I’ve been doing this for about 8 years! There’s been long periods in between my last knot I’ve done so I have to come back to your video! Love this lanyard. I appreciate you putting this tutorial out so many years ago!
A knife lanyard should be able to go completely around your hand over the front end of the handle, back over your hand to the back of the handle, sort of like a hand guard on a sword, this helps keep the knife from completely slipping out of your hand
Man ive been watching this video for years. Every time i get a new knife i forgot how to tie the knot. Thanks for this great lanyard idea. Ive also done it with 550 cord if anybody wants some color.
No need to apologize for the length of the video, man! This is one knot that is easy to tie, but difficult to perfect. The extra detail you showed us helps a lot. It would have taken me awhile to figure this out on my own. Next time I'm in walmart, I'll be buying some leather laces!
This helped me a bunch. My first knot was sloppy. I took it apart and tied it a second time. It took more time for straightening the flat wraps around each loop but looks much better. Thanks a lot.
I watched this video numerous times. I mean I know by heart how to make the hangman’s lanyard, I just like looking at different knives. I have a number of these lanyards on various knives I have I like them as I’ve grown used to using them for quicker retrieval. Appreciate the video, fyi each one I’ve made I rub hand lotion all over them for the first few days. Makes them super flexible/limber and my hands too have vast cuts on them.
great video- been using a leatherish shoelace to practice for my higonokami which is in the mail. I managed to do this knot first try thanks to clear instructions so thank you.
Looking for inspiration for a leather lanyard for my new fixed blade and found your video. I added a distressed copper bead and worked the lace with glove oil for a few weeks before tying to exopodite the break in. I'm very happy with the results. Thank you
Great video after watching a couple times I tied a perfect lanyard the first time. I love these lanyards really nice and looks great on pretty much any knife.
Awesome vid man - really appreciate you taking the time to put this together for us here. I purchased a Buck 113 and plan on making a leather lanyard for it. This was definitely a big help.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, nice video great explanation, Suggestion, you can buy latigo by the spool usually 50 feet it's more reasonable in either 1/8 or 1/4 inch wide, at Craft Supply stores, Tandy or Weaver leather, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
I really like the look of the worn boot lace leather. Not sure why you'd need it for a knife, with a pocket clip, but looks great on your slip joint. Then again, to each their own.
Just wanted to say thanks for the vid, I have it bookmarked and view it about every two months when I do a batch of cheese boards, the knot looks great on my black walnut boards.
Great video man I just added the lanyard to my dads ZT 0450cf Christmas gift I'm getting him this years Great finishing touch and I hade to add it to my ZT 0562cf Great job man well appreciated
I find stretching the leather and rubbing in some boot polish with a cloth, makes the break-in quicker and the cord more pliable and easier to work with. Particularly if you want to tie knots like lanyard knots.
I just can't get behind making anymore paracord lanyards for my Knives anymore.. Leather just looks so much more...classy? Especially on my CRKs and hinderers.
Very nice! I remember the previous video you did on this from years ago and I did it on a few knives back then and they still are on there and good. I even used a little Obenauf's on it to keep it supple and from drying out over time
When you first get the leather I would treat it with a good leather conditioner first. This will soften the leather right away, and make it easier to work with. It will also slightly darken the leather as well as protect it from cracking.
hi, i just started using the leather lanyards,as i was using just para cord because of the colors they offer, i said to myself'" why not go back to the basic's! buy the way the HD is amazing,thanks.
Thanks for the vid, i went and ordered 1 pair of dark brown and 1 pair of "gold and brown" after watching. Also, that sebenza is amazing, need to dig through your vids and find that one now :D
Great video, does anyone have a source for thicker leather? I'd like to make one for my keys but am a little concerned shoelace might wear too quickly.
Hey man awesome vid! This is my first comment on any video and particularly because you did an awesome job. I just put one of these lanyards on my Canadian belt knife and it looks superb. Not quite as nice as yours but I got it done in the first try. Thanks a lot bro! Keep up the good work!
I’ve read comments from 8 years ago. Tonight I tied two lanyards using your video. Thanks for taking the time to help us out.

