How to tie the Snake Braid

[91bravo]

For all the Heads here, I've posted this on various forums, might as well share here too!

This one is my favorite of all the braids

Start off like this

Take the left strand and wrap it over and under the right strand

Take right strand and wrap it under the left strand

Take that same strand and put it through the loop you just created on the right side

Carefully cinch down

It should look like this when cinched

Repeat above steps

Just tie the same knot over and over again until you reach the length you desire!


You can even do 2 colors with this one as well

Thank you for the excellent demo, I have been wanting to learn some paracord magic.

That's my bk20 riding in a Rednose sheath!

Nice looking leather. Definitely has some great personality. Looks like you could drop a Ruger Vaquero in there and it would be right at home.

She still has that thread somewhere. Ever since we exited that other place, I don't think she wants to join any other forums!

Thanks for the reminder. I really like the black and white!
I did a ton of lanyards 3 or 4 years ago, though none in the snake style.
I've completely forgotten how to do them.
Should really get back in practice - most of my latest additions are currently cordless.

If you can find it, and post it up, it would be much appreciated and be awesome! I don't remember how to do it unfortunately. I just remember tying it on grandma's izula but the knife needs a good DEEP clean and sharpening so the wrap has to come off. She likes it though so I wanted to put it back on there. Hers is tied up with pink and orange reflective so she can find it easy. It's actually pretty hilarious.

lol The main reason why I don't want to post it is because we gave up on pretty much everything branded ESEE! It was on the old ESEE forum, but all that information is lost forever!

Got ya! Sorry, sounds like some heinous falling out happened. That sucks. No worries I'll try to "reverse engineer" it as I take it off.
