I picked up some 1" split ring key rings and thought I'd make some of these up, they measure about 9" of the paracord end to end, not including the split ring.

They make it easier to get out of your pocket/coat/purse and also handy to hang up if you are inclined to do that, plus they look spiffy with the Celtic bead between the two tightly made diamond knots.

Price shipped in the USA is $8 each plus $3 shipping, the hard part is I don't have paypal so this may just be a short endeavour on my part, but they are nice, payment by check.
If you order more than one it would be just the $3 shipping for them.

Here are a few images, the paracord is top notch stuff, very well made. I just have two colours right now, my main paracord is the green/black/brown but I made a few up in white and they look pretty classy, probably not for guys as they would show dirt easily but for the ladies or 'gents' they might do well.

The paracord at the split ring side has some white waxed cord that I made a whipping knot to help keep it snug to the ring

Thanks guys, they're great for flipping around your hand too.

Looks like this thread should have been put in the Vendor section? Thanks to the great Moderators, appreciate the move :)

I did sell six so far ;)

Right now just the three colours of paracord, and running out of the white, as I had a question on other colours. If there is a demand for different colours I can always order some, but right now just those.

Green/black/brown, Black, and a bit of White left. This is the really good stuff paracord with 8 internal strands, nice ;)

Bringing some to the Lewisburg PA knife show today so if any of you guys/gals decide to show up there, you can check these out first hand.

Gary-do you sell your "iwb" loops, and if so how much do they run? Fell free to pm if you would prefer.
Thanks, Neal70
 
I had a person ask about those a while back, at the time I didn't have something to make a template for but I recently got back a knife and sheath that has that on there and can offer those too.

The IWB adapter loops would just be the leather strap, and a button snap, it would NOT include any hardware to attach it to the sheath, so you would need to have some of that on hand in order to attach it to the sheath. If there is more requests for that, a lot more ;), then I would look to getting the hardware to be able to supply it along with the loop. But for now it would just be the strap and snap with the hole set to allow hardware to pass through and fasten to the kydex sheath.

For those not aware of what neal70 is asking about, here is a shot of the adapter installed and the sheath being worn, as you draw the knife, the adapter strap would be stopped by the bottom edge of your belt and then the knife can clear the sheath.

The loop is about 2 3/4" long so it should accommodate most all belts.

The hardware where the adapter attaches would not be included.

Price on these would be $15 shipped in the USA, made on a order by order basis, as with the key chain fobs, I would need a check as I don't have paypal.

Those interested in the adapters can PM me here or email me at

Edited to say we were typing at the same time, your PM is replied, Arick thanks sir.

Sorry folks had to increase both the key chain fobs as well as the adapter
Mailed out a key chain fob and the postal charge was over $2.60, I had thought it would be closer to a dollar.

Gary,I have that same cost on shipping my stuff. If you can keep the package under 1/2in thick the price is much lower. Hard to believe how much it has gone up in the last couple years.
 
Yep, it's definitely jumped a lot, I bought some small padded envelopes from Walmart that seem nice and secure, but the diamond knots I make are above that 1/2" height.

If someone wants more than one of the key chain fobs, I edited the price to show the fobs are $8 and shipping $3, if you order say up to 5, you would just pay the one $3 shipping charge for the bunch.

and if someone wants a different colour, let me know, but right now I mainly have the green/black/brown, and black to pick from, only a few feet of white left.

Thanks

Just rec'd 3 from Gary. Very well made. Fast shipping and great communication.
I'll be ordering more.
They look even better in person and very Cool on your key ring!!!!
Thanks
Rob
 
Thanks Rob, of course I'm biased towards these ;) but I also like using them and have them on separate keys for quick usage, like the key to my wife's car hangs in our kitchen cabinet for when I need to use her car, no need to carry on my own key chain. And the key to our shed out back also hangs in there as well on one of these fobs.

Had a small skull left from previous lanyards, before I settled on the Celtic bead, this one also I did the whip knot in black thread as well.

Price on this is $11 dollars shipped, it's the only one that I have so this be it you Pirate kind of guys/gals :)

Skull bead lanyard still available, only one I have so that be it for that one.

also, if someone has a special bead that they would like to be put into one of these key chain fobs, I'd be happy to do that as well.

I got mine from Gary and had been using it daily on my wad of keys until my remotes died for my car now it's super handy until I can replace them. I always can fish it out of my pockets no matter what I'm wearing. Gary makes a high quality product with old school workmanship I will be getting more as gifts and for myself as I've already not lost these keys three times already.
