Cobra or Snake knot?

[littlesamurai]

I'm getting a new skull lanyard (thanks to BellaBlades!!!) and I'm practicing my knots. Which one looks better? Which one do you use? I used my tenacious, but I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Sebenza 21. Should be here early next week, and I can't wait!!!

Let me know which one you prefer, or which one you use.

Cobra


Snake


Thanks!!

Snake!

Snake!

That's pretty good looking!! How do you make the Snake with two colors? Do you actually 'fuse' the two paracords?

I do it this way, makes it really solid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CmUnPuLdbE

I've never seen that before, but it looks like a solid link. I have to try it

Thanks

I prefer the snake's head knot for my lanyards. It's a lot easier than the cobra stitch to pull off.

No problem. I've done it several times now and before singing it I stand on one end and pull on the other and it won't pop loose.

Yep.


It's two pieces joined inside the lanyard hole

Cobra.
Do it with a single piece and pull it tight.
Let me see if I have an example.

I dig the snake knot.

I would do a snake knot, bead, followed by a diamond knot.

I've used this one before and been happy with it. I don't like how he does the diamond knot, though. I find if easier to tie a carrick bend first then bring the two ends over, around, then through.

I forgot to mention I tied it to a leather braided lanyard for you as well. So you can choose to use it after you take it apart. Just alternate holes when you put it back together.

The cobra was always a favorite of mine. I made a lot of keychain fobs with it, and even some short whips. But the snake is beautiful as a knife fob / lanyard.

That two tone snake is sweet!

By the way, cobra from Portuguese, and culebra in Spanish, come from the Latin that gives us colubrid, the largest group of modern snake species.

I much prefer the snake knot

I prefer cobra personally.

Ah, Russian joining. My mom used to knit and I saw her do this but I didn't know how to do it with paracord. Thanks for the vid!!!
