Hell bent for leather

kidcongo · Mar 18, 2016

Still loving my leather lanyards. Slowly they are taking over the collection. I thought I'd share a couple pics of how they wear in. They take on a very nice dark shine, almost a burgundy colour, after a few months on use. The one on my jigged-benza is brand new, the other have all seen some carry.

Like KC above, I obviously like leather...

wish there was someway to put a leather lanyard on a Mnandi though...

Very nice Ice Man. I notice you cut the tails off. That's an interesting difference. Are they still standard CRK noose-knots?

Am I the only one that hates lanyards? I leave them on the knives in my display case but for EDC I cant stand them

I used to hate them too, but somewhere along the line I changed my mind. I have found that they help when drawing the knife, and on the small sizes they can extend your grip. They also ad a little bit of "warmth" to the CRK products, which for the most part are pretty cold looking, if you know what i mean.

I cut them off because they fray in the long run and it looks cleaner to me...

Yes, tied it the same way as CRK does...

Not everyone is into lanyards. But I know that CRK didn't put them there without any function.

Great looking lanyards. The leather adds a nice touch.

Those annuals are stunning. The 1999 is beautiful. The leather compliments them well.

The size I spec 'd does fit through the hole as others pointed out to me. You just gotta cut a long angle in it to get it started, then it pulls through easy.

I don't have a fancy knot tied but I like leather as well.

OK I'm inspired. I'll be getting my hands on some leather later.

If all the cool kids are doing it, I'm in

My lanyard, so I can put it around my pinky for safety when cutting with more force. Nice when your hands are wet. The knot is a Matthew Walker knot, easy to learn and very nice in form and function. It has a cross on both sides of the knot. Use my lanyard with a safety sling from my old TomTom Ryder. Looped to my jeans and can also be used as a safety loop around the wrist. Two weeks since I got the Sebenza new. My second CRK.

My first, large LH regular.
