Been sitting on this bead for the right blade, think it compliments the Cheburkov nicely

While I don't have any lanyards yet: I am curious...
Which size Paracord should fit the best?
550??

 

[Gary W. Graley]

550 is the easiest to procure as there are so many that produce it. I use 550 but lately I've been getting the Werewolves 700 lb version and like it for the added thickness which makes slightly larger knots.

I like the Bronze coloured one, just seems neater

Like what I used on this Giantmouse Dapper folder;

[Bob Denman]

Thanks for that info.

 

[Mr.sig239]

Spent way to much time on this experiment. What say you?

 

[Bob Denman]

How much cord did you start with?

 

[Mr.sig239]

24 inches of each small and 16 inches of the 550 cord.

 

[Bob Denman]

Thanks! It looks very intricate, and VERY attractive.

My taste has change compared to when I first started making lanyards. Now I find that simple, conservative, and compact do it for me.

It's nice to get crazy too every once in a while. Bigger lanyards tend to look better on bigger folders. But for this Para 3, short and sweet is the way to go.

 

[Mr.sig239]

I can't make up my mind on this bead and knife combo. Here is the latest creation. Also playing with brown today.
Waiting for a new bead to finish it off. Thru a couple old ones on there to try it out.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

A friend sent his knife up to get it sharpened a bit and to have a special lanyard made. This one has a large diamond knot near the handle, I used just one of the lanyard holes so the paracord didn't thicken the handle as much. And then a Viking rune bead with a loop of paracord that you can slip your hand into and then cinch up the loop using the bead by sliding it up to your wrist.

Used just one side of the lanyard hole to help keep the handle thickness down, so far I like it

Another bead from the same maker. Snake knots finished off with a diamond (I figured the diamond sort of resembles a marble)

Your colour palette inspired my latest, I used the brightest cord I had and a bead my brother made me.

Made a Halloween fob.

 

[Bob Denman]

After a first attempt that needed some expert coaching: the ManBug is finally sporting a worthy tail..Thanks Gary!

 

[Wvmntr]

A lanyard and slip for this knife made it so much better!

[Bob Denman]

I decided to dress up my Tops Mini-Scandi folder.
I think my knots are getting better; but I still need to clean up the final cutting and sealing...

 

[Bob Denman]

My OKC Rat 2 just got itself a new tail

 

[Mr.sig239]

Two new beads came in today. Will keep the red Christmas one for sure. Not sure on the brown..might take it apart and start over.
