Got Paracord?

I like the half hitching, it's really effective used like that

OK I see people making lanyards with paracord and heck I have been sent a Leatherman Supertool that has one of these on it. How do I make little carry handle lanyards for a multi tool if I want one?

Turnstone · **Reply #602 on:** June 22, 2010, 05:04:26 PM

I played around a little bit with paracord and this is what I made so far: a bracelet, a monkey fist, a plain lanyard and some kind of lanyard with karabiner and keyring.

That Monkey Fist looks good

I'd like to give it a go. How difficult was it to make on a scale of 1 -10?

Thanks! It wasn't really difficult, if 1 was easiest and 10 hardest I would give it a 3 or 4. You only need patience to make it look nice and to tighten the cord, and this is one out of 3 monkey fists I made and the only one that turned out really nice. The other ones are OK, but not that perfect like this one. Amazingly this one was the first one I made

Thanks buddy

No excuse not to try it then

I'll have to give it a go later this week

The 'Oblong knot' is a rectangular variation of the 'Chinese Cloverleaf knot'.

I pulled one paracord strand end back through the center of the tightened oblong knot, using hemotstats to create a loop on one end, and added a Spartan Helmet bead(my only Blade Show acquisition, besides three Diet Cokes). Finished by adding a cord lock and lanyard knot with the ends for wrist lanyard use...

Your paracord men look great

Any links on wrapping a knife handle like this?

I would just do some tight half hitches.

not sure if it will be any help

Sweet, thanks Ryan

I'll have to try the half hitches as well, thanks threeme2189

I have a few things to post here, bear with me please...

First a dog lead for my German friend (well for her dog, not for her!), after making it I found out the yellow should be Gold :rolleyes:, I hope she won't be upset that I got it wrong. For the first time I used a 3 core weave for the three colours, with a couple of diamond knots to finish each end.

A small bell rope thing, no use what so ever, but fun to make. I guess it could be used as a large keyfob?

Tan and purple go well together....

As you can see, you can get a lot done when you bugger your knee and have to rest it up for a few days!

Gareth · **Reply #617 on:** July 27, 2010, 12:15:50 AM

Nice stuff Essexman, I hope your knee gets better soon though.

nuphoria · **Reply #618 on:** July 27, 2010, 05:43:28 AM

Love that last one Stormdrane - really effective.

So who sells that rather groovy spartan bead?

nuphoria · **Reply #619 on:** July 27, 2010, 05:51:16 AM

Oh, I found it myself.... http://spartanbladesusa.com/cart/spartan-helmet-bead-p-67.html

They want to charge me $28 for shipping a couple of beads over - ha de ha

That looks fine! Don't worry about the yellow. About everything here regarding our national colors is yellow, we just call it gold

I continue to find so many cool mods, ideas and things to do on this forum. This is my first attempt at a lanyard-thingy using king cobra stitches
