Buy some 550 cord from any retailer, local and online and make your own. Here's a link:Square Stitch. This is the basis of most of the lanyards I've seen.

Check out this posting. Kevin makes some nice stuff and is terrific to deal with. I have no affiliation - just have purchased from him.

Thanks. I've got the same for a lot of topics, which I've just about gotten into shape to post on my alternate blog, Patron of Edged Tools. Soon!

Lately I'm trying to find all the lanyard threads and putting them in Maintenance, Tinkering & Embellishment to have them all in one place.

Let’s see if we can find the right forum …

Very excellent listing of links, Esav!

I've ordered paracord from County Comm. They have a good selection and good, if not very good, prices. You might look around town for a military surplus store....I've never seen one without it (expensive - usually 50' will run $5.95 or more)

All my knives get the same lanyard knot - the hangman's noose, or Reeve's Coil Knot (SEE Esavs list). I'd kindly like to learn a braid or three, but I'm too happy with the coil knot to bother.

Here's what it looks like tied on:
