Nice selection of fobs zippo!
Here is a couple hours work for me today. Trying to get the double footrope knot to come out correct twice!!
Plus I got another bead. Hole is very small on this one. Had a hard time getting two cords thru. Made this for the F3NS.

Thanks, appreciate the praise. I like making them, but I do not make any money selling them, ha.

as one paracord artist to another, what is your way to bury the 2 color cord splice joint in the Diamond knot so the splice does not show on your first rope diamond knot.
 
I don't fuse many together. I prefer buying cord already multi color. When I do though I start with the splice joint down an inch or more on the left cord. After the initial loose tie up I adjust it into the knot and then tighten. On the ones with micro cord added for the loop I just bring the splice deep enough to hide or visible on the top.
I don't make money on mine either. I give as gifts or make for myself.

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

The one-sided lanyard attachment is something I noticed and picked up here from our friend Kmikaz3 Kmikaz3 . I really like it and only recently started doing it myself, such as on my new-to-me Tolk, pictured a few pages back. As you noted, Gary, it keeps the overall thickness down, and as our friend noted, it keeps the show side clean when installed on the reverse side as K noted as well as simplifying disassembly for knife maintenance. Over the years, I've found that leaving the lanyard installed while disassembling is not that big a deal, as one can still part the slabs sufficiently for cleaning and lube, though it's certainly much less awkward with the fob on only one. The other positive to this method is that a tail attached to the clip side only will flop nicely straight down and more unobtrusively at the pocket seam.

My favorite lanyard attachments have always been single, or single-sided, anyway, such as with those integral to backspacers, such as with Wilkins Grips...

...or on my F95 Shiro's, their location on the show side not really compromising the dangle of their tails.

Interesting. Was the connection hole factory installed?

The handle on that particular model was molded in one piece so there are no rivets on the butt end. A lanyard hole was enlarged to 1/4’ diameter. Since I did that modification, 3/16” diameter push pins have become available so future mods will utilize a smaller hole.
