made my own version of the CS Walkabout stick, except mines from premium Canadian Grade douglas fir heartwood fatwood. Used my Scrapyards to shape it, and then used a rag soaked in olive oil to remove the slight stickiness and give it a nice hand rubbed sheen wrapped it in desert ACU paracord and soaked the wrap with HOT STUFF superglue. Its the perfect length for city carry and at 4lbs puts a nice hurt on when swung. clickable thumbnails ![[Linked Image from img210.imageshack.us]](http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4210/img0487mo.th.jpg) ![[Linked Image from img59.imageshack.us]](http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/4848/img0491ff.th.jpg) ![[Linked Image from img709.imageshack.us]](http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/5664/img0492v.th.jpg) ![[Linked Image from img205.imageshack.us]](http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/9862/img04872.th.jpg)

B5 - I like the crosshatch on the para winding. Did you add that or is it just the way the para is? Thanks

It's better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it.

I like it! The wrap turned out well.
Inside each knife is a new adventure waiting to be had...maybe some blood and probably some suture.
