Show us your lanyards!

eschmunk; that is really great work; that lump knot is really classy. I will have to take a look at one too...know the pineapple knot is a lot like that and both look pretty complicated. Great work!

Black paracord, gutted, in a loop/lanyard knot with light green 1mm cotton cord in a cobra stitch.

Here's a few I've done recently (thanks to Stormdrane's tutorials). I've been using some multicolored "accessory" cord from Sterling and Mammut. Adds a little "pizazz".

Latest lanyard. Being that this is not a knife lanyard please let me know if I should remove it from the thread. I am posting more because of all the paracord goodies in the thread.

Guys, where do you get these cool skulls? No place to buy them in central Europe and shipping from US is more expensive than skulls themselves! :mad:

[Fred Sanford]

These are some absolutely amazing lanyards. I really need to get one or make one for my Native III that I have en-route. You guys really make some nice ones.

I've only read about 3-4 pages of this 83 page thread. I don't want to ask any questions until I'm done reading.

Here's a couple I took a shot at tying myself. I really like the multicolored accessory cord as it adds a little "schwing" to them.

How do you get the lanyards through the lanyard hole if the lanyard is already finished and the top (where it attaches at the knife) is just a loop?

I've tried folding it and pushing it through (a Native III) but it just doesn't seem to want to go.

By the way I'll post some pics of a few lanyards that datan made me. Thanks Dan! :) I love the lanyards but I don't want to cut them to get them on the knife.

Short braided loop made on a two-peg knitting spool, ends put thru the Salt's lanyard hole, and finished with a couple of snake knots.

Some 1mm black cotton cord added to the monkey's fist.



I know, the pocket clip looks bad. I got aggravated with the worn and chipped black coating, so Mr. Dremel and I went and got all angry on it.

[anthonyc]

nice monkey fist!!

Storm I really like the one with the ring on it! thats AWSEOME!

These are both 4-strand braids with different ways to finish them.

On the flax I just took the 4 strands of each end, twisted them into a rope and spliced the ends together. [edit] it was only two strands each side, which is somehow logical taking into consideration I had 4 to begin with. If you split those, well you got 2 each. So I had to cheat and add another strand first.[/edit]

I leave the other one up to you to figure out how I made it

It was time for a new Knife my old one was almost confiscated by a detail cop
(borderline switch blade) the cops in Boston are so picky. so I went looking looked at Spyderco and found you guys. I haven't tied knots like this in ten years I went with the cara cara black. the lanyard is a doubled lanyard knot followed by a Mathew walker knot and round crown finished with a man rope knot. I might have to change this though I need a wrist loop for safety.
I forgot how much fun knot tying was will post soon

[Ookami]

Welcome to the forums and congratulations on your great first post - well done!

I especially like the variety of knots you used on your lanyard.

And here is my question: How do you tie the man rope knot with the ends coming out that way?

...

Alright, I found the solution all by myself while searching for a picture of the man rope knot. I think you just used the wrong name. You did a double Mathew Walker knot, or so I guess.

Anyway, tell us which one you used Jester and if it's not one of the two - well here's your chance to do a little tutorial
