How To Braid A Diamond Tread Pattern For Your Bullwhip Handle - A Tutorial
In this video I'd like to show you how to set up and braid a 24-plait handle for your bullwhip, in what looks like the common slip resistant pattern seen on floors and toolboxes around the world.
This is different from the 24-plait we are used to, as there are two types of strands being used together - Type #95 paracord, and 550 paracord. Three strands are being plaited together at the same time to make up this pattern, so don't let the large number of strands scare you! These two different types of cord working together don't just create a unique look, they also create excellent grip and comfort in the hand.
