As dumb as lanyards are and how I bashed them earlier... I was rooting through my toolbox for some electrical connectors and I found something that I hate to admit would make a perfect lanyard. Something my sister made 15+ years ago, gold-skull bead and all.

I will rope it onto my Zaan when the scales come back from cerakote and we will see if I can keep it on for more than a day.

To further my point earlier... please note that it was made by a girl ;)

Please post a update in this thread and let me know. I bet 20 bucks you won't even make it the full day! :D
 
Generally, I do not use a lanyard. The only exception is kayaking, where I feel better having a lanyard on a folder to prevent losing the knife.

Otherwise, I feel like it just gets in my way.

Even then it’s not like your taking a Hinderer or CRK on the river with you, am I right? Just feels like a “fashion statement” to me when it’s on something like that.

I don't see it as a "fashion statement". I think it goes more towards pride of ownership.
What's so wrong with making your nice things look nicer? For me, my knives are the nicest things I have!:)

No problem with that. Just my option my friend. I buy a knife as a tool and as something I intend to use. Some get used “harder” than others but I’m not trying to bedazzle my knives and make them all flashy.

I must admit though..I’m having custom wood scales made for my GB2 just because Spyderco are cheap a$$es and their “carbon fiber” scales blowwwwww

View attachment 777546 To me a lanyard is a loss prevention thing. When I am using the knife, I want the lanyard out of the way. Hence the quick release push pin lanyard.

Wait so the pin for example: on the CRK goes into the "lanyard" spot and when you go to use the knife.. you just pop it out huh? Seems like a lot of work but I imagine it works well for the intended purpose. Thanks for the pic man!
 
I agree with the OP that I typically don't bring expensive things that sink when I'm canoeing/kayaking. That's partly why I choose knives that typically cost less than $100. I've lost knives before.
 
I made this lanyard yesterday, just because of this thread.

A buddy gave me a skull bead for some reason, and I had an extra Harley Quinn head, so I made this:

Now my hand won't slip while battling the zombie hordes, or whatever other reason I might possibly need a lanyard on a folder for. :D

Exactly! When will people learn the correct terminology for parts of their knives?!?

Forget it. I'm about ready to start using lower end layman's terms for this stuff. Ya got a loop type of thing for putting the knife around your wrist or you've got a knotted up piece of military cord with a blinged up skull on it. Those are your tactical knife attachment options. :thumbsup:

You gonna use those for all knife terms? Start calling choils "round blade cut thingies" and locks "blade holder openers"? :D

Well, mine goes around the wrist and has a skull on it.
And a Harley Quinn head, naturally.

So there. :p

I can’t wait to put a fobyard on the tail butt of my knife for secure access when I engage my cutting tool of choice! :cool:

Makes perfect sense.
 
Occasional fob-with-clip user here. I've never liked the feeling of a knife loose in the bottom of my pocket.

It keeps me from carrying most of my traditionals unless they fit comfortably in my jeans change pocket.

Or the ruler pocket...
