How much 550 Paracord is needed to replace the wrapped handle? Would 25' be enough?
272060
Depending on how tightly you wrap, 25' should cover it. The grip is roughly 6". 550 paracord is 4mm (5/32 inches) thick.

Either would be a good primary knife. The paracord wrapped knife does have the advantage of being a fixed blade (full tang) and having the paracord for emergency use.

Hello jd, The diameter of the paracord is 1/8' or 4mm. For product specific questions like this, it's best to contact the seller about the product. It'll be a much quicker response. Thanks!

I suppose you could tie a long string around the handle and drop it in. Or drill a hole in the handle and use a chain. But personally would call the company, they are very responsive and may have some better ideas. They seem to be very consumer oriented and are always looking to improve their products.

I tied some paracord around the neck. Then I found these handles: http://www.amazon.com/Juglug-Handle-Hydro-Bottles-2-pack/dp/B00JC34WOG/ref=pd_sbs_sg_10?ie=UTF8&refRID=037CK3K6CDSC9PN7BK93

You should replace the whole unit. You will be looking for a while just for the handle.

It was quite easy to remove the old wrap. If you don't, you will use much more rope than you think it will take, and may not get it as tightly wound. If you do as you are suggesting, please let us know how it goes.

Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) . It will elongated over time under load (a feature to add some elasticity to a hanging paratrooper). As for the rest of the things you describe paracord won't mildew/mold and relatively weather resistant. The knots will hold but make sure you using knots that work well with slippery cord. At the very least you will want to throw an overhand knot at the running ends of your knots as stoppers. And strength shouldn't be an issue. You may want to use nylon straps as they will probably work better in this case. Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) .

The braided cable has a diameter of approximately 3/16". The length of the cable is difficult for me to judge (I have it installed in an attic and the cable is running through several pulleys along the rafters), but it is easily 50' and I would guess that it is closer to 60', but I am not absolutely sure. Yes, the wire could be replaced with a nylon rope, just make sure that you burn the end that is attached to the pulley (to ensure a stronger connection with the wedge used to tie the cable/rope to the winch.

I would guesstimate about an inch or so just from memory. I'll try to remember to measure the length of the handle when I get home tonight.

Yes - Youl will have to vist the manufacturers website (or search on amazon.com a little bit more) to buy a replacement handle. I think there are more cold steel products that use this particular wooden handle.

Cable dia. is 3/32 (.093); Cable length 50'. I see no reason that the cable couldn't be replaced by nylon rope.

It wasn't easy but I was able to tie a new knot in the end closest to the handle. I did this on mine since out of the box it had a 1/4" gap when fully closed.

I definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

Do not understand the question if it came unscrewed screw it back. Chapin sell almost every part you may need. I added 25ft of hose with a few clamps and fittings. To answerer your question need more information.
