Aw, twern't nothin'...
That TacLite has (from the knife) a knife lanyard knot, a few sections of zig-zag braid, and a doubled knife lanyard knot. The k-l knot and the zigzag braid are animated on the fifty-knots section of my knotting site. The doubled knife lanyard knot just goes around a second time, an exercise left for the reader 
This bigsky:
has an anchor bend attaching to the hole, followed by a knife-lanyard knot, a hand loop formed by two three strand braids each tied in a single strand
, a doubled k-l knot, a two stand mathew-walker, and finally a single k-l.If you check my animations, you can do these easily enough. For you, Joe, I'll work out a special trade -- I'll tie lanyards in your knives, in trade for knives for me to tie lanyards in for myself!

COOL!
Sorry I don´t have pics, I have drilled the pommel in two of my fixed blade bucks to put lanyards on them and have a whole bunch of knives with fancy lanyards.
It´s nice to see others who like knives and tie knots, I usually just do Mathew Walkers to start and finish with a lanyard knot.
Crown sennits, diamond knots and starknots make nice lanyards (somewhat like miniature bellropes). must be done with fine cord or they are much too big. I don´t like using a starknot at the end since I feel it tends to get loose with time, a starknot followed by a tack knot works fine, to get more fancy use a little lump.
In fixed blades with no lanyard hole I can tie a tight turkshead, pull the ends out and do the lanyard with them.
Happy new year to all.
