I know everyone likes to see nice grips in wood, antler, etc...but there are some real advantages to lowly para-cord wraps.
I think they have the best griping surface on a wet greasy knife in the field. You can use bright colors to keep track of where you laid your knife down. They are very easy and fast to put on. I did this one in less than 10 minutes this morning. Speed in application for a fresh handle is a good thing in that their one down fall is they do get smelly if not washed well after field dressing game
This one will be pickin' bears apart this June...tippit
