I watched a video on you tube on how to make a Chris reeves lanyard knot. It's a leather boot lace that I add mink oil to every so often. I hope this helps.

super sweet - I'll look for that.
I just recently bought a knife from a member and it came with a lanyard tied like that. I'm typically not a lanyard kind of guy, but on that particular knife it's great. Want to add them to a few of my other knives but wasn't sure what to look for. A few searches for "lanyard knots" mostly returns Diamond, Snake, Cobra, etc.. but couldn't find this exact one.
thanks again!

Thanks for the compliment Crowemag. Some folks like it bright copper, but...
My wife made a water mix of epson salts, miracle grow and ammonia when we were planting the garden this spring. It only took a couple days of work in the garden. I got seedlings out of the container slit the sides of the clump of roots with the coppersmith clip blade and scooped up some of the liquid she made and on down the row. the dirt and salt mix made for a mess eventually but I did notice the start of the patina. I liked the look. Some of it rubbed off when cleaning...so at the end of the second day added some on a napkin and wrapped it around the bolster and let it heat up in the sun. I have a bronze watch that I patina'd with sulfur of egg gel and added a tiny drop to the mix also. Since then just sweat patina and an occasional car wax coating.
here's pic after that...
TIM nice addition to the fixed arsenal and congrats on the GAW

Nice contours on that and the Cross is pretty cool, nice photo too

Swaybacksteve that Ka-Barlow looks great! I just might have to look into one of those. It is a shame they didn't use carbon steel. Two different materials developing patinas would have looked really cool.

Apologies for the "multiplex" image, taken for a different thread
It's the little guy in the middle, a Camillus Army Engineer's knife. (The others: Bridgeport hatchet and a Condor Kephart, both traditional enough, I guess, but not on board today.)

Yessir, it is. This one is a Mini D.H. Russell lockback which is about 4" closed. Very comfortable in hand...
