The Official Lanyard Thread

That's the current one, all hand made
 
I haven't been over here for a while and it's been kinda quiet here too, so I figured I must have something or other I've tied up since my last post. I haven't bought anything since June, so that doesn't contribute to new lanyards either.

Here's one I missed posting--my Shirogorov F95R that I sold my drawer-queen Tabargan to free up funds for. The beads are little Ti figure-8s that I had for a while and hadn't used. I interspersed them with Snake Knots for a different sort of look.

This is my only try at a lanyard on my S&W Sailor type knife. Just put the cord through, put a skull bead on. Heated the paracord under the skull bead, then whipped with thread right after the loop. Would like to try some fancy knots with paracord...but I seem to have two handfuls of thumbs! LOL!
 
No pictures but I just tie or braid a short piece of orange flagging tape to the lanyard holes of the knives that I frequently carry with me in the bush. I have to replace the tape every so often but I have yet to find something as hi-vis. It also doesn't get in the way of my pocket or hand.
 
I love a simple slip knot that I can use to either pull from pocket and/or tie around my wrist for safety.

This WE 801 ties up nicely with the lanyard hold below the scale lines

and the Viking Rune bead between the diamond knots, the knots help to keep the bead from bumping into the handle and the whipping knot near the knife helps to keep the whole thing under control, doesn't flop around.

How many different lanyards am I going to tie on this knife? I figured out that I've been tying my Extended Crown and Diamond Knots improperly recently. I had two different wrong versions on two or three knives, one of which kinda looked ok, but the last one on this Cheburkov Scout really bugged me. I went back to Youtube, got technique down again on a couple practice pieces, and figured I'd get this one right as both this knife and Inspiribomb's Ultem bead are so sweet.

The side-story here is that it's become harder and harder for me to move around as my hip condition degenerates (surgery tomorrow, yay!), so even though I wanted to get another piece of that silver and black cord for the "right" lanyard, it was in the other room. I had a big hank of this black 550 right next to me and it is nice, slack cord, so that's what's on this one now. Maybe when I'm back home and further along in my re-hab I'll tie up the silver and black and we can have even more pics of this knife on the Official Lanyard Thread. :rolleyes:

Looks great. Good luck with the hip brother.
