How to Cord Wrap the ESEE Izula Knife Tutorial 

Thanx for the video. I love the way you finished it too. A tip to get the cord really tight....carefully pour boiling water over the paracord & give it a warm place to dry. You'll be amased at how tight it will be!

Thanks Amanda, I have mine exactly like yours now, 12 loops and then tucked into the handle. Great to have the entire hole uncovered. cheers.

Nice, easy to follow directions. Thanks!

I like this wrap, and used it on the Izula I just got. But I found by using thinner cord to make two loops, putting them in and starting to wrap around them about half way through, I was able to use the loops to fish the ends back down and it only took a real quick and easy moment to do it this way. Didn't have a hemostat so I had to improvise and it worked quite well :)

It's nice to see a lady in this type of video!! :)

Personal preference would come in to play for sure, but as far as will the knife hold up? Yes it will! This thing is a beast! Enjoy

Just used this for my new izula II. great vid!

Green with purple. Excellent color combination!

Amanda, you are beautiful as you are talented. You did such a nice job showing us how to wrap that knife, I know it's going to look terrific now that you finished.

I just got my Fire Ant Red ESEE Izula in the mail..overall,I love it..the red coating is beautiful and I love the design..besides,what’s not to love about an ESEE knife? with that being said;it quickly reminded me why I don’t like using knives without some type of handle scales or atleast a wrapping..I didn’t quit have the money to spend on the black G10 scales and the molle backing when I ordered the knife but plan on ordering them tomorrow..I think I might get out some black paracord and wrap the handle so I can go ahead and start carrying it some before I get my scales..I mainly got it to strap on my rucksack with my Junglas and ESEE 4 for when I go out in the woods..I didn’t buy the Izula for EDC but as much as I think I’m gonna like it after I get my scales on it,I think I will cycle it in my EDC occasionally..although I don’t see anything taking the spot of my #1 EDC knife,my trusty Bradford Guardian 3

Freshly wrapped and sharpened. Thanks for the pointers.

It's a little hard to wrap it tight, yeah, but that's what the hemostat's for! In the Knot world it's called "Dressing the knot/wrap". Once it's tied you TIGHTEN it. Mine's wrapped tight, no nasty ends showing, and the paracord hasn't slipped a bit! I absolutely love this "Hidden end wrap". Thank you for sharing your amazing-ness Amanda!!! You rock my socks!

Thanks for explaining, Amanda!

I'm watching a ten year old video at this point but if your reading this thank you for your talents and skill. Job very well done little momma. Most appreciated.

Classy look by a professional! Very nice work and very helpful! 👍

Hey thanks, Amanda, that was a great tutorial! Thanks.

great idea on using the hemostats. Great video

Cool tutorial! I just picked up the red Izula from you guys.

great, concise video. I went with your method over the others because the cord isn't tied and it flat out looks better. BTW: my knife is the same really ugly green because it was a few bucks cheaper at that Blade Show. it's growing on me though.

Well done! Thanks very much. Very helpful.

just got one from your store the fire ant cant wait to wrap it with some black and red 550

Great. Nice handy work

Saving this for when mail comes! Thank you so much for this!!

Kids, dont use fire without supervission while you're playing with your extremely sharp knives. xD Nice video though

Awesome knife

Great vid!

Great video! I'm subscribed! Thx!!

Thank you Good job!

I do that too! Works well.

GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU !!!!

could you wrap the candiru the same way if not can u guys do a vid on wrapping the candiru

It's called a roach clip.

Thank you for the video.

Excellent!!!!. Un saludo desde España 🇪🇸✨

Great job girl

haha true indeed! i got all of my izula's wrapped up and looking sexy despite the mishap. Thanks for the tutorial!

@KnifeHQ I actually haven't gotten it yet, it should be coming in the next few days. I will let you know for sure!

I just realized All the comments are 4-6 yrs ago.. My Bad.. Or is it Me Bad ?? Lol

Must be sweet working with you guys.

Cool stuff Amanda :-)

YOLO I love blade hq!!!!!!!

Can you show a video illustrating a center stitch on this same weave for added wow factor?

Honesty worth the trouble to do it this way it's the cleanest way to para this knofe.

It seems to me you could do the same after wrapping one of the tails around the hole...but I won't try it since I like a different style wrap better. I might make a video when I re-wrap mine. (not that the information isn't out there--I like a variation on the "Strider handle wrap.")

There's a quicker way to do this if you take a couple of pieces of scrap cords from the core make loops and place them under your braid when you are done with your wrap feed the paracord through the loop and pull it through trim and burn and you don't have to worry about scratching the finish and any rust forming where you can't see it

I wonder what its like with 1/4" paracord for a fatter grip? does it end up too lumpy?

"Hey, it's Amanda at BladeHQ." Wassup, baby..

I like the handle wrap. Wow u did that quick! Only thing I woulda done different is also wrap the finger hole and give it a small tail. That's just an opinion tho

I think this made me want an Izula. It's green!!!!

will the izula toss sparks off of a phero rod, im concerned that the coating might prevent that.

