Lanyard

All you have to do is pull that last step back out, where you slip the end through the loop and snug it up. Pull that out and the whole knot uncoils. I've been tying hangman's knots for years. :)

Another use for a lanyard:

A lot of people worry about guardless knives, like bushcrafters. Your hand can slip up onto the blade if you're not used to working with them. So tie a lanyard through the lanyard hole that's just long enough to loop around your hand when you grip the handle, and you cannot move up past there. Your hand can move back on the handle, but no farther up than the lanyard allows.

Ok, that's what I thought you were talking about. I've never really thought about doing that. Thanks for the tip! :D

What I ment to ask about was a lanyard to strap to your belt, so you won't lose the knive. Something like what you would put on a pistol so you won't lose it. From my experiance so far, I think the shealth would hold it in good enough. Any thoughts?

What you are looking for is a dummy cord. Your experience so far comes to a crashing halt the one time you lose a knife in deep woods or worse, over water.

It never hurts to tie that knife to the sheath or to your belt. An easy way to do that is to put a lanyard on it long enough to use as in the diagram, and after you sheath the knife, pull the lanyard around your belt a couple of times.
