Walking Stick

For many years I have had a "Moses-style" walking stick that I sometimes take with me when I go walking ... no lies!  Who would have thought?  I mean, what else would I do with it?

A few days ago I thought the walking stick could be enhanced by the addition of a wrapped paracord grip.  As is customary, I first researched a few methods on YouTube and then started to weave.  The long blue/ black/ white section in the middle may look like it is just wound around the stick, but as you see from the photos, each row is interwoven with 5 links into the previous and subsequent rows.  This style is called the "Fish Scale".  The style of the two silver-blue and orange/ black/ white collars at each end are called the "Headhunker's Knot".

The grip is very comfortable to hold and I think good to look at as well.  Now I need to go for a walk to try it out.
