"MAN-knitting" (pic heavy)

Post by Sapper-FIN » Thu Oct 23, 2008 3:23 pm

Or "combat knitting" or whatever you wanna call it, to make it sound more masculine :lol:

Anyway, what can you do with a parachute cord and skull beads?

These for example:

(yes, i´ve made those myself, and before you start cracking jokes, let me tell you; this is serious business.. Just look at the mean looking skulls and stuff :lol: :lol: )

Yes, well - why not?

Type an interesting text and explain that you made them on your own.

I experiences that the more professional the description on ebay is, the more you get for the item.
Even if it's crap
Type facts and hightlight them

and then 3,2,1 theirs :D

But not all at once, do test aution there to see if the things are wanted and to make sure you get at least the money for the material back.

Scared? Why? Is it because of the skulls? :) Dude, you gotta have skulls.. I have skulls in one form or another in my belt, key lanyard, wallet, zippers pulls of my assault backpack (which also has a jolly roger velcro flag in it) :D

The one on the second picture is my personal fav too!

I have thought of that... I like this little hobby of mine, and want to continue doing it.. So selling those might be a good idea. The paracord stuff you can find from ebay are mostly knife lanyards.. So i guess there might be a market for key fobs, key lanyards, etc..

Thx for the compliments guys!

The knife you have there?

Looks strange because it has not the typcal metal look.
Looks like PTFE coated or something?

The are teflon-coated... It protects the blade and it´s easier to keep clean... Looks nice too :)

What I like is this "layered" steel. A time ago they made knifes out of the steel of the old Leopard 1 main battle tanks that were replaced by the Leo 2 tanks.

And I saw ceramic coated knifes to. These have a white blade then.

But I don't have any knife except my good old Leatherman tool :D
