Hey Twin, found a pic for you, and for everybody else that don`t want to drill the hole in the blade

This is the 'pull-lanyard' that I use on some folders. It is akin to a Daisy chain, in that by undoing the last knot, the rest just pulls apart giving you a length of 550 for a bow drill string or whatever else you might use it for.

Hey Moose, where did you get the Spartan slide? I like the way you have that set up.

Ok, my lanyard technique for big blades doing small work.

The biggest concern when choking up on a large blade, is that now, you have almost all the weight of the blade, behind the heel of your hand, and you are holding on the blade, usually with just a couple of fingers. When dealing with say, slick fish, there is a challenge for safety. So, here's what I do.

Put your arm all the way through the lanyard, up to the elbow.

Now, you can grab the end of the blade, and the weight is supported. Along with the size of the lanyard and the thickness of your arm, your forearm and blade, move as one, giving your more control, better stability, and less fatigue on the fingers.

Should you need to release the blade, you can do so, freeing up both hands to say, grab the gills and pull the innards out, and run your thumb up and scrape out the crap tube. The knife will hang freely, out of your way and away from your body, and when you need to get the knife back, just point your hand at the ground, and grasp the blade.

I've used this method for a number of years, as, I love large knives. Making them work to your advantage, is paramount, and a lanyard gives you that ability.

Knife + Lanyard + Baton = Holy Trinity of Knifedom.

GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing that, Moose!

Pull lanyard that I just did tonight for my 0560.

Retention lanyards on my 2 and 9.

And 7

Good stuff, Moose.

I use a little pull lanyard on my saks

For my fixed blades, I don't like the lanyard flopping around while I'm carrying them. I prefer to carry a paracord loop separate, like in the sheath pocket, and just put it on the knife when needed.

Thanks Bob. I see that person used flat cordage, for less material removal i suspect. I will be giving this a try, to some degree, thanks.

Moosez45---also a great idea. It would be great to have both with you & use as needed.

one I did today, handle and lanyard all one strand, handle double wrapped. Roughly ~15'? between 12'-18'

Lanyard is basically a cobra knot with only one tag end. Makes a nice solid core with a spiral knot around it. And allows u to keep ur cordage all one piece JIC

I buy very knives these days without a lanyard hole. One reason Beckers are excellent. I para cord all my knives.:thumbup:

I really like that last post moose! Just what I've been looking for and simple! Yea, that's the ticket.

To find the accessories you are looking for, google paracord accessories. It should turn you out enough stuff to keep you in supplies for a while.

A manufacturing engineer once told me, "You know something is a great idea when the first thing that pops in your brain is, 'Why didn't I think of that?'"

I can see making semi-circular holes in the front of the Grivory (or at least the upper front) to get the exit point away from the web of the thumb and index finger.
What an easy mod! :thumbup:

I saw a guy making zipper pulls using para cord cobra stitch, and got the idea to make it a slip knot on my lanyards, rather than using a zip tie or a bead of some kind. It works well and stays put.

 

[Catmouth]

Some great ideas. Now who is going to have the master class on tying all these knots ?

I don't do lanyards all that often, but here's a couple I've played with. The one on the BK10 actually came from UCOPO that way and I kept it for a month or so. The others, I tied. I kind of like them on the BK14/11 for something extra to grip, but don't like to use them for retention. I might put together some pull lanyards, though, that actually looks functional to me.
