Tying Lanyards

Adding a Lanyard to your pocket knife allows you to personalise it (perhaps with a custom bead), provides additional grip and can be used to pull it from your pocket.

Shown here are two Lanyards with a set of four snake knots, the bead, and then a diamond or ‘lanyard’ knot. (In these, the cord was 60cm long and it is just possible to tie this set of knots.)

Remember to add your bead, and then tie the ‘Diamond’ or ‘Lanyard’ knot.
