I made a Reeve style lanyard for the clip on my Chaparral. It would probably be a bit neater with a thinner cord than this 550 (survivor) cord. Some 425 is on order.

I’ve definitely jumped on the lanyard band wagon. I like the look of the leather lanyards but more importantly I actually find them very useful for pulling the knife out of the pocket. I pretty much consider them a must on smaller knives now. Went and got some leather lacing from Tandy leather and been going lanyard crazy!

Been busy in the wood shop lately! Haven't been doing much string work. Saw something like this on Facebook and figured I'd give it a try.

 

[Mr.sig239]

Made a new one. Improved the cover knots and better colors!

 

[Mr.sig239]

Combined my love for wood turning with my love for string tying.
You can't see the two globe knots holding the string to the table.

Tried a new bead on this one, it's pretty nice

So Mysterious. Waiting for him to drop a rap line...

I never thought of that one as a rapper myself, more of just a mysterious person, maybe a secret super hero? either way I redid it with just a whipping knot at the top instead of a snake knot, making it fit better to the knife

For a few knives there isn't a place to attach a lanyard, like on this Spyderco Sun & Moon Chaparral folder, so I took one of my dye dauber metal handle and cut off a section and bent it to fit down into the clip slots and now I have a small hook to attach a lanyard to, worked out well I thought

Nice! Great idea!

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks sir! I thought it worked out pretty well. I redid the braided leather on this Case folder, made it a bit wider so it didn't slide around the bail as much.

Another poor attempt at a diamond knot. Can’t get these goddamn things even to save my life.

 

[Mr.sig239]

The trick is not to tighten them so tight. It distorts the knot. Practice just snug enough.
