Meyerco Necklance knot work

The knife above is a Meyerco Knecklance neck knife that I edc on occasion. The necklance offers a nice aesthetic in a small package. The knot work is done in simple masonry sting, it starts off as a gaucho knot around the handle of the knife and then works it's way into a series of half hitches up to the lanyard hole. I then used some more half hitches around the lanyard hole and the red paracord is secured using a knute hitch which is an easy to tie and release knot for tool handles. The knute hitch helps to connect the knife to the lanyard so they don't get separated and the knot work on the handle helps improve the grip on the knife. 

Bungee Paracord Lanyard

To make this lanyard you need to start off with a length of shock cord. I believe the piece I used here was taken out of an old coat. First you need to stretch the shock cord out as much as possible. Then I started with a four strand plait around the shock cord. Always make sure to leave plenty of 
spare cord on the standing end to finish the lanyard off. Once you get to the end of the shock cord you will continue the plait past it and then double it back on itself and complete the eye splice and finished it with a 4x5 turks head knot. On the opposite end I attached the clip with a crown knot and then went into a four strand turks head. Once you are done the lanyard will act as sort of a bungee cord and the plait will bunch up as the shock cord contracts. I am not sure what you might use it for but it is an interesting project none the less.

The Ultimate Survival Bracelet

What more do you need to survive then a wristful of paracord and 19 9mm cartridges? 

Not much except maybe a well used Streamlight Stylus pro!

 

Knife Lanyard

This is a British Army Knife. The lanyard is Hunters Green 1.18 microcord from Atwood Rope MFG. A double chain sinnet makes up the body of the lanyard. The shackle end is finished with two 4x5 turksheads and the clip end is finished with a 4x21 turkshead.

                                                 

Neck Knife Lanyard and Turk's Head

This is a Meyerco Bottle Rocket neck knife  which I have had for a while and decided to spruce up a little. Using Hunters Green 1.18mm Micro Cord from Atwoods Rope MFG. I started off with a six strand plait long enough to comfortably go over my head. Next I tied Matthew Walker knots on each end. I covered the Matthew Walker knots with an extended Diamond Knot which is a very attractive covering. After this I made a three strand braid and passed it through the rivet in the Kydex sheath I then doubled the braid by following the original braid back through the rivet in the opposite direction with the opposing strands. I then used the ends to double the extended diamond knot. I find the Matthew walker knot covered with the extended diamond to be a really attractive knot for use in lanyards. I also tied a 2x11 Turks Head around part of the handle of the knife. I hope you enjoyed this post please leave a comment below.
