I also like 8" blades for survival. I Do the over the thumb style lanyard which is large enough for me to choke up on as you described. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I use the pinky lanyard when chopping and it has always worked well for me. The long style lanyard wrapped around the thumb feels more secure but I don't like a long piece of paracord dangling from my knife - it tends to get snagged on branches when moving through thick brush. I see you're using the Esee 6 with the custom g10 brown and black handles from the Knife Connection. I have the same knife and handles with the kryptek mandrake kydex sheath and LT Wright fire steel. It has become one my all time favorite survival knives.
This was great. As soon as I put my axe's one on my hand I feld unsafe with it, cause it would swing back straight into my chest in case of slippage! Thanks for the tips.
first off great tips man, I never heard of the forearm method that's good to know.. 2nd I literally just had a convo with my buddy about the whole pendulum action while chopping. thanks again for another great video
Just wondering if you've ever used the technique where the lanyard is looped over the spine of the blade just forward of the grip more or less forming a D-guard for the fingers. Love the Survival B.S. videos, BTW.
I never find a big knife thats not thick backed; what I want is a big knife thats ultra thin that strips bark well. (I dabble in carpentry/woodworking).
Great tips! Never heard of the lanyard on the forearm to take the weight. Thanks for that one!
Glad you found it useful! Safety first to all our viewers out there!

I don't understand it at 03:57. Please could you explain slowly how you tied it to the handle? Thanks
Good Useful Common Sense Tips as always. Nice simple project when one is stuck indoors on these Cold Winter days! Thanks!
