I have been making landyards non-stop for about a month now and just made some pretty cool ones today that i thought u guys might like. They're american flag colored lanyards with the good ol' Red white and blue in all 3 of them with a different order of colors in each one. Pics arent that great but im new to digi-cam stuff and used my friends.









And here's a bunch of others that i've made.

 
nice but i did'nt see any "blade" on it, may-be you should have post it on anothere forum from this site. :confused:
 
He a link with a lot of different stitches that are good for changing up the usual box and round stitch.

Freddy1 : Oh trust me...their would be many knives attached to them if I wasnt at college and didn' only have my SOG twitch, which will not fit any of these lanyards. But when i get home their's going to be no knife unlanyarded shall we say!
 
Where are you picking up all the cool colored cords at? Nice work. I like that kind of macreme weave. I like the hangmans noose ones too though. You should do some of both.

Good idea on the red white and blue.
 
I have made a couple of hangmans and one is on my key chain right now, but i prefer the round type of weave. Here is where i get my cord from and they have a very good selection of colors along with good prices

Go to "shop now all products" and search for paracord.

Is this some kind of competition ?

Here's a model that I often make, it starts with a loop made by a 4 strand braid, folded makes 8 strands, then Mathew Walker knot, Star knot, Rosebud knot, 8 strand crown sennit and Little Lump knot.

thats a pretty cool model you got there Luis, no its not a competition lol me and Lurp aka John have been good friends for a few years now im just bustin his chops :D :D
 
Dniice87 aka D-rock aka Derek has be a "friend" of mine for a couple years now...j/k :D . He can't compete with mine so he just likes to make fun of them :p . Haha.
I tried the monkey's fist a while ago but i couldnt get it ...whenever i started to pull the knot tighter things just went haywire and the knot got all messed up...any suggestions to keep the different parts of the paracord all tightening at the same rate!? Thanks.
 
yea ive tried it too, its pretty hard, i ended up getting it once after a bunch of tries but it didnt come out looking good i think because i pulled the inner threads out of the paracord so the cord was flat and thin.
 
I successfully tied a monkey's fist on the first try. The real problem is tightening it.

What I did was develop a time-consuming system to do it. I started at one end and I'd simply pull one strand of cord and observe where it was going, then pull that area tight and tug again to observe. It took a long time but I had it on the first try.

Go to "shop now all products" and search for paracord.
Click to expand...

Do they have online ordering or is it another call em and give em a cc number over the phone operation?
 
No, you can order from them online without calling them. After you search for paracord go to the "product" you want such as 50' , 100' etc...And hit the "select options" button. Then choose your color and click "add to cart". This is one of the only online ordering sites i've been able to find with reasonable prices.
 
Here's a couple of my monkey fists, a little skill, enough patience, and appropriate tools help, a marlin spike is very useful, third picture shows a few fobs and marlin spikes.
