What is the function of the short lanyards many put on their fixed blades? At first I thought perhaps it was for knife retention or to avoid dropping it. Yet, those lanyard/knive combos I have seen pictures of are too short to put a hand in for that purpose.
Secondly, if there is an actual functionality to it, how do you tie them with the multiple knots/wraps that are so common?
