ECF, I picked that technique up from a friend in the Corps. It really isn't hard. Just wrap the cord around the handle with a piece of shorter cord on both sides hanging over the long "wrapping cord. Then, just weave it. over one, under one, over one under one...................

L4D, that's an awesome idea. I didn't realize it before, but now I feel like I can't live without a Dog Father bayonet on my Benelli 12 gauge.
