I got my RMK 18-5 1/2 today and put a camo paracord wrap on the handle. I used the recommended technique where you make a loop, wrap toward the closed part of the loop, put the end thru the loop, and pull it tight.

This is my 1st try and I will probably redo it. Some things I learned:
1-Tough to get the wrap started tight.
2-Need to wrap tight and close together.
3-When you get to the end, need to get real close to the end but need leave some room for the cap to screw on wo leaving too much open space.

Live and learn!

Might not be to your satisfaction, but looks pretty damn good too me.
GREAT job

Thanks! I will see how it holds up over time. Hopefully it won't loosen up.

The cool thing is it's cheap and easy to redo.

Before you start wrapping break the newness out of the cord and it will wrap tighter.

Txs! I will give that a try.

Great knife, you will love it, just watch your fingers when cleaning the teeth, they be sharp!

I almost got nicked putting on the paracord!

Agree with Michael...you did a good job.

Don't forget to get your handle kit assembled and stowed. There are threads on that also. 18s are so cool.
