I have a machete with a paracord wrapped handle and after some abuse the cord does move around and has to be readjusted. It does help with padding the blows though. Perhaps a knife wouldn't be so bad, not as much abuse but could become a mess if it gets bloody.
You're right! I didn't even think about the blood. I might rethink using para cord for a handle.
Here is a web site that shows how to make them http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Paracord-Combat-Bracelet
Made my dog a collar today. He's so dang little and blends in, I let him out and can't ever find him. I wanted a floro orange collar for a while, but haven't been able to locate one small enough, other than the wally world junk, and they are not orange
I found some floro orange cord, and I had a spool of camo cord. I used the buckles and the ring on a collar he had from when he was a puppy
Took me about an hour and a half to tie it up. It looks good on him, he likes it, and I can actually see him in the yard now!
Can that technique be doubled in width for a rifle sling? Or would you just use a thicker cord?

Yes, you absolutely can. However you need 2X the length of the cord. All you do is when you get done, you run the stitch back the other way on top of the first stitch
A single cobra stitch uses approx 1' of cord per 1". So to do one for a rifle sling, king cobra stitched(estimating 25") you will need 50' feet of cord
Definitely doable, would take about a 12 pack to tie it
I actually did one for my X-bow. Doesn't look that good but its sufficient. I just used some cheap camo cord from Wal mart
I may get some good para cord from the Mil-surplus shop and make one for my AR one rainy day
