Just got in today's mail a Microtech Mini-Socom. This is a very impressive knife. Does anyone know why it was discontinued?

Also, I've read threads here about lanyard knots.I have a more basic question, which is what kind of cord makes for good lanyards? I don't have para cord and would like to use something I can find at a local hardware or crafts store.

Thanks for any thoughts.
 
Microtech doesnt keep any of their knives in producting for very long.It wasnt canceled cause it is a bad knife for sure.
 
Any tough synthetic line of the right size will do. Just bring your Socom to any DIY or hardware store and check out the spools of line. They have just about any color you could want. I did mine in a Reeve coil knot in red that my fiancee says makes it look like a pimp's knife...

The Reeve coil knot from Chris Reeve Knives website:
