Yeah it's a tough little bugger, I used the first part of your link Mike http://www.marinews.com/Sailors-Knife-Lanyard-Knot-784.php and after the Carrick bend I used stormdrains.

Very satisfying when it slid into shape

Must do a givaway sometime to you guys when I get some more practice in, as a thank you for getting me into knots

Knot a problem.

It is a rather satisfying knot to tie and yours looks good mate

AHB · **Reply #304 on:** October 22, 2009, 09:54:28 PM

Anyone got a pic/link for this knot.?
I bet it's real simple, but I don't wanna untie it to figure it out...

Haha! That's teh one that Peter Atwood uses - it took me a while to figure it out - but I did eventually. Wish I'd seen Stormdrane's link first though!

I have that on my Ladybug.

Made some more stuff........

This was a sort of accident that I turned into a little man;

Thanks to stormdrane and deano for getting me into this stuff

Gareth · **Reply #309 on:** November 09, 2009, 06:26:00 PM

Some cracking stuff there Paul.

DaveK · **Reply #310 on:** November 09, 2009, 07:23:33 PM

Great stuff Paul. Especially the little man - I'm going to have to do that now

Thanks for the encouragement chaps.
I don't like too much on the knife/multi tool as paracord gets in the way sometimes - but they are a must for my torches/flashlights, especially the ones that need a cigar hold like the nitecores and fenix's small uns'. The glow bits come in real handy for finding your light in the dark.

Question about paracord 550. How strong is the outside sheath once you've removed the innards? How much weight can it take before it tears?

Thanks!

That's one impressive do - and a ginger as well. He/she should put some trousers on though.

DaveK · **Reply #321 on:** November 10, 2009, 02:34:30 AM

It's a dress. He's a transvestite

Duh.

Ooh my eyes, colour clash Dave. Sort it out chap.

Will be expecting to see your army of well dressed little men soon

Paul · **Reply #325 on:** November 10, 2009, 10:57:29 PM

My little man wants to know if they can get it on together

Per this, it seems like it's at least 225lb.

I wonder if the weave is different if it's coreless. In other words, it's probably not hollow to give it structural integrity.

WELL, there's one way to find out! Weigh it down until it breaks.
