    In this video I show you how to tie a paracord snake knot for making knife lanyards and fobs, paracord bracelets, zipper pulls, etc. You just need a few things: 1) paracord, 2) scissors, and, 3) a lighter. That's it! Everything else is explained in the video.
    Take care, stay sharp, and be blessed!

    you say you're not very good at explaining this. This is the only video on RUclips I can watch and tie the knot while the dude on the video ties in the knot. No, you explained it perfectly thank you for the video.

      I agree. I watched this a year ago...made a few things and this technique felt natural very quickly. I just went to make another lanyard and my dumb brain forgot the muscle memory, so I had to search for a video, and none made sense like this one. I only need to watch for 30 sec's and am back on track

      LoL I just left him basically the same message cuz everybody has long difficult videos about this not I watched his for a couple minutes and now I have a lanyard that's about 6 in Long and it's tied very good too I suggest if you haven't already on Amazon or probably Walmart if they have the same paracord they have nice thick strong paracord for very cheap that comes in a big roll so when you're doing the knots they come out very good they look professional like as if a machine made it especially when you got a guy like this showing you how to make it...

    To fix the knot so it wont come loose. Use the lighter. Carefully melt the bottom of the last knot together. When that nylon melts to itself it will almost never come loose.

      Al Catraz A bowline knot is used to put an eye or loop in the end of a line. While similar mechanics are used to tie the knots. The bowline is only tied in the end where the snake knot is in the middle of the lines. The snake knitted decorative a bowline is a working knot.

    I've come back to this video time and again over the last couple of weeks.... thank you very much for a clear, simple, easy to follow tutorial.

    This was the best instructional video & knot method I found for the "snake" style lanyard. All the other ones, I just kept ending up with a mess. This is quick & simple, and now I have pink paracord on my pink handle knife, which looks super-cool.

    I think you did a great job at explaining the knot, with your help I tied it very easily! Thanks
