I just did another single strand coxcomb just below it. All 550 cord work on my hiking staff have a reason for being there. On a hike, you never know if you will need cordage. I carry about 30-feet of cord on my hiking staff just in case. Thanks for the post. I very much enjoy following your blog.<br /><br />Blazing Skies!!<br />War-PigAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322060651289783497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-53412024294913967892010-02-08T21:15:03.871-05:002010-02-08T21:15:03.871-05:00The pineapple knot is a variation of a turk's ...The pineapple knot is a variation of a turk's head knot, but I've just done the basic turk's head types.<br /><br />I'm sure someone on the <a href="http://pineapple.myfunforum.org/" rel="nofollow">Pineapple Knot Forums</a> or <a href="http://khww.net/forum/viewforum.php?forum_id=17" rel="nofollow">Knot Heads World Wide</a> will have good suggestions on how to do them and likely a tutorial to follow as well. :)Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-89093712813960044902010-02-08T21:00:42.080-05:002010-02-08T21:00:42.080-05:00Hey stormdrane i have a question for you i am maki...Hey stormdrane i have a question for you i am making a 12 strand round braid mecate reins for my horse out of paracord for how durable it is out on the trails. I have heard of people finishing them off with a "pineapple" knot i have not had any luck with this knot so i was wondering if you new of it and if so how you would go about doing it.

I do occasionally get asked to meet and teach/share some knot work, but I've not committed to anything like that. <br /><br />There are usually at least a few folks that tie lanyards at the annual <a href="http://www.blademag.com/bladeshow/" rel="nofollow">Blade Show</a>. <br /><br />Some of the knife makers have some knotted paracord or leather work displayed with their knives and some attendees can be seen walking around with some of their own work hanging from a bag/backpack.<br /><br />Members of some online forums may also have times to meet and greet while at the show: Usual Suspect Network, EDC Forums, Knifeforums, Multitool.org, Bladeforums, All About Pocket Knives, Jerzee Devils, Spyderco Forums, Microholics, Benchmade Forums, CandlePowerForums, etc... There are usually threads about who's going and such. I've been to a few of the shows just to look around, but didn't attend last year.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-42777261999586279722010-02-08T16:53:30.708-05:002010-02-08T16:53:30.708-05:00I love your work.

He commented that you were local to where I live (Griffin, Ga.) and was curious whether or not there was a group getting together anywhere in the local area to sort of show and tell concerning knots? Is there such a thing locally going on? If not should there be?rawdinsroosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249601286553514381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-23659467764193537732010-02-07T18:55:27.140-05:002010-02-07T18:55:27.140-05:00Fabulous blog!

I haven't added a single different colored strand to any like that, but my description was how I'd do it if I did. Just add a long enough paracord piece to fit around the diameter of the fist with the ends secured under one side.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-89591045873724631792010-02-05T19:26:37.207-05:002010-02-05T19:26:37.207-05:00Thanks, kind of makes sense to me.

Hemostats or very thin needle nosed pliers could also be used if you don't have a lacing needle.<br /><br />I'd think a putting a small drop of super glue on the ends of the separate color and tucking them will make a permanent hold if the friction from a fully tightened fist isn't enough.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-14486350798272867462010-02-05T15:30:43.583-05:002010-02-05T15:30:43.583-05:00Your work is great Stormdrane, I could not find an...Your work is great Stormdrane, I could not find any other way to contact you on here, but I have a question for you, I have been making Monkey's Fist for a long time. I recently saw some online with thin blue lines and thin red lines in them. I was wondering if you had any tips on how I could do this so I could make them for my department.<br /><br />ThanksTrevor Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385900817714654905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-22549408239089155372010-02-05T10:00:45.907-05:002010-02-05T10:00:45.907-05:00Great work Stormdrane!
