Nah rocketfoot. I'm 70 yrs. old and worked in some rough jobs.....Concrete, Industrial sandblasting among others and my hands have gone through alot. I had a monitor lizard break my left hand (bite). Broken other fingers various ways and I've got arthritis on top of that and I tie those two knots routinely.
You might be surprised what you're able to tie with paracord. I didn't think my hands were nimble enough to tie knots but those aren't too difficult. I'll admit there's some I have great difficulty with and just gave up on them but those knots are doable for me.
The hard part for me is remembering how to tie certain knots if I don't tie them often.
Paracord Planet (the website) has tutorials on how to tie those and many more. You should buy a few feet of paracord and give it a try.
Lots of different sizes and colors/patterns that one doesn't always see available already done.
West Country Whipping Wrap is a good one for handles and gives a great grip on knives and tool handles. One of my favorites and not real hard to do.
