Ha ha, thanks guys  :cheers:

I think with a few more practice runs I might actually have something acceptable. I will say though, boy it's a pain to try and move the bigger knots. On the end I think it's called a Turks head - hard to get it cinched up next to the other knots.

The fun of having a paracord is having the ability to DIY and make a true custom :cheers:

Yep, it looks like it might be a fun little side hobby and a neat way to customize my SAKs. Here's my first attempt, very rudimentary, a bunch of snake knots followed by a Turks head I think... I haven't finished the ends as I'm using this particular one for practice :)
Eventually I will put the beads I got on my favorite EDC SAKs,
That's an awesome work for a first timer... :like:

I think that's a diamond knot at the end... Paracords also come in thinner sizes I think... If you find 550 paracord is to thick, you can also gut it (remove the 7 inner strands)... although may not look good for certain knots... I also like those snake knots, diamond knots and ranger beads... :cheers:

Thanks jaya_man, I really appreciate the kind words guys.
Yeah, honestly I'm not sure what type of know it is on the end. I followed this video:

And around the 1:05 mark he mentions what he thinks it is. My hearing isn't so good either, ha ha but I think I hear something like floss turk head or some such thing.

On my EDC 111mm OH Trekker I have a short gutted paracord lanyard with a fire starter toggle on it similar to how some others on here have theirs set up.

Someday when I get the chance I'm going to come up with a easier yet compact way to have the lanyard/fire starter removable from the split ring.

The way I use it now the lanyard is used with the stopper knot to hold the fire starter to a stick for easier sparking, I've used it several times and really do like how handy those toggles are, esp for the price.

I think I'll buy a few of those toggles to play around with when I get a bit more experienced. I mean what the heck, adding some cordage and a fire starter to the edc seems like a great idea.

For most of my EDC' I just use small Zipper pulls from REI or off jackets I don't use any more. This one is off an old Mammut shell.  For bigger carries or when backpacking I will make a lanyard out of accessory cord or Paracord with some Snake, Diamond, or other decorative knots.  I used to hate the lanyard thing but I keep them short but with a big enough loop just to get a finger through.

Hey thanks for posting that video. It is the same one I used to make paracord lanyards for several of my SAKs years ago. I had forgotten how to even make that knot!

Not only that, you get that warm feeling of using something you did yourself. Lots of tutorials on youtube on how to tie different knots and make different types of lanyards.

Not only that, you get that warm feeling of using something you did yourself. Lots of tutorials on youtube on how to tie different knots and make different types of lanyards.

My knives and tools used to have lanyards I did myself using paracords. I just might go back to doing them. The Vic lanyard source I contacted said it's selling for $1 a piece  :-\

Go for it!
 :pok: :pok:

Just bought 2mts for €3. It will serve to make about half a dozen lanyards/fobs, with different sizes and styles.

I also found a tool from Tandy, to make leather strings out of leather squares. It's €17, don't know if I can/will use it enough to make it worth my while to buy it.



Just saw the prices at Tandy:
Elite Club Price: $8.45
Gold Club Price: $10.40
Your Price: $12.99

Wow, what a difference!
 :facepalm:

Yup. You can get an enormous length of leather thread from a fairly small piece of scrap leather. Must really think about getting one of these.

Just to other day I removed the lanyard from 2 SAKs.  I got to thinking, I have lanyards on my Swisschamp, Explorer and Manager as far as SAKs go.  The other SAKs are to me best suited without.  I do have lanyards on a few AAA lights.  They seem to be a nice addition.  I looked back on what I originally wrote and am more comfortable without a lanyard on most SAKs.

Nice! It's like a snake knot on steroids. That's the one I use. Will try this one.

Had a 1/4 little sockett dangle on a lanyard, remove it, insert screwdriver and you have a 1/4 driver- may scratch the knife though...
Just using SAK ones on the little ones and a P7 clip on the heavier Huntsman.

I use the loop through on many of my paracord lanyards and I've never had one work loose. The  advantage of the loop through is that it's easier to change onto a different knife or to change lanyard colors/braid design when so desired.

I think that way maybe looks a little better too? I bought 3 lanyards from Vic, 2 stay on nicely but one keeps wanting to work it's way loose. I really yanked on it in attempt to tighten or help it permanently form. Maybe a thicker paracord might help out there - the Victorinox lanyard isn't excessively thick.
Regardless, I'm thinking the paracord weaving might be a fun sidetrack. Now if I can only choose a color .... who knew so many, wow.
In my Really limited experience,  I found if you wet the cord  (water ) it should tighten up a bit...
