When I tied my diced hose up, I put the handle so the ties went over the "nubby" stag handle and that kept mine secure even when running, jumping, or "taking a hit." When a close friend in our unit moved away, he had always admired it so much, I gave it to him to remember us by. So now I have to make another, along with a dirk and knife and fork set for it.
