lanyard/fob

[Bob_Atl]

Thanks Brad. Yes it is..
Most of the above are not quick deploy (QD).
The QD feature has to be designed in from the start.
But once you've completed a non-QD, it gives you an idea on how to unravel that one, at least which end to start with.

Great work! I love the looks of the blue cord.

 

[Bob_Atl]

Thanks MT, also like blue with black, like in the fishtail wrist band and FOBs.

and found these scissors that cut paracord very clean : good scissors

Here's a short one, 20" cord in snake knots:

My gun club buddy wanted this lanyard on his new Kershaw 1660,
a slick/solid Ken Onion frame lock design, spring assist:

note the clever blade tip lock (lower left) to ensure the blade stays tucked away when riding in a pocket.

Great stuff Bob!!

this has 30" blue and 36" black, crown sinnet with diamond knot on end. Its a Kershaw Link, made in USA.
this spring assist folder feels real good in the hand, solid and balanced.

here's the pair, one for the g-kid & one for me.

Here's 38" cord of (left to right) lanyard knot, snake knots(7) and a double Walker knot (new to me):

...close up of the double Walker:

Here's an inexpensive liner lock plus can opener tool with three lanyard/fobs, each ending with a 4 strand Walker knot.
Got the knife from: S&W knife 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade

the walker is sometimes frustrating to finish off, I found this link to Walker knot helpful.

rest is TMI, unless you're interested in this kind of stuff:
-------------------------------------------------------
Here's what the end of a 4 strand walker knot looks like compared to a diamond/wall/footrope knot just below:
can see how the 4 walker strands are spread near the circumference while the other 4 are tightly centered.

and that's on the end of this GT keyring fob:

Update:
My gun club buddy's Kershaw 1660 knife tip was catching on the "Y" opening just before the snake knot start.
So replaced it with this thicker crown sinnet finished with 4 strand Walker, plus matching keyring fob.

My son wanted a lanyard like on this : Microteck w/lanyard

So this is what I made for him.
It is a quick deploy type, so it comes apart easily.
It looks bigger than the one above, I think they use smaller dia cord.

20" cord into this little decorative medium Mandala plus 3 snake knots :
Mandala knot

Went to a knife show of local makers & few vendors this weekend.
Picked up the top one, Kershaw Blur in camo, so have a pair now.
Lanyards are 26" cord, seven snake knots with lanyard knot on ends.

 

[Tim Neitzke]

Good looking stuff, Bob !

I have a Leek and Blur , they get worked pretty hard.

As always thanks for posting .

 

[Bob_Atl]

Tks Tim.
Here's a new weave for me, flat snake braid terminated by a wall/footrope.
This flat braid would make a nice bracelet for a young'n, snake braid link
The knife and 2-aaa led light are a nice inexpensive combo.
Make a nice $20 gift, link : Browning Bush craft combo (sorry, sold out 2/8/20)

Two feet black cord and one foot of orange went into this one.

closer look at the flat braid:

This one was requested by my 2020 UT grad, grandson for his US Kershaw.
lanyard is 10 snake knots - seems to be a favorite -

 

[Bob_Atl]

My other grandson wanted the "exact" style and color of these :
(Dad's truck keys and EDC knife will have to come later!)

 

[Bob_Atl]

Oldest grandson added this to his collection, he has more than me, good kid!!

Seven snake knots in this one - per his request..

 

[Bob_Atl]

My new EDC a US Kershaw Leek partially serated, 12 snakes knots finished with a lanyard knot.
Yes, my EDC has a key and light, just in case.. always with me..
