I understand cord/extra cord but for some reason to me having it be used as the handle for a knife always strikes me as "wrong" in that you seem to be sacrificing a more effective handle to get some cord that you would most likely be using first thing in a survival situation.

Am I just looking at it the wrong way?


good point... but i can't think of any other way to get a handle on there, without doing something more "permanent." since this is my kayak blade (not survival, per se), chances are, i'm not going to be using the paracord for anything in particular... it will be first and foremost a nice grippy handle when wet.

to everyone else, thanks for the links. this is exactly the info i was looking for, but couldn't seem to figure out the right combination of search terms for google.