I need the easy one now lol 😅
Obenauf's leather oil will soften the leather laces as well as preserve them....

I love your background. This was a relaxing video to watch.
That's awesome, mine does not look great, but I'm sure they will look better with each one that I make.

I already knew how to do this knot but did not know how to make the spiral tighter thanks for the help!!!
One and done, great tutorial I was able to make it the right way the first time through.
Same. I have done 4 knives like this from this video. I never need to tighten mine tho, as I don't need a big loop to grab from at the bottom.
Great explanation and tips and tricks. Just added this to a wooden spork I carved.
Good Job with this video. Very concise and well explained.
Good video bro. Got Benchmade proper CF and wanted leather lanyard and yeah now I got one. 😁😁
Thanks... very nice addition to my axe!
Thanks heaps for the video! That knot just added an extra character to my knife that I simply adore

Sweet lanyard i would probly tie a knot in the slack line of the noose so It would be impossible to pull loose
Great information, now I don't have to wander around the craft stores with the home makers looking for the leather cord
Thanks for this! Been looking around all day to see how to do this👍
Great video after watching a couple times I tied a perfect lanyard the first time. I love these lanyards really nice and looks great on pretty much any knife.
Great vid, thanks for passing on the helpful knowledge. Appreciate it.

10 years ago you uploaded this video still helping, thanks, hope you are doing well

Very helpful video, thank you!
Is the process the same with a bead?
Awesome. Thanks Randy.
Great video man I just added the lanyard to my dads ZT 0450cf Christmas gift I'm getting him this years Great finishing touch and I hade to add it to my ZT 0562cf Great job man well appreciated

Nice! I was just about to ask you about how you do those then i noticed this video! Thanks man!
Very cool ! Thank you for such detailed instruction. That is very helpful
Where did you get the gold hard wear for the sabenza
Awesome! Thanks bro followed along and got a beautiful knot on my Fallkniven now
Very nice! I remember the previous video you did on this from years ago and I did it on a few knives back then and they still are on there and good. I even used a little Obenauf's on it to keep it supple and from drying out over time
This works with paracord to ?
Thank you for a great video. Your english spelling is so clear that even I can understand it. I am your fan and im from Finland! :)
Nice thank you for showing us
When you first get the leather I would treat it with a good leather conditioner first. This will soften the leather right away, and make it easier to work with.
It will also slightly darken the leather as well as protect it from cracking.
Thanks! I am going to tie this on a lanyard of a walking stick that I made.

6 years later but still useful 👌 thanks
Thanks for the vid, i went and ordered 1 pair of dark brown and 1 pair of "gold and brown" after watching. Also, that sebenza is amazing, need to dig through your vids and find that one now :D
This is awesome, exactly what I was looking for 🙂
What is that traditional pocket knife in the background please?
Great video, does anyone have a source for thicker leather? I'd like to make one for my keys but am a little concerned shoelace might wear too quickly.
I'm using some 3/16 deerskin lace. Flatter than what you're using, but worked perfectly, first try. Looks nice. Thanks.
+Keith Peters where can i find deerskin laces??? sounds like a great idea bro!!
+*night_stalker1975 * Amazon, eBay
Solid vid, good job man.
love the CRKs!!!
I see a slipjoint knife. Wharncliff blade? Please show that knife. Also do you mod slipjoints? Thanks for the instructional vid.
Nice ring !!! Where did you buy it ??
Thanks bro this helped a lot.
What’s the thickness of the cord please?
Hey man awesome vid! This is my first comment on any video and particularly because you did an awesome job. I just put one of these lanyards on my Canadian belt knife and it looks superb. Not quite as nice as yours but I got it done in the first try. Thanks a lot bro! Keep up the good work!
