Pretty Much! I have known some knots from when I was younger but never tried tying paracord.

Thanks Guys!!!!! Jeff, Coming from you that means a lot!! Brad, Pm inbound. also that one took me hours to get right :) lol

In a recent order to USA Knife Maker Supply, I ordered 3 25 foot sections of paracord, I figured I would try out makin' some lanyards. Well.......I love it. I am having a blast. I made a small monkey fist, slip on bracelet for me, keychain, 3 lanyards, a slip on bracelet for my 3 year old...

For me, making the sheath is just as rewarding as the knife. At first I was not going to make sheaths but decided I better. I love working with leather and as with my knives I learn more with every sheath I make!!

Thanks Bill!!!! That helps a lot!! Go ahead and put it on your lansky, I tried but mine must be off cause I thought I was getting a better angle than that. Don't forget the Pics :)

Thanks Guys!!! Don't worry, James I will never forget my fellow Dogs!!! JS, It is tough but I strive to do my best and with each knife they get better. I am away all week so being able to be in the shop is nice!!

Thanks Guys!! Dave, You did help a lot. With out you I might have never started leather work!! Wayne, Yeah I know it is nice to let the boss know this place is appreciated. I try to as much as I can but with other forums getting uptight about cross forum threads and even mentioning other...

Thanks Boss, No need to thank me.....after all This is the best forum around. Knifedogs.com has done so much for me that I could never repay, athough I do my best at helping others out with what I have learned and also helping the forum itself when I can.

Ok, Today I attacked some PVC, a cardboard tube and another 2X4, It did well. It would not shave after the pvc but after a quick sharpening it was back to shaving sharp. I would have to say this is my favorite Steel that I have had the oppertunity to try out. It holds an edge really...

Steve is right, Nothing helps more than people telling you what is wrong with something, in there mind. That is how simple mods can make a knife 100% better. I am not taking this as negative feedback, its all possative. Thanks a lot James, I m proud of this one, even though there are things...
