment!
Mark
That's exactly what I have planned, on the off chance you see this, how did it turn out?
I wish that I could actually do this. Tried it ten times and it only comes out as a knot.
Hey!
Two things that can help:
- apply some wax or hockey tape to add to the friction between the wrap and the handle
- tighten by first pulling on the cord that is coming into the bight, so the top one
I hope these two tips help, the wrap should be done tightly and if needed, placed in hot water to shrink it further.
Mark
I give up. Before my ax gets sunk in my kitchen table. Okay i tried again and got it. I think. Luckily, if it unravels when I'm swinging it, I'll have something to take my frustration out on.
Excellent tutorial. I’ll be making a protective collar using this method. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Very informative. I just finish wrapping a hatchet. Perfect instructions.
I didn't go way down on the comment list.
Two things;
One:good simple instructional. Was to the point and clear.
Two:thanks for not trolling and making a stink about this man's accent.
Keep it up, bro!
👍😎
: OUTSTANDING instructional video : 🐢 😀 🐢 😲
Great video. I wish you had a video on how to fix a walking cane handle. Mine needs repaired and I don't want to buy a new cane because the grip on the handle is bad.
The head of your hatchet is on upside down... just saying.
Cool wrap, much love. But is no one noticing the axe head fashioned upside down. Just saying
Сначала сам топор приведи в порядок. Он рубит не красотой ручки, а острым и чистым лезвием.
is it just me or does the ax head look like its upside down
Thanks for sharing i appreciate your skill
Geoff Price
Yep, it is LOL
I watched the vid was about to comment...but ya beat me to it...funny stuff
It is
This is my favorite so far. Using for some extra flair on my motorcycle clutch and brake levers...
Ahh a tightened birds nest rope coil essentially! Ive made quick bracelets of this technique as well 😁
Entertaining video. Great tutorial. Who mounted your axe head upside down?
Great video! Saludos
for anyone wondering, an entire axe handle like this done from top to bottom would take about 35 feet.
+spankyspankworth
Thank you for taking the time to comment!
This has probably puzzled many.
Mark
+spankyspankworth Thanks, I was just going to ask that very question. LOL
spankyspankworth
' v
Thanks !!
spankyspankworth preesh!! Thanks for the tutorial as well I liked how you explained it and showed it clearly unlike many
This is great. Thanks. I am going to use this to wrap the handle of a suitcase I use for flying to identify it.
Interested in how you make a wrist strap for a hatchet
Why is the bit upside down?
Personal preference??
Ok
Great video ive looked at plenty found them confusing left my head spinning but this video I found very informative best ive seen not rushed showing in detail great job 👍
Great instructions and awesome wrap. Thanks for posting this
I did my ape hangers on my Harley! Looks sick! Almost 100 ft a side
I didn't see anything explaining how to close the knot to make sure it doesn't come undone.
How do you make it stay I did it for my dad's axe and it just slipped off any suggestions?
Wonderful wrap. It's on the handle of my backpack and looks terrific!
Oh yea this is getting put on something in the shop. lol.
Thank u...i learn now...practice makes a man perfect
I just did this on my hatchet. it looks pretty crappy compared to yours but it was my first time doing it and I need practice. I will be posting a video on it.
Keep practicing man, I've done this method 4 times and the last one I just did looks perfect! It's about keeping the loose end going down and making sure it's all even with each wrap.. and also going consistently left right left right etc
How long does the paracord need to be
Great video
Easy to follow
Thanks
Many thanks for this interesting video !
Best regards from Berlin
HaJo
So THAT'S how you do that! Thanks man!
I did it. I ran outa cord and just joied a bit and jept goin twice but it still worked
Thank you
This is awesome !! Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome, thank you very much for sharing.
Great tutorial, I've been looking for a new wrap for hiking sticks and I think I found it here! Thanks.
I'm making a bushwalking stave. Would this be suitable as a handle, or can you suggest a knot I can use..
Hey!
There is so much to choose from, it would be hard to suggest just one technique :). Take a look at the various wraps featured on the channel first to see what is possible! Generally, it should work well, as long as you do it tight.
I used a similar technique to make a steering wheel wrap, which could be applied to a stick as well:

The 2 color ringbolt hitching also looks very nice:

Hope that helps!
Mark
I did this on my husbands staff. It turned out perfectly
Interesting
Did you now?
I think I'm going to attempt this on my motorcycle grips
did you do it? how much in length do you need for each handle?
This awesome tutorial did 5 things.
1. I Learned a new skill.
2. Gave the otherwise flat metal triangle butt stock a 1/4” inch cheek riser as I had hoped.
3. Made the metal buttstock albeit still cold how ever completely tolerable to use in cold temperature conditions as intended.
4. I also incorporated a sling loop at the end.
5. Finally as well as added some survival cordage in the event.
Thank you so much for putting this out there. 🎉
Thank you so much for the vid! I appreciate it!
Great video: clear, concise, nicely composed & lighted! Thank you!
WOW, very nice and easy!!!
Traditionell-Skills rule!!!
Put this on my knife and it looks fucking sick thanks man
This is impractical the loop does not Titan all the way
I bought a Cold Steel tactical katana, but it came with an awful grip. It was like holding a chainsaw blade. I used the information in your video to warp over it with much more comfortable 550 paracord and now the sword is AMAZING and I have about 45 feet of paracord if I really need it! Thank you for your video! :D
Now that is what I like to hear!
Mark
I am doing the same thing on my Katana
Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure out a good way to wrap my hiking sticks for so long.
+Gh0sTr3C
Hey!
Glad to hear you find it useful!
Mark
i considered paracording my home, but figured the wrap would cost more than the trailer.
Hehe!
excellent tutorial thanks for posting.
wow am gona try this on my car staring wheel
Butterfly Girl what great idea! I may try that myself
Butterfly Girl be careful
why you say that?
Woooooooo
Awesome idea!
You basically wrapped where I would not wrap and left the area where wrapping is actually needed unwrapped... Nice technique though.
I must have add or a really bad case of the dumbass but I made a beautiful red cedar walking stick and trying to tie this for the handle and play it back slow as possible but for some reason it isn't slow enough. Sucks.
This is an eye catcher no doubt...but I see it more for decoration on things like walking sticks. Ax handles, knives, steering wheels and the like I have seen and read in the comments sound dangerous as hell if you consider slippage. Do you REALLY want to swing that thing or a katana without any wrap anchor other than a knot that is not even fed through the handle? They feed the Ito through bottom of a katana for a reason. It is worth doing, but I would definitely pass through the bottom before making the knot even if I had to drill a hole.
EXCELLENT !!! Thanks a lot for this
I love these videos! Thanks for posting
the way you're talking makes it sound like your making an ASMR video
How many feet of cord did you use?
