Share your lanyards, fobs, paracord paraphernalia

[Norsman]

I have seen some great lanyards and fobs here and there on the site. I have yet to make or purchase any, but I'd like to see what everyone else has done and where you purchased them if possible... just for ideas. Thanks!

I have a few...but I made them. Its a lot cheaper to buy the paracord, and make your various lanyards, fobs, etc..... It also gives you more satisfaction. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of my own stuff.

But, I have made:
a king cobra "survival bracelet" (black)
a square sinnet weave fob that was attached to my SAK (black and orange)
a round sinnet weave key fob/keychain, that has a piece of ferrocerium inside of it (black and orange)
a couple of cobra weave key fobs/keychains (black and orange)

Nice! Do you know of any website or books that show how to make them? and where do you get the different color cord?

 

[stealthchaser13]

youtube has alot of videos...or just google "paracord projects". Also, check out e-how.com and instructables.com for instructions to make stuff.

you can buy different color cord from....
countycomm.com
gr8gear.com
ebay.com
amazon.com
and many other websites.

Just remember; google is your friend.

instructables.com, ehow.com, and hackaday or lifehacker or whaterver......those type of sites have step-by-step tutorials w/ pictures that make it easy. You can also check other sub-forums (embellishments?) for people's pictures to get ideas.

If you have a local Cabela's you can get some olive drab paracord. If you have a local army surplus/supply store, you can get some basic colors to get you started. I ordered a bunch of different colors online.

You can buy a 1000' roll for around $35 at cheaperthandirt.com I believe. Not alot of color selection, though.

Also, the quality will vary. Some have 7 cords that are all white thread-style cords. The 'GOOD' ones will have a metal filament as one of the cords and a couple others that are different than the standard cord. For a survival situation, I'd prefer to have the real quality stuff. For simple lanyards, it doesn't really matter.

I also tie bracelets, lanyards for folders as wells as wrist lanyards for fixed blades, key-chains and very unique monkey's fists.

All should be for sale fairly soon (if all works out) at my favorite local knife shop that also carries ESEE. :thumbup: They will be available online at that shop.

(The shop has all my prototypes so I can't post pictures right now, sorry.)

Hi Norsman -

I have a few lanyards and monkey-fists that were made by member DahlKen.

Here is a link to DahlKen's sales thread -
