The Official Lanyard Thread

Those are awesome. I need to find a small metal lathe!

Well add a lanyard to a ZT 462. Looks actually very nice even though you’re not supposed to put one . Super hated the Shaman lanyard hole, tried once and the lanyard snagged on the blade path.... Deep carries solved all those issues and look good!

couple of zipper pull fobs for my kit bag, using whip knot near the attaching point, a diamond knot, skull ring bead and three snake knots to round it out.

[Gary W. Graley]

Yea, i will settle with this one for now, didn't expect that bead to be ginormous but seems the perfect match for this one and kinda tired to redo this fob... wasting paracords

I think ginormous is the proper technical term for that one, Kmikaz3 . I like how you only used the hole on the clip side, though--neat trick. It lets you keep the fob and starting loop short but still flop neatly out of pocket. With a long lanyard that big Plague Doctor bead could pick up some momentum and do some serious damage to your leg.

Lately, i prefer smaller fobs, too long can get in the way like the lanyard on my Norseman. Imo, i like to preserve the show side and a small loop is much more neat and clean rather than a bigger loop going through both holes which is also intrusive to the show side, for the lack of better words. The fob/lanyard is also not in the way, should i disassemble my knife. That’s why i always use the clip side hole.

And as for that plague doctor bead, i suppose you may or may not know a way to shrink it, toss it the dryer and hope for shrinkage? Maybe?

I like them both! Great job!

For my knives I am liking the Diamond knot/Snake knot combination but on my key chains I still prefer the Diamond sandwich around the bead, just feels/looks better to me, here's my latest knife, arrived today

Also just got that colour paracord this weekend and I'm liking it a lot, must be the Navy side of me as it's more grey than green that they called it.

Another zipper pull, using thinner 325 3 stranded paracord and some neat small beads for accent, works fine on zipper pulls like this, will give that a try on my next folder, which may be a while from now.

Looks great Gary!
I like the smaller stuff lately also. A little harder to bend on some ties but fits into lanyard holes so much easier.

That's quite an eclectic set of carry there Chip

Here's a keychain I just finished up, includes two Infinity Knots below the two Diamond knots and Viking Rune bead sandwiched between the Diamonds.

I think I'll try one of those Infinity knots on a knife lanyard at some point, it's a neat knot, tricky to get just right
