Matt always does a great job with his videos. I have referred to this particular video several times over the years. Still one of the best demonstrations on applying a lanyard to your bushcraft type fixed blade knife. Detailed instructions, good camera setup, and easy to learn.

Matt I haven't watched a single video yet that you've made where I thought the information you're sharing isn't great. You've taught me more than you ever had to and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you and God bless.
Nice video. Knot is called a nail knot, sometimes used by fly fishermen to connect fly line to leader. Here a nail is used to keep the loops separated, making easier the step of passing the tip through the loops.
I like that short lanyard idea. And that knot looks good too. That idea would work well on my PKS knives since they all have that same sheath type and sent low inside their sheaths. Thanks for sharing your ideas and experience with us Matt. And God bless.
I actually have the same design with leather on my PKS knives as well :) It has become sort of a "trademark" for my knives I guess. thank you for tuning in and God bless!
Great vid Matt! As you were demonstrating how to make the knot a thought occurred to me that you could use a sail needle to weave through the loops rather quickly. I agree the lanyard is a great addition to your knife. you should have a video on the proper way to use the lanyard as most people do not know.
I made a hangmans noose to use as a lanyard. When my knife is in the sheath, I loop the noose over my ferro rod to use as a restraining method. And when in use I can cinch it up to just go over my wrist.
Thank you for tuning in! I am actually in the process of gathering some things for my 1k GAW! I want at least a couple of items to be self crafted. It is easy to purchase something to give but I want to make it it just a bit more personal. Stay tuned, details will be coming up soon. Thank you for your interest and support!
I’m an absolute lanyard nut when it comes to blades! I love that fixed blade you put that on as well as that beautiful leather sheath! So I’ve been wanting to get into bushcraft to teach my grandsons so my question to you is Kydex vs leather? I’ve seen some folks say ones better than the other leather shrinks but kydex needs to have a drain hole? Personally I love the look of leather. Also what’s your thoughts on lanyards that have a sliding bead so you can put your hand through and then tighten up to prevent the knife from being lost when in low light situation and then loosened so that no branch’s get caught in lanyard hole and pulling blade out of sheath. One more question? What’s your choice in blade steel? 1095 or do you prefer something like an S30V? Great video!! You have a new subscriber
I have some knives where The lanyard is useful in removing the knife from a deep sheath. Some of my heavier blades have lanyards that can be used on the pinky for more leverage. It's all personal preference.
Really late to this ... try to learn a Whip stitch. This puts the bite end you need to pull tight under your wrap first and triples that speed you can do this. Hundreds of vids on whip stitch available.
Many times there is an elegance in simplicity and this is one of those times. Those lanyards look great.
Thank you so much Lonnie! I really appreciate your kind words my friend! Take care.

That was so easy to watch and follow! Thanks for making such a great video! Love the technique!👍

Thanks for the tip...very nicely done.
More gold from Matt. Nice lanyards bro. Simple and effective. Like the beads also. Great idea. Respect, Salute and God Bless ya Brother. Stay Safe....

I like that knot because it seems easier to do than some of the other ones I've seen. I will try it. Thanks.
Good video ! Thanks !
Nice video,, you did a great job explaining how to tie a lanyard.👍🏼
I normally tie a snake knot for my lanyards . Yours knot is much quicker , thanks for that .
Worked great thank you.
Nice lanyard knot. Thank you for showing it to us, Matt
Absolutely my friend! Thank you for taking the time to watch. I appreciate your interest!
Looks awesome!! I agree, those small lanyards are great for safely and easily getting the knife out of the sheath.
Simple but very useful thanks

That's a good idea, the sail needle comes in handy for 101 uses for sure. Thank you for watching and the suggestion.

Great video brother, a lanyard is always a wise thing to have, and it looks great too!
Thank you Torrin! I appreciate that brother. Thanks for watching!
Next time perhaps you can use a straw to pass the working end underneath of the loops. Quick and easy.
Enjoyed this very much! Thanks for sharing! ~Dawn
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your interest and kind words Dawn.
Very nice looking lanyards Matt!
Thank you brother! I really appreciate you tuning in!
Must have a go at that Lanyard. The Corporal sent me over so I better subscribe.
Hi Matt, nice lanyard, u should think about having a give a way. I also noticed ur knot is similar to a uni fishing knot. Nice job. Bless u.

Nice...!!
Thank you for watching!
BTW, I see the heat has driven the black felt hat away in favor of the bandanna.....until cooler weather I would imagine....
You hit the nail on the head there Todd:) It is so hot and humid right now it is almost unbearable. I do miss my trademark hat though!
yep...I'm wearing bangora straw and palm leaf straw now...lol
Thanks, if you use firecord instead of just Paracord it can be used to start a fire. It will look the same. Gene
👍👍👍😁

You are right. It is decorative meaning it is useless.

The sliding necklace not is good. Probably only good for big knives
Thank you for watching!
If you people don’t know knots you shouldn’t handle knives
