There's the link to the discussion thread. I just got some paracord the other day and decided to make one. It was super easy.
Here's the full shot of it. I used around 5.5 ft. of black 550. That length will vary with your size.
Here's a shot of the connections to the after market Kydex sheath that I got from Shotgunner (this is one badass sheath by the way, highly recommended :thumbup
.
Here's a close up of the adjustment knot. It's just a simple overhand with the standing line tied into it. Instead of creating more bulk with a stopper knot I just burned and flattened the end.
The awesome thing about this design (no middle grommet making the large loop a figure "8") is that you can carry it in different ways. If you wanted to use it like the shoulder harness, you just adjust the knots almost all the way out, throw a twist in the big loop and put it on like a backpack. You can adjust more once its on. You can also use it like a sling over your shoulder so the knife hangs at your side. Just pull the knots in until you like the fit. Lastly you can still use it as a necker if you adjust the knots all the way in. I'm tall so mine is a bit longer than some of you probably like, but you can always just tie a knot to shorten it.
Let me know what you think.
