The Official Lanyard Thread

On the blue Mel Pardue knife, your lanyard is attached to thr pocket clip. Just FYI, that's illegal in CA!
I'm not looking to start any California bashing but have you got any idea of why attaching a fob to the pocket clip would not be allowed there?

I have one knife without a fob hole but the knife benefits from a fob so it goes on the clip. It makes the knife cumbersome for me so I seldom carry it.

Yes, you can attach a lanyard to the pocket clip or lanyard hole of a knife in California to aid in drawing or securing it. However, the key legal requirement in California is that any folding knife that locks must be carried in a folded/closed position and cannot be considered a concealed "dirk or dagger".

This is what I found repeated, didn't see any official code on it.
