Atwood paracord is the best stuff I've used. made in the good old USA and pretty affordable too!

Atwood rope company is local to me so always a good suggestion.

Personally I don't much care for lanyards even tho para-cord is a hobby of mine and I make lanyards all the time, the only knife I use a lanyard on is my ladybug, I use a aircraft cable tie (avaliable from country comm for $6) because I didnt like the feeling of a big knot on my key chain in my pocket.

Another option is to get some round leather lacing from a local hobby store. I usually look for 2mm or 3mm round lace. It is a little bit more difficult to tie than paracord because the leather is "grippy" and doesn't slide as easily over itself when you are knotting. But it makes a great looking lanyard!

Leather or paracord can be found at any local caping and king equipment store.
