I love putting Snake knot lanyards with 7 knots on every Knife possible. Some with and some without Titanium beads. Love the Channel, I try to watch everything you make. Keep it up! Do you have any Stickers of your Awesome Channel Logo! If not, you should get some made! We want some. 🔪👍😁👍🔧
I really enjoyed this video! Very informative in regards to some of the uses of lanyards. I have always heard about theoretical usage, but have never seen examples like those provided here!
I have a lanyard on my Leatherman Arc. It gives me something to grab onto to help get the tool out of the sheath when I'm not looking at it. I can imagine it helps with the same function on EDC pocket clipped knives, although I don't currently use one. I really appreciate your site. thanks.
@allosaurusfragilis7782 a certain egomaniacal knife “influencer” made the removal of lanyard holes and glass breakers off folders into his life achievement goal. Don’t know why. The industry doesn’t really mind because not having a feature is cheaper for them than having it.
😂 I appreciate your intro explanation. I assumed it was intentional (for that exact reason) as your English and vocabulary is better than most native English speakers. More than that, I very much appreciate all of your videos. This one came in particularly handy as I generally only put a short lanyard with a bead on 3 finger knives for the extra length. However, I just received my first pocket sized fixed blade for heavy duty tasks (that I wouldn’t trust a folding knife for). I found this video very insightful for the use case of a proper length and tie of a lanyard. So of course I made one for fixie. Thanks.
@@CuttingBoardRx I went with an Axial Alpine V2. I honestly didn’t spend a lot of time researching (I was influenced 😂); but it checks most of the boxes I wanted in a small pocketable fixed blade.
@@the4thpower3 never heard but looking at the website it seems to be a nice knife. Pricy, for sure… I would have picked the tanto version with poison-green magnetic overlay! Much a I oppose to any magnets on a folder, having one on a fixed blade kinda makes sense for “survival” situations…
@@CuttingBoardRx I also picked a tanto (I feel it’s a very versatile blade shape, especially how this one is designed) but with the black dunes CF inlays. I honestly feel like it’s under priced. Full tang Magnacut with thick titanium scales and magnetic carbon fiber inlays, great little kydex sheath with a small ulticlip - made in USA. I have Chinese produced folding knives with similar materials that are twice that price. Benchmade Mini Bushcrafter in S30V and G10 for $350?! I think the Axial Alpine is fairly priced at $250 (ok $279 but I got mine on 4th of July sale). To make it fair (in comparing materials) they have a black g10 scale version for only $189. But I guess we all know Benchmades are waaaay overpriced.
@the4thpower3 I recently reviewed a Boker Vigtig vs. Wild (weird name but, hey) made in Zolingen Germany in MagnaCut (!) for $165 (!!!) I plain out in love with that one! And it is even heat treated to the proper hardness for the “wild”. Not to mention a survival compartment in the handle… ruclips.net/video/zRX0Arn8qIg/видео.htmlsi=525U3pqtOCtxRAjJ
I dislike most deep carry clips because it makes it more difficult for me to get the knife out of my pocket. I have also found that many of the knives with deep carry clips don't have lanyard holes. I wish they did because on those that do I put a lanyard on. Thank you for this video. It was interesting.
For me all my knives have the deep carry pocket clip even my Cold Steel knives. Usually I have three MXG clips on hand , once I had to make the hole bigger. Pulling the knife out of my front pocket. I put my hand open straight out ,my thumb slips into my pocket in front of the blade, my fingers straight out I wrap them on the very bottom of the knife, start curling your fingers which starts raising the knife straight up once it's high enough wrap your pinky finger arond the base of the knife , raising a little more so to clear the pocket. Practicing this way till it becomes second nature. I never liked the pinch grip way . Also sticking your thumb in your pocket looks natural plus the palm of your hand covers the knife totally and is proper position to pop it out into the hand , no one could see it being deployed. 😊
I unsubscribed from reviewers who trash companies that put lanyard attachments. It’s ignorant for them to do that. Then turn around and complain about holes for left handed clips. They don’t have to use them yet influence companies to omit them entirely
@@tgonzalez1983 we all know who “they” is. Instead of unsubscribing, you could leave comments like “Cutting Board says…” or “I saw on CBRx channel that…” especially when “they” does the half-assed spine tap test. “They” banned me from commenting on “their” channel and that’s part of the reason I started mine. Don’t you love the irony? 🤣
Nobody should trust "reviewers" that have not even used what they are reviewing. Heck.. some of them even spout all sorts of nonsense after just taking it out of the box 🤣
Wish you and your love a long and happy life! At least one more female watcher on this video as I'm sharing it with my wife who likes making paracord crafts like this. 😄
Actually I like this way to make the lanyard. I'll use it on my Izula. I have a question, my I? Do you have a video about rescue knives, or first responders dedicated knives? I still don't have any and I would like to try EDC one. Thank you.
This channel brings the wisdom
@@loosieclocker uhhmm. Do what now?

@@tonytooltime5373 thanks for the idea! Now I have to get off my lazy butt and do something 😁
Me too! I put a six snake knot lanyard on any knife that accommodates one.

@@johnhughes905 Arc is a great tool. And for sure it’s great that you’re carrying it with the lanyard!
I LOVE lanyards
Me too. Don't get why there's a lot of negative comments about them. I'm on a boat a lot and lanyards are sensible.

It's not a big deal. There's so much choice these days.
I use them on small knives to give me more grip. I also use them on my bushcraft knives for safety and other uses.
Definitely a very useful addition to a bushcraft knife!

Nice to know your name Evan! Another great video. Keep up the great work.
Nice demonstration. I think that technically these are fobs rather than lanyards, but doesn't really matter.
The first one is more of a fob but the second one is definitely a lanyard!
Thanks for the tutorial.
@@Warsmith_Honsou you are welcome!

Totally agree with you on this! Thanks for commenting!
I buy zipper pulls and slip on pocket clips. It helps on knives like the livewire. Plus many colors to choose from no skills required.

@@BladeWalker77 I have a video about Nikov Rescue multi tool. A very interesting piece and not too crazy expensive.
Also, DCA did a Q&A video on that very topic pretty recently. Search @knifecenter channel
