Detail of select tools
DIY Fid, Finished paracord end, Kleen-Kut Paracord scissors & buoy wrap scissor cover
I've accumulated quite a few tools in my years as a knotter/rigger but you really don't need very much to get started in the hobby. When I first started tying, my most commonly used tool was the Dr. Slick Spring Creek Clamp, 5", Black, Straight. You'll find many less expensive "hemostats" on Amazon, this just happens to be the one I picked up at an outdoor outlet many years back. It served as a fid, a "pusher" and a puller. I don't use them for tying much any more, I "thread" with a fid more than I pull through these days, but I do use them for finishing the ends of paracord — see below.
As I said, I now use "fids" or lacing needles regularly. My first fids were homemade — machined by spinning an aluminum Chicago screw in a drill press and shaping it with a file. I progressed to using a pair of the Tandy Leather Long Jumbo Perma-Lok Needle 1193-05 that I'd modified by shortening and shaping the tips to be more needle like. I wouldn't bother these days because purpose made fids are readily available: 3 1/2" Stainless Steel 550 Paracord Fid, Lacing, Stitching Needle. I have fids and Perma-Lok needles in a variety of sizes to accommodate different cords — I don't use 550 exclusively.
Though not completely necessary I do find the Knotters Tool II (Stainless Steel) w/ 3 Different Size Stainless Steel Lacing Needles by Jig Pro Shop to be handy and it includes three fids. An aluminum version is available too, but I'm never one to shy away from investing in a tool that will last. I also use a 4 3/4" Paracord Tucking Tool (Stainless Steel) for tucking and smoothing. You can probably find a similar tool at the local pharmacy, and maybe even at a dollar store.
The best cutting tool I've found for paracord are the Kleen-Kut scissors sold by Paracordist.com. Unfortunately, the store is currently down so I can't supply a link. You can use good quality flush-cutters, bandage scissors or a good, sharp pair of "Fiskars" (or similar scissors) and they will all work. However, I tried everything I could to avoid buying the "special" scissors and, in the end, wish I'd just done it sooner.
My technique for finishing the ends of paracord: Clamp the end of the cord at a 45 degree angle with the hemostats. Cut the cord flush with edge of the clamp. Run a lighter along the edge of the cord to seal. While the cord is still warm, remove the clamp and, if necessary, re-clamp to the very end to squeeze and seal the end. Tuck the end back into the workpiece. If the end is going to be exposed I will sometimes remove a small length of the core first, then trim and seal just the jacket for a flatter, neater finish.
I do sometimes use a hot knife for finish work. Most often the Weller P2KC Professional Self-igniting Cordless Butane Soldering Iron. If I'm at my bench I do have an Engel Heat Cutter HSGM Hot Knife w/ Type R Blade available (used for "big rope" and purchased when I was rigging boats professionally) but it's total overkill for paracord work. I am intrigued by the Hand Held Electric Hot Knife Rope Cutter Set - 100 Watt, Cutting Blade (HHHK-HS18. The tool is probably not as durable as the Engel, but if one isn't using it all day, every day it's likely suitable. One Advantage of these "rope guns" is that they heat up almost instantly but, truthfully, the Weller doesn't take very long to come up to temperature and it's much more portable. Whichever you choose, it’s easy to mar your piece with the hot knife so I generally use the hemostats as a shield. (And again, I'm more often just using the lighter/hemostats for paracord work.)
I also keep a needle case with sail-makers needles and whipping twine (wrapped around the needle case) handy for stitching and whipping. (In a pinch, a single strand of 550 core makes a decent twine, particularly if you pass it along a block of wax.)
I want to emphasize that you don't need all of these tools, you might not really need any of them, but I do find that assembling a good kit and having the right tool available can help overcome tricky problems. I'd say that the Knotter's tool (admittedly, my attachment to this tool may be due to my love for marlin spikes in general) with it's fids—or barring that, just a set of fids—the hemostats, a good pair of scissors and a lighter would make a decent field kit. Add the rest of the stuff to your knotting bench over time. Or not.
I'll also say that there was a certain satisfaction to making and improvising my tools in the early days but now that there are so many quality purpose made tools available via Amazon I don't find it's worth my time any more. (I have a wooden bracelet/collar jig that I made but I recently acquired the aluminum jig from Acid Tactical and I think it's just brilliant and even assigning a lower value to my time than I normally would, much cheaper to buy than build.) I do have a plan to machine a set of Delrin fids and pushers for low-profile air travel "one of these days"
Hope this helps.

That one is the holy grail of ropeworking books. I have yet to get my hands on it so I have never seen it but everyone serious about the hobby loves it.

That is the creative ropecraft. The illustrations can be a bit difficult but its a great beginner book.

