Reason for Lanyards?

[RetiredGuns]

Lanyards are great for small knives like a G10 Dragonfly or some of the very small fixed blades I carry. I can use the lanyard as a handle extension and of course to pull it out.

The little Boker Gnome is a great example. It's a two finger knife, but add the right fob and you have a four finger knife. With its size it all just drops into your pocket.

I have 550 lanyards on a few of my knives. Some knives look great with a lanyard and some don't. The main reason I use them are for pocket retrieval and on smaller knives they can act as an extension to the handle.
