I got jealousy of everyone's knife fobs, so I ordered some paracord and tied my own! The

I like to finish my crown knots with a Matthew Walker knot and let the ends hang a bit. I've found I love tying lanyards, but hate having them on my knives :)

Stormdrane has a lot of info on knots and lanyards and cord wrapping of various sorts. As does TIAT - Tying It All Together. I own his Decorative Fusion Knots book. If you are easily offended you may not want to search for the TIAT stuff except on YouTube as he also has books and things under Knotty Boys that use ropes in more.. creative.. ways.

Lol, I am going to check out his videos soon! I finished this one with a square /crown combo. I was originally going to do a man knot, but I kept screwing up the end part and I realized I was wasting too much time. I have to tie it directly to the knife to make it work because I used 550 cord and didn't want to remove the core.

Well it's called a "crown sinnet".....try not to get intimidated by the first knot, once that one is done its really easy!

Here's a good tutorial.

Thanks for the link.
 
Huh, it's definitely easier to start the knot when you aren't tying straight to the knife lol. TIAT finished his fob with a different knot than I used too...

If you can find a bead you like to use as a stopper of sorts between the knife and lanyard, it will make it very easy to tie.