This is a nice cheap book too, I have never seen it myself but it is one that is recommended a lot on various youtube ropecraft channels.
That's the 1" Alu-max buckle - I've used some different ones but theirs has a great finish and holds up the best. here they are on amazon, but I can't remember where I bought mine
I'm a cigar smoker, and I have carried this Jetline Quad Torch lighter for a couple years, after blowing through a bunch of Xikar single-jet lighters-- Xikars have a lifetime warranty, but I had to get mine replaced twice before I switched away for good.
Jetline is cheap and reliable, and while mine sips fuel, other smokers I know who use them find them to be fuel hungry, but they probably smoke mroe than I do. They definitely make lighters with fewer jets, (3 and 2 for certain; maybe single), but since I'm lighting cigars am after a different amount of heat than you are.
I did get a cheap knock-off at a smokeshop for about $10 last time I travelled to visit my sister's family across country, so that I could leave it there and use it, since I can't fly with a Jetline, no way no how-- neither the TSA nor the FAA will allow it. No idea how long that'll last, but it doesn't have to work hard.
But I think I'm really happy with the Jetline reliability, and considering that, the price is outstanding; I've paid a lot more for a lot worse lighters.
Good to know. This is my work flashlight and I think I might wrap it. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is the custom 550 paracord watchband that I ordered form Trilobite Tactical (aka TriloTac). for my original black Pebble. You may have seen me talk about this before, but until recently I was rocking a prototype. This is the final version!
You can customize your own Trilotac watchband for Pebble, here: http://shop.trilotac.com/Tactical-Watch-Band-Fits-Pebble-Smart-Watch-432474393847.htm
About my custom order: My band is a Trilobite weave, with black paracord primary, and a secondary paracord that has both reflective, and glow in the dark tracers! The accent rings are anodized red aluminum. The lugs and clasp are powdercoated black. Lastly, there is a waterproof compass that's wove into the band. The compass has glow in the dark markings, as well as three tritium vials for alignment and north, that glow all the time. The compass is very much like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Cammenga-Tritium-Wrist-Compass-Black/dp/B0016SRA58/
NOTE: The magnetic field of the compass, screws with the Pebble's magnetometer pretty bad, so I can't really use the new compass apps. So if that's important to you, don't get a watch band with a compass! I ordered this a year ago though, long before we had such apps.

Let me know if you have other questions!
Perma-lok needles are great, but sometimes I prefer to use plain old needle nose pliers (link is the exact pair I use - I broke them once, just walked in to my local Sears and exchanged them). Also consider a pair of electrician's long-nose pliers (like the ones on the right here, they have textured jaws so you can really yank on the paracord to tighten/loosen it.
As for cutting the cord, some people have recommended sewing scissors. I can't speak for how well they work because I just use the trimmer that I bought to trim my cats' claws. They're tiny so they pack away very easily, and they make a super clean cut. In a pinch you can use angle cutters, the cutter part of a regular pair of needle nose pliers, normal scissors, or a knife - they just won't give you a very clean cut. An exception to this is a knife you don't care about: get it hot and cut the cord on something you don't care about (like a block of scrap wood) at a 45 degree angle; this will "cauterize" the cord and let you thread the newly cut end into a perma-lok needle, the knife doesn't even need to be very sharp.
I use a Bic lighter to singe the ends of my cord, but a butane torch is next on my list of tools to get - I think it'll be faster and cleaner.
For paracord, buy 100' at a time. For some of my projects I buy 1000' spools, but you don't need that to start. If you ever want to make a whip or a hammock though, 100' just won't cut it.
I just made my first last week with this 3/4 inch steel bearing.
I didn't need a jig whatsoever. Found a tutorial on youtube and it was easy as pie. I wish I got a pack of larger bearings though. Next time I'll order a pack of 1 inchers.
I carry a SOG slimjim. It's about 3/8" thick overall and actually quite robust. It is an assisted opening and opens quick and smooth. I carry it everywhere and have used it quite a bit. I recommend it highly. Here's a link for Amazon which is where i got mine, it's actually cheaper now lol. Edit: it takes a little practice to get used to the assisted opening as it's just thumb screws, but its not too bad IMO.

These work fine:

Also available in 1" and up sizes for a little more.
They are cheaper ($8 for 10) if you don't go with stainless, but I would go with stainless.
I would have to look and see if shipping was worth it, but I have a few 1" chrome steel left if you want to try one out.
Open for suggestions! Looking to start a new project with a Citizens dive watch I found when I was diving in Florida.
Edit: Like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032FOTRA/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687602&amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_i=B0032FOTT8&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=1X1KGQ52K8B1DYN9X2SJ
You might be able to get close...
It really depends on the kind of watch you're working with.
You Could buy some cheap rubber watch bands. cut them so just the bit that attaches to the watch and a little extra material is left... and then drill holes for the paracord.
You'd have to be careful not to drill too close to the edges because i have a feeling Paracord might wear through over time if there's any flex or movement at all... or it could just tear straight through a hole with not enough material surrounding it.

Where can you get paracord shoelaces? From paracord, I would think.
For real, though, I don't think paracord shoelaces are anything more that lengths of para sealed at the ends. This Lifehacker is what you are talking about and it just says that it requires paracord and that you can remove the core to flatten the laces.
