Knife Fumbler,
Can you tie that lanyard and make it look like the pictures? It's quite emabrrassing, but I can't do it. I even WATCHED a guy do it once, on a moving train. He made it LOOK easy, and I still can't do it. Hey, maybe we should switch screen names!

Check out www.chrisreeve.com for another explanation of how to tie the lanyard.

The lanyard knot isn't hard. Basically it's a hangmans noose with the tag end through the lanyard hole and doubled back before wrapping.

Hhm Maybe it is hard:^)

Owen,
The link won't work. Are you sure you copied it down right?

Will

 

[OwenM]

Yeah, it worked earlier. I actually went to the site and copied/pasted it.
Now www.chrisreeve.com isn't coming up for me at all. A link to the knot is under FAQs on the Reeve site (which is apparently down at the moment).
Hopefully it'll be back up soon.

Gents,

Knife Fumbler was asking "what kind of nylon string microtech uses for their stock lanyards? is it paracord? if anyone knows then i'd appreciate the info."

Not how to tie the lanyard.

Give them an e-mail, they are very helpful.

Go in the "front door"- - www.chrisreeve.com. Look around the site. The info is there. If you can't find it, post again and I'll track it down.

Owen,
The link started working last night and my wife figured out how how to tie the lanyard on my "UDT". The only thing is that the knot is about 1.5 in. from the loop that goes through the lanyard hole in the knife. I kind of like it that way. If the purpose of the lanyard is to have something to "grab" and pull the knife out of it's sheath, the knot being 1.5 in. from the knife gives me something to grab.
What do you think?
