Paracord key fob- simple 2 bight
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- In this video I show you how to make a nice looking, simple paracord key fob. It is based on a long, 2 bight turk's head, interwoven with a gaucho fan knot interweave.
The whole process is quite quick, the tightening takes a bit more time than the actual tying.
Enjoy the video!

I finally did this lanyard, thanks for all of your tutorials.
Great video, I am so glad that I found your site I am new to paradord tying and I am learning so much from you. Thank you and keep the videos coming.

Looks like my 1st comment didn’t post. This is the first fob I ever tied; learned it from Johnny Debt. Never thought to add an Interweave. I tied your knot then tied one with a herringbone Interweave. The HB Interweave isn’t as impressive because the knot is so narrow.
Thanks for sharing your skills and imagination.

You do beautiful work! Thank you!
Cheers , great project
Très jolie vidéo 😘👍
Great work as always! Is it possible to reduce the number of turns to make a shorter gaucho knot? I like a shorter key fob.
Indeed you can. Simply wrap around once less at the start and continue the exact same way.
What kind of paracord do you use? Yours looks much softer and thicker than mine. Mine is just normal store bought stuff. 550 paracord. But its slick and shiny looking.
Hey!
The cord I use is made in the USA by E.L.Wood and AtWood companies. They are the most common suppliers I'd assume.

Mark, is there a way to use the working end of the second cord as a lashing around the loop stand rather than a metal eye? Perhaps with inner strands removed to reduce bulk?
Grazie, lo guarderò più tardi...
When you had the lacing needle through the middle why can't the blue working end come through? If it did then you could tie a blue and a purple knot with the four strands sticking out. Great looking fob though.
Cool
Grandes diseños haces amigo.
Gracias por compartir.
Hi Mark, What size rope thimble would you recommend?
Hey Geoff!
The easiest way to find an exact fit is to go to a local hardware store and try it out. The ones I am using are classified as M3.
Mark
Thanks Mark.
They should be the same Nominal Size as your cord. This 3.5mm cord (guess) would use a "3mm" Thimble. Sometimes I minimize the amount of metal by going one size smaller on the thimble, it will still stay on and be less cumbersome. So 2mm or 3mm (1/8") nominal sizes.
Stainless Steel thimbles are very cheap and I use those because I use my bench grinder (fine grit) to grind off the 4 points of the thimble. Makes it much more elegant and comfortable in the hand as well as lighter in weight and bulk. You can grind off More metal as well; I go up the legs of the thimble about 1 or 2 cord diameters, so there is a gap between the ends of the metal. A dab of glue can help, but if the cord loop is snug (with about 1dia exposed cord each side, which is the same size as if the thimble were whole) the thimble will not shift.
De-burr and round off the thimble cuts with 180-220 grit black sandpaper or flap wheel. If you use a galvanised thimble do not grind it as it will start rusting. The cuts you make to a stainless steel thimble will also rust unless you soak them in Ospho, or toilet bowl cleaner etc for an hour or two.
Thank You Mark, your channel is Exceptionally Great!
Hey Mark ... what did you use to make that marlin spike that you are using
Hey!
In the video I am mostly using a lacing needle. A braider's fid makes a short appearance when tying the lanyard knot. Is that the one you mean?
Mark
@@Paracordguild yes the braiders fid sorry wasn't sure of the name
No need to be sorry, we learn by asking questions! It is a braider's fid, also called a belt fid. This one is the classic Osborne 477, made in the USA by C.S.Osborne. One of the tools you can count on as far as quality goes.
Enough praise for the fid though :). I have made a full tutorial on how to make the handle wrap:

Enjoy!
Mark
That cool but it doesn't look easy to me. You are good.
It's easier than it looks. Change the video playback speed to 0.5x or slower and follow along step by step.
what is the metalinsert called?
A rope thimble. You can find these in most hardware stores- in the rope or wire rope section.
Mark
👍👍👍👍
I made it on second attempt.
👏👏👏✌️
