Knotty Pirate

Here is a picture of the handle of one of my walking sticks. I tied a series of Half Hitches or French Whipping (ABOK #3450) in BLACK paracord. Then I took 2 lengths of PURPLE paracord and I tied 2 Turks Heads Knots on the top and the bottom of the French Whipping. The Turks Heads are 5 bite, 3 lead knots that have been tripled.

The French Whipping gives the handle a nice grip that doesn't slip when my hands get sweaty on a hike...
