I have never put lanyards on my fixed blades, but am thinking of giving it a try. The guinnea pig is a Gerber Yari with a friction fit concealex sheath - yes, I know, a lanyard could pull the knife out. I may get another sheath for that reason.
I do wonder a little about safety, though. As a volunteer firefighter, I have always had lanyards on my flashlights for presumably the same reason: you don't want to drop the thing and then need it. It isn't a problem to have a dangling flashlight banging around from your wrist, but an unsheathed knife is a different story.
Aside from not stabbing yourselves to death, how do all of you implement your fixed blade lanyards? I have seen some obviously well thought-out lanyard setups, but I heven't a clue as to the finer points of their utility.
