Tight looking square stitch... looks real nice.!

Keep trying the snake stitch. 

Thanks

Looking good Ryan mate

Cheers! Like i say its quite relaxing when it finally clicks on how to do a knot, spent a couple of hours this afternoon sat watching Farscape and doing random knots!

Nope! But i'm getting good at this paracord malarky (i say good, better than i expected anyway!) Same knot just a slightly different way of doing it.

Another neck lanyard, 1/16" cord braided over 1/8" finished with snake stitch.

After playing with the great one Hawk sent me, I'm hunting around for some cord to give it a shot myself!

I know someone linked some tutorials earlier...I'll check further back in this thread for them.

Hi

One other tip for lanyard making is:

Loose knots make OK lanyards, tight knots make the best lanyards.!

Thanks

I still can't get on with lanyards on tools.  I tried one on my OHT then Calvin sent and I just couldn't get on with it.  It just got in the way.

I do use a lanyard for my keys though.  I have one that Deano made that I attach to my belt hook with a S-Biner and I carry that all the time now.

I'm the same way. For EDC lanyards just get in the way for me. But if I'm boating I will definitely use something to secure the tool to my person. I do love the look of some lanyards and it's always handy to have some Paracord around.

[hawkchucker]

for me I need them at times at work. During the off time we have to do plant Maint. and I am tired of going up and down the catwalk to get the tools that are dropped. Now company tools I really dont care about, but mine.... Well I like them in one piece. 

[Splat]

You know, now that I think about it, I've dropped my LM Core from atop an 8' ladder and of course I was in perfect position and all pieces were just right for securing together when it happened. Down the ladder, up the ladder, refit everything. Ugh! Yeah, maybe at the least I should use a lanyard with the Core.

Hey Roadie, what's that blade in your pic? Looks ssshaweet! 

[Roadie]

That would be my Becker (BK&T) Necker, no longer made unfortunately but it is a superb blade, Def used to have one, think he sold it to someone else on the forum though.

As for the lanyard on tools, i have the one in the pic with my Becker on my Climber to help with getting it out of my pocket and a simple loop one on my F1 to stop it going flying if i lose grip on it. On multitools i do find they get in the way a bit but they do come in handy at times.

It depends on the tool with me. I have one on one of my Juice models and if I ever get a Wenger Standard Issue I'll put one on there. But I tried one on my Spirit and it didn't work out. Of course the lanyard hole on the Spirit is in an awkward place anyway. 

[Benner]

Does anyone here put lanyards on flashlights as well?

Again I can't get on with that either.   Although if I was to use my Tec 40 up high etc I would probably attach the included lanyard then.  But not every day.
