How timely.

Thanks sir, it's a fairly heavy cord and well made too so it's a little harder to tie but you end up with some solid knots.

Thanks Gary, That is a superb lanyard knot. It only took me eight shots to get it right but it'll be on all my lanyards from now on.

This wide diamond knot is still very tricky for me to make. But it provides a very good size knot to hook your finger around

That's pretty quick study getting that knot made in such a few attempts, keep up the good work!

Thanks to one of our members who gifted me with 10 beads! (I won't mention his name unless I receive permission) Thanks again!
Here is the first one of the fobs I have made with more to come as inspiration hits!

That looks nice! What size cords do you use? 550 and 275?

 

[Mr.sig239]

550 and 1/8 inch.

 

[Mr.sig239]

Quick little gift I made from a coin given to me.

 

[Mr.sig239]

On the road to never satisfied. Tied this one to see if it would help pull the blue out of the fiber.

I made a pink lanyard for my Civilian once just for fun, took it off. Only lanyards I keeps now, are the red leather one across my red Douk-Douk for retrieval out of it's case, and one my fiance put on my Dragonfly, the little kitty cat that claps when you put a coin in at the Asian shops, you know that cat? That.

Are your lanyards largely useful, or just for style, like a custom backspacer? Nothing wrong with style, and I am of course aware one could use the lanyard to pull the knife out of a deep pocket or backpack. Any other practical purposes?

 

[Mr.sig239]

I use mine to help with pocket removal. They also help with shorter knives to give a little more grip area. Doesn’t hurt that they look good also!

 

[Mr.sig239]

An actual lanyard to hold this beast!

Made this today. Putting it on my truck key so I will always have at least a dollar with me.

Nothing special here--just a new tail after cleaning and reassembling the Turtle as the King Tut that's been on there for years was dirty and tattered. Same bead here with one extra snake knot in the bright new 550 Vibrations.



I had my all-Wilkins Grip out to trim the cord when the Shiro lanyard was done and replaced its tail too as I'd used repurposed cord on that one and had always felt it was too stubby.



Yeah, that's better....

 

[Mr.sig239]

Updated the fob with an improved tie up! Matches the 110 pretty good.

Nothing new this time, just a close-up look at a bunch of old favorites--knife (RDD), lanyard attachment (built into the butt spacer), cord (550 Licorice), and bead (Zoe Crist Damascus).

Had this in for a slip sheath and he asked for a red lanyard to also be put on, the hole location wasn't something I thought would work well, but it turned out to be just fine. I tied the whipping knot, also in red, so that the lanyard can't slip over the end of the knife and into the path of the blade when closing, but hangs free while clipped in the pocket.

here's the slip sheath made for it, it will help keep dust bunnies out as well as preventing it getting scratched up while in his pocket. Leather is soft milled veggie tan leather dyed a saddle tan with a celtic embossing into the leather.

Very nice Gary.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks, I promote the use of the whipping knot as it keeps the cord near the lanyard hole thinner to allow your finger to hook around it better and keeps the lanyard under control.