How tight are you doing each wrap? I remember wrapping a full tang tomahawk handle, and it ended up bowing because the wrap was tight and there was more pull on one side to the other. This seems pretty even, so can it be pulled tight with each pass?

@tootenfart You can get them at fishing stores. They sell them for un hooking small fish, or fish with sharp teeth.

good job amanda its looks tricky though i make paracord bracelets and one takes me awhile so i think women have more patience then men when it comes to intricate tasks though lol

Clean

What did you do with the cord on the other side of the handle from the camera? Did you cross the cords?

Oh, and you could probably just loosen the last several wraps and feed the cord through. Then you'd tighten them again and pull the end. That would avoid needing the hemostat (though they come in very handy for these things anyway).

Спасибо за урок! Было познавательно посмотреть на красивую девушку и на то как она показывает очень полезные вещи! ещё раз, большое СПАСИБО из Холодной Русской Сибири! )))

Thanks

cool thanks

nice lady

Do you have any idea when there will be a sale on the izula? Want one but I don't have that much to spend

Is this knife good??

You're not the only one - I cut my ringfinger pretty bad for the same reason! ^^

So can i really call you up and just talk about what color i want? I would choose a blue izula if there was one but that would be alittle corny because i already have a blue delica i got from you guys. I think the red is alittle too much 'out there' but the standard colors are too plain. I like the venom green the best but i would rather have a white one and just putting it out there, imagine if esee made a chroma flair model? it obviously would have to be a gloss coating but still really cool

I think maybe It would be worth including a Hemostat in the kit.

Instead of hemostats or needle drivers, you should look for alligator forceps. They are very narrow and only the tip opens, not both arms, so you can get them into very narrow, long spaces. Thank me later!

2 days ago, i had no interest in this type of knife. Now I want multiples.

DBZ fan reminds me off Piccolo.

Do y'all sell paracord?

put the knife in a vise in between some gloves or something, that way you have full use of you hands to do the job

Wait, what...I didn't know she was holding a knife till I watched it the third time...😙

And if I was to wear it under my shirt as a neck knife would it be legal to carry without a concealed weapons permit?

I wish that thing was toxic green! :)

Wet the cord and let it dry it should draw up a tad for more secure fit

I would rather just have a lanyard rather then tuck it

Thanks. I used this video to wrap my CRKT, and I cut myself. The pictures are posted here. imgur-com/gallery/zP6XLFU just replace - with .

The technique is really interesting although it is really hard to wrap it tight this way. And when it's not wrapped tight, the cord will slip on the handle and get untied if you grip hard the knife or make some stabbing motions. And for me this was annoying as hell!

She has strong hands and she's cute

Is anyone else having a hard time seeing what she's doing ?? It seems to dark in the video.. ? Unless it just my eyes.. I like what she's doing but it all looks purple etc...

It cleared fine,sorry

Looks like she is killing the handle with the hemostat. stabbing the handle xD

wow nice nice great video!!! Can i just send my Izula to you so you can do it in a sky blue paracord?? How do I do that???? Hope to hear abck from ya'll soon!!! Panzer

Amanda is kinda cute.

The video was made in 2011 so it makes sense that a kid would be trusted with a fixed blade knife and not be trusted using a lighter😂

Amanda is a cutie.

0:39 like, oh i don't know, a knife? Maybe?

"kids don't do this at home without your pearents" i'd rather worry by a kid having a izula than manipulating a source of fire lol Great video ^^

Oh I see now. It's basically a fishtail weave.

I'd like to keep it as lightweight as possible, using as little paracord as possible. What would be the best wrapping technique for that? Thanks!

Bah. Don't have any paracord (yet), and don't have this knife (yet), but I was at an electronics store and saw they were selling these hemostats for less than 2 bucks apiece and almost bought a couple. Then I thought, WTF would I need these for? So dumb. I mean, for so cheap, it's better to buy something that you may never usually need than to one day need it and have to think back on that time when you talked yourself out of it just to save four dollars... XD

Love my Izula I put a quick wrap in mine👍 Check it out on my channel ESEE Izula venom green 1095 carbon steel survival/bushcraft knife

Blurry picture

Having adequate light so that the viewers could actually see what this woman was doing would have been a nice touch; this video looked like it was shot by candle light......with the candle being on the far side of the room. And the use of dark purple paracord didn't help either.

i just cut the Sh*t out of my thumb cuz the sheath popped off.... :( *let that be a warning for you!*

joker coloers

Amanda is kinda cute

"The sharp part of the knife" are you actually serious?

i dont think that is such a good wrap, disappointed....yeah, she is kinda cute though. =)

So what you end up with is a knife scratched to shit from the hemostats and rusting because you can't oil it there.

Hemostat? Who the fuck owns a hemostat? The Esee Izula is meant for Campers, Back-packers, Survivalists, Preppers, EDC folk and such. We all; instead, have a Multi-Tool or a Swiss Army knife at hand. Rather say tweezer. My biggest gripe however, is in hiding access to the para-cord. You need instant access to the para-cord in case of emergency. That is the whole idea behind a "skeletonized knife": i.e. a very sturdy full tang blade wrapped in para-cord that can be accessed easily! Tight wrap though; I thank you.
