I love a d guard on my chopper,it gives me a sense of security(or my knuckles at least).
I did this one last year on my B11 with some tether cord from countycomm.
It was my first attempt & wasn't tied evenly,but it worked.
I used the tether cord because it was the only orange I had at the time,(I love orange on my outdoor gear)plus it was easier to thread multiple strands through the talon holes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Fast forward to last weekend.
In anticipation of camping soon,I tried again on my custom chopper with some cheap paracord I got on ebay,it came out decent enough I think,but the cord isn't true paracord.
It has 5 strands inside,but it wants to flatten out.(Maybe it's just old?)
Makes even knot tying kind of a beiatch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Then I braided the tether cord from the B11 together to make the lanyard.(Killed my fingers & wrists doing the braiding) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

While I was feeling creative,I made a sheath too.

Then I used some black with orange cord from County.Comm on my B11.
This one came out much better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Good cord makes all the diference. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />










Sorry about the in hand shot.(you try it with your off hand.) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Welp,the weathers getting warm on the east side & the snow is finally melting.
I think I'll do a recon run this weekend & see what roads are open.
If I get a chance to use the big boys I'll be sure to post pics.
Woof Woof!
