Thanks Dwayne, I enjoy making them and using them on my knives, just adds a little bit of customness if that's even a word, to the knife
Just added one to this knife, it doesn't have a lanyard hole...
Reason for the photos is to show that you can add a lanyard fob to the knife, even though it doesn't have a lanyard hole. There is an exposed pin at the end of the handle, in order to attach a lanyard to it you need to braid it VERY tightly around that pin. I folded the leather over and made slits into it close to the end of the fold so that it would be very tight when I went to braid it and it worked out well.
The skull bead is held in place by way of a wedge of rubberized cork, nestled between the two pieces of leather and then the skull is pulled down tight over that, it prevents the skull from sliding off. A much cleaner way of keeping it in place instead of tying a knot there.
Here are the photos, with the lanyard on, I can hook my pinky around the leather and catch the bead and draw the knife from the pocket, plus the skull is kinda cool, not into skulls really but they work well for this purpose.
Tight around that pin
