I'm not personally a fan of lanyards hanging off my blades. Its too easy for me to have it snagged out of my pocket by a branch in the woods or worse a pick pocket in a crowd.
So with each one I get, I remove the lanyard, but replace the pin again. But first sticking a small piece of the lanyard paracord back in the hole and melting the ends with a lighter, so the pin can't drop out.
I like the look of the pin rather than leaving yet another hole in my handles. Replacing the pin makes the knife look more attractive especially when the pin is anodized in a matching color to the thumbstud.
I did come across a blue anodized lanyard pin with shoulders on a small PJ that I resold.
I'm guessing it was an aftermarket item, because that was the only one I've seen after having 6 Seb 21's pass through my hands.
Don't know if this has been discussed already? A search did not turn up anything for me as to why CRK doesn't offer shoulders on their lanyard pins. Each of my models already has a spacer, so a pin with shoulders would just have to be a tad smaller than the spacer for lockdown of that rear screw going through the spacer.
OEM pins with shoulders, so the pin can't fall out . . . This to me would be a better solution than buying an expensive knives only to have to look at a piece of melted paracord between the handles of each one I own.
Just a thought
