Show Us Your Knot Tying

[TheBishop]

Hey man, your work looks great to me!

Damn nice!

[Stormdrane]

Here's the star knot used with a fixed blade for a no-snag type lanyard with the loop worked up against the handle with single strand hanging down(less likely to snag on brush when hiking), loop extended as a wrist lanyard, or thumb and loop across the back of the hand secure method...

Great idea and work!
Is that regular paracord or tether?

Thanks That's 1/16" diameter cord, Atwood Rope Mfg I believe, which fit the lanyard hole on that particular knife since paracord was slightly too large for it.

[TheBishop]

Nice! It looked a bit smaller than tether.
Got to snag some, nice find

another bracelet i just finished

What is this braid/knot called?

[Stormdrane]

Here's a 'Star Grommet', tied following instructions from Stuart Grainger's book, 'Creative Ropecraft'. It starts off as a 'Drummer Boy's Plait', then is wrapped around a cylinder, I used a 2 liter soda bottle cap, the ends are joined, and the knot is doubled and tightened. I may try using it as a finger loop lanyard...



And with my Kershaw Nerve...

This is the first of a three part video series on making the two color Monkey's Fist keychain fob. I've never seen any two-color monkeys fist how to videos, so this is my take on the process. Any similarity to someone else's approach is coincidental, and if I learn better ways to do this maybe I'll do a follow-up video. The finished keychain fob can be used in self defense applications, it can be tied to the ends of 550 cord to create a boleadora (bolas), or it can be used to weigh a heaving line for nautical and other purposes. This first video segment will demonstrate the use of the exclusive monkey's fist jig and two strands of 550 para cord to form the knot. I'll soon be following up with Part II which will show the proper tightening of the monkeys fist (a task I took for granted, but many people have requested that I film). Finally, Part III will show the formation of the doubled lanyard knot with a loop.

Here are some para items I made

Various bracelets



Snake knot lanyards. The 2 on top are removable

A short 'Beanstalk Bar'(pattern by JD of TIAT) paracord fob, tied with a couple of feet of cord on my Kershaw Field Knife, to aid in retrieval from the sheath and grip retention in hand. The ends were tucked back under the knot work on one side to finish...

here are some of the knots and fancy plaits I've put on some of my past whips

[spyderguy]

also ...

thanks to Stormdrane, who always posts great pictures of his fantastic work. Definitely one of the major inspirations that got me to really pursue knot tying, braiding, and working with paracord!

hope we keep seeing your new posts for a LOOOOOONNNGG time to come

Sweet Jesus that's nice work!
Are you making whips out of Paracord?
Have a site?

I've gotten plenty of whips from Oz and NZ. This is interesting.

[Menace]

Those whips are awesome! Wish I knew how to do that

[Stormdrane]

A round crown sinnet paracord cross with a circle/ring(paracord covered split ring) added in for a Celtic cross look. You can tie the top loop longer/shorter for pendant, fob, lanyard use with a knife, flashlight, multitool, etc...

Wow there are a lot of post here.. wonder if someone could help me with how this lanyard is attached to the handle .. I can't figure it out.. maybe there is a knot diagram to show how to attach it..

[Spyderman99]

OK, I bought a few lanyards over the past year, very nice ones by some experienced "Knot Tyers". Got the idea to expand my horizons and try to do some myself. As you can see, I still need some improvement but it's a start. I find it satisfying to be able to make these for myself. I will by no means be selling any, just for my entertainment. How about the rest of you? Tried your hand at these things yet? If so, show us your handywork.

I love lanyards and para cord bracelets. What knot did you use that looks like a spiral?

[Spinerazor]

i haven't seen diagram or anything for this but its really simple, just start wrapping some paracord around and youll figure this out in about 2 minutes. really easy give it a try.
