My wife just gave me a Microtech Socom. I'm not sure what the lanyard is for at the bottom of the knife.
I think it is a wrist lanyard.If so do you guys usually take it off or keep it on.

thanks

That's to choke you with if you don't thank her about a hundred times for buying you such a nice knife

I usually leave mine off unless I'm around the water and want to prevent losing it.

I'm pretty sure it's to help you find the handle if it's carried in your pocket, or to help pull it free when it's clipped...

I received my SOCOMs sans lanyard (second hand) and haven't replaced them yet. Many don't like 'em, say they get in the way.

Isn't it kinda small for a wrist lanyard? Maybe a fashion statement? "See the lanyard, I have a blade hiding in my pocket.."

Try it for a while attached - you can always remove it! Good luck!

It's to tie around your wrist so you don't lose it or drop it when using it. For the most part, unless you're doing something strenuous, I wouldn't worry

All the ansswers above are correct, but I think the first by DrLathe is the most important.

Well said Dr. Lathe.

I usually use mine to assist in pocket withdrawl. I've also changed mine to add a little spice to the Sebenza(not like it needs it)

Mine is long gone. And I strongly recommend you head Dr.Lathe's advice.

I think, as it is tied, it is actually a fob, i.e., just there to assist in pocket removal; but, I think the cord is long enough to be a lanyard if necessary.

No way the fob on My Socom would have made a lanyard......way too short.
Fobs are for adornment or to supply something to grab to draw the knife.
Lanyards are to attach the knife (or whatever) to the person to prevent loss.

EDIT : Oops.....neither of my SOCOMs came with a fob....I was thinking of my Sebenza.
Sorry if I mislead.

I took the one off my MUDT and used it as a shoelace. It's pretty cool, but my wife doesn't understand the logic that I need to buy another MUDT to get a match for the other shoe. The nerve of some people...
 
WOAH! There are too stupid questions! There are stupid questions, stupid answers, AND stupid people! This makes for the possibility of very stupid events! Someone's tagline on the forum is something along the lines of "There are limits to man's knowledge, but human stupidity knows no bounds".

Stupid question: "Can I go play with the bear cub?" Yes, I actually heard this question uttered from the mouth of a stupid rich kid whose mother invented gummibears or something like that. He absolutely could not understand that you get a big bear free just by playing with the little one! This was in Philmont (a Scout reservation in New Mexico, not to be confused with an Indian reservation, as Boy Scouts don't procreate and do business on the land).

The stupid answer: "No", followed by an explanation; we shudda let him play with the bearcub.
