Update: My gun club buddy's Kershaw 1660 knife tip was catching on the "Y" opening just before the snake knot start. So replaced it with this thicker crown sinnet finished with 4 strand Walker, plus matching keyring fob.

My son wanted a lanyard like on this : Microteck w/lanyard So this is what I made for him. It is a quick deploy type, so it comes apart easily. It looks bigger than the one above, I think they use smaller dia cord.

Tks Tim. Here's a new weave for me, flat snake braid terminated by a wall/footrope. This flat braid would make a nice bracelet for a young'n, snake braid link The knife and 2-aaa led light are a nice inexpensive combo. Make a nice $20 gift, link : Browning Bush craft combo (sorry, sold out 2/8/20) Two feet black cord and one foot of orange went into this one.  closer look at the flat braid:

Nice work Bob.
And no explanation necessary. I EDC a Streamlight flashlight in my left pocket opposite the Kershaw in the right.

Santa knew what I wanted, a modern Leatherman - Skeletool. There's a large set of interchangeable bits available too. Reused a lanyard for this one:

Repurposed the lanyard that was on this US Link to the Leatherman above, so whipped up this new snake knot topped off with a lanyard knot. Love the feel/heft of this Kershaw - feels/looks like it means serious business.
