I'm currently making a paracord snake whip, and was hoping to find something other than that blocky knot (E) that everyone uses. I was hoping to find names for various knots to make internet searches easier. I like the oval shaped knot, and have seen some whips that seem to have the knot plaited directly into the overlay, rather than being placed over it. I can't find any tutorials for this style, but I would imagine it's probably a bit too complicated for a beginner.
Awesome video thank you. Question for you, where did you buy the lead you added? What was its original purpose? I would like to try and source it locally. Thanks again.
I get mine from a fishing store that sells supplies for making lures and so on. They come in sheets of about 10 by 4 inches. When cutting out those sheets they get a lot of scraps/uneven cuts they can't use or sell but they're perfect for me (with a bit of trimming). So I sometimes get the sheets and sometimes some scraps to a good price.
@@tbl513 They're 1mm thick. I find that to be just about perfect as I can wrap it snug around the base + easily adjust how much weight I ad to the heel. I'n this vid only one wrap was needed, on other whips I might need another wrap ontop of the first. In this instance the first wrap of lead was 1'' wide. If I needed another one I'd make that about 7/8'' wide to help with forming the base shape of the knot. But the final shaping is done with the sinew.
