What is your favorite, most trusted paracordsmithing tool? Give me some examples of the one you cannot live without! :cheers2:
small butane torch similar to this: small jewlery pliers: Ive also made a couple fids out of nitting needles but I dont use them as often.
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:
The most used tool for us is a simple pair of very sharp high carbon scissors.. every project starts with a nice clean cut
