I like the colors and the shape. Goes good with that bead.

Just playing today. Mathew walker 4 strand with spiral knots to finish.

 

[Mr.sig239]

Tied a new one for tomorrows carry. Not sure if I like it yet.

I promised sonofwilfred some pics of the beads he kindly sent along, but have yet to tie up but one. I started with this beauty on my new Leader LW.



I chose plain black 550 for my two diamonds so as not to distract from the typically gorgeous Cheburkov CF and to let this handsome bead pop.

I still haven't gotten around to tying up two more of the beads I got from sonofwilfred that are earmarked for my Delica and Endura with their new Lynch clips. I'd already ordered and received MXG clips for my ZT0450 and 0452 pair along with beads from a maker I like over at the Artsy Craftsy site and tied those up a while ago. The Ti bead on the 52 is kinda big, but is a nice match with a couple diamonds on 550 Moonglow for a large knife...





...while the smaller bead looks nice on the 50 with a pair of Crown and Diamonds in 550 Vibrations.

Two new ones today made from scraps left over from another project.

 

[Mr.sig239]

Took the black bead one apart and made a new one along with a new green and brass.

 

[Mr.sig239]

Didn't like the visible threads showing so I took it apart and drilled it out bigger. Retied to look much better.

This one's been here before, but I had a spare pic of it as today's Thirty-one Thursday carry, so I thought I'd post it again as it's a favorite knife with one of a number of Jekyll to Hyde backspacers I've installed on CRKs and I really like the simple matching bead and easy snake knot tie-up with this 550 Inspirations cord--all favorites.

Where does everyone get their beads from? I was watching videos on making lanyards yesterday and got the itch to start!

Lots of them on Etsy.

Simple blacks and browns for a really natural look. Picked up a pretty well-matched natural micarta bead to tie it all together. Pun intended.

 

[Mr.sig239]

Love this color combo so I made another. No bead on this one.

My iMamba finally came through last week after a 3 month wait. I got around to tying up a tail for it yesterday, though I took the leather lanyard off it almost immediately after I got it. Nothing fancy here, just one of my several blue glass beads that have been on and off quite a few of my knives over a number of years, tied up in between a pair of snake knot triplets in 550 King Tut.
