The Official Lanyard Thread

Using the same type of knots, I did it a little differently for my PM2. Two knots, a space, two more, and a little tail. I like this a lot

 

[Mr.sig239]

That looks great! A bead would look good in the space also. If you recut the end of the strings and pull the inner strings out of the end a little and cut them off then let them recede back into the outer shell they will disappear.

Important to note. I’m not criticizing your work. Just wanted to help with info.

Very Patriotic right there

I just got this folder in as a thank you from Weasipoint and it is pretty nice Kizer folder called Vigor, very thin edged. So I tied a diamond knot and ended with three snake knots, I melted down the ends to prevent it from unraveling and it seems to work out pretty good so far, likin' it Thanks again Weasipoint !

New knot day. The grey/black head is a double cord fray knot. Also two Chinese button knots on the bottom. The other one I just like the color combo.

Mr.sig239 is right in that would look good with a bead in that space, Billy, but I have several beadless tails tied similarly to yours and like them quite a b it too. The empty space lets the fobs lie really slackly and with no bead the lanyard won't clank on your clip walking around. It also gives you another place to grab onto to pull the knife from pocket.

For my part, I bought a second Spartan Harsey Folder in plain stonewash on the Exchange to employ as a work user as my other SHF is really just too pretty to bang up on a job site, around the yard, or in our woods and fields up North. As it's a substantial piece, I figured it might make a good home for the giant TiCreatures bead I took off my Rainmaker. I went with two Wide Diamonds on 550 Licorice and left a long tail, though I'm thinking I might go all G2-style and bob it off.

I know @Kmikaz3 thinks this bead looks right on the Rainmaker and I agree except for its size, so I'm looking at the maker's other offerings for a smaller version with the same texture and color, though I kinda like what's presently on the Olamic (Post 742) too. First World problems, eh?

Hey, thank you! I learned something!

Never took it like negative criticism, sir!! I appreciate all feedback! You taught me something. I tried your suggestion, and it works very well, so thank you!

 

[Mr.sig239]

This one took a while. Two byte Turks head knot with a lanyard knot finish.

 

[Weasipoint]

A huge thanks to Gary W. Graley for helping me finally getting this bead on a Miller Bros where it belongs! Love how it turned out and the Spartan laynard he made as well, which has already found its way to my key ring. Thank you Gary for your help and making both of these great pieces for me. Happy New Years everyone!

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Glad to help out and that is one heck of a knife by the way ! here's a couple images I took after making the bobtail fob, I tied the whipping knot close to the first diamond knot so it allowed for some more freedom of the fob but still keeping it under control.

and the Spartan keychain, I saw a Spartan helmet on the blade and figured that was also a fit

Very nice Gary! That bead and color cord match that knife perfectly!

Interesting bead you have there sonofwilfred looks nice.

Working on a Valentines present for the wife. My own variation of someone else's posted pic. Also working on a big flower. I will post if anyone is interested. Don't want to pollute the thread without more lanyard stuff.
