Simple paracord lanyards

[JEEP]

First paracord project; simple lanyards for my Victorinox Huntsman (my edc.) and Outrider:

Working with paracord is good fun and very rewarding imho.

From those splendid examples perhaps we need a section on "Knots and how to tie them" - nice work :)

[JEEP]

Thanks :)

The truth is, though, that even though I am a scout leader, I really suck at tying knots (most of my scouts know more knots than I do). The cobra knot is one of the few I know really :ashamed:

Same here with the knots. I have to practice them the night before I teach the scouts :D Its just not something I remember as I don't use them often enough.

I did this piece for Scouting magazine's Cub supplement http://www.scouts.org.uk/wp_magazines/supplements/cubs/join-the-bushcraft-network and have written an article on making paracord bits and pieces for a forthcoming issue.

Nice lanyards. I live, sleep, dream knots. If I can help let me know. Here are some knife lanyards I just completed:

Simple lanyard for my new LMF FireSteel Army w. oak handle - aswell as a simple paracord wrap for the striker. Not the prettiest wrap, but it makes the striker highly gripable.

oh I would love to learn how to do that stuff

Working with the cobra knot is simple - and requires very little training.

I remember the knot from my school days, it was taught to us, among other knots, in handiwork class. Unfortunally it is the only one I remember :)

If you do a search on knots in google you will find loads of tutorials about tying different knots thats where I learnt the one I use :)

I'm eager looking for the tutorial thread which will include videos ;)

[JEEP]

Ok, now I can do the cobra knot with my eyes closed. Time to move on to some more challenging knots. Any suggestions?

Mora Bushcraft Triflex w. Ray Mears army sized firesteel - my "cheap and tough" set for rough work. I usually carry it when working in the forest with my dad.

Don't know if anyone else is rockin' the android phone, but I downloaded a pretty decent free app with a varied selection of knots a while ago.

[Paracordist]

Want me to post up some of my how to vids?

Sounds interesting. Wich one is it?

[Urban Ninja]

Checked it out again, it's called Knots Guide, by SusaSoftX. Don't know if there's an iOs equivalent though.
