How to tie the Sebenza lanyard thingy

[Uncle Bill]

Anybody want to post a pic or think they can describe it clearly using English?

I second Uncle Bill! How about the MT knot too! Two Left Hands Fish... Boy Scout, lame knot tier...

Have fun, and don't play hangman, OK? Walt

The "Scaffold Knot" is what I use, as the leads exit the knot together strait out the end for a cleaner look. http://www.fishingcairns.com.au/page6-1.html

James,
Can you expand on how to tie the scaffold knot that you prefer. I have not trouble tying the hangsman knot, but the diagram you indicate does not make it clear to me how to tie the scaffold knot. Thanks.

P.S. I got your email and will reply...if I can tear myself away from reading BladeForums.

Donald, here is a site with a good drawing of the scaffold knot http://www.fishingcairns.com.au/page6-1.html

It is a little trickier, as you have to sneak the lead line through the coil, and you will want to do about ten wraps in the coil in most cases. Hope it helps. Talk to you soon, no worries.

I wrote Anne Reeve a note when I untied my lanyard; she responded by faxing me the diagram they use in house at CRK to tie 'em. Very clear, very useful.

I'm going to see if I can find it on my hard drive somewhere so I can post it.

I believe the knot they use is the noose, is it not?
I do like the other knots I have seen though.
I like the idea of a different colored lanyard too.

I've used the scaffold knot, and it does look cleaner. I usually end up using the hangman's knot, especially if it is on something that I may untie and retie frequently. One trick for the scaffold knot is to find a piece of tubing or straw that is slightly larger than the line being used. Use the tubing to wrap the coils around and this makes getting the last end through the coil much easier. Then just remove the tubing and tighten up the knot. This is especially handy if you are using some line that is soft.
