What is your favorite, most trusted paracordsmithing tool? Give me some examples of the one you cannot live without! :cheers2:

My most used tool besides my jig would be my pair of forceps.

Thats ok for cutting paracord but how do you finish weaves like the the fish tail bracelet?
Considering a single strand used, I would tie the end in a simple knot, cut, burn the ends and push them flat to make a rivet of sorts. That's how I finish all my projects.

What I do with the end is pull the inners out a little, cut them off, so only the outer sheath is left on the end. Then I melt it so the rivet is as close to the color of the project as possible. If you melt it right, it won't char as much. :cheers2:

I would like to see a pic of some of your finished projects showing what you described above.
