I totally agree with those who don't feel entirely comfortable with a paracord tied around their neck. Here's what I did:...I don't know if I feel comfortable with it hanging from my neck on para cord. Not much of a rational reason for it, just creeps me out a bit. Bad memories of garroting chip munks in a previous life maybe.

Hope that helps.
If the chain breaks, then your lanyard gets progressively smaller, right? If it breaks too far from the "clasp", then you need to go buy a new one.I either gut the paracord and put a breakaway chain inside.
Or I use the snap clasps like they sell for nurse's ID tags.

i ended up wrapping my sheath, which makes it quite versatile as a belt loop system. i can slip a belt under that, either side, for vertical or horizontal carry in any of 4 orientation or some crazy canted angles if i want:

I've got to find out how you did this!

use the included cord, remove the cord guts, now you have a flat tape
make one end pointy by a tape "fid" - that is, just wrap some packing tape around one end, tight, in a slight cone, non fray point...
and figure it outstart with a basic X shape, then notice you have miles of cord left. then make some more crosses. eventually, it'll work out.
tip: put the cord through the top two, or botton two holes, both ends, and center. weave with both ends.
the picture says everthing
glad you like it
