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 TH-cam 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.
That is exactly what I was gonna write, good job.
100% Agree!
😎👍
I agree. Good pacing of the steps and clear timely instructions. Made one of these for a new knife while watching the video and it turned out great! Thanks :)
Yep. I 1million % agree. I looked at all the others on You Tube and this one works! I am elated and love my first paracord snake knot on my Tops Mini Scandi Rockies Edition neck knife!
5:18 "...I'm not exactly very good at explaining myself..." After a perfect tutorial on how to tie this knot! #humble #humility Thanks so much for the video!
after watching like 5 videos on this knot, yours is the only one that was simple and straighforward enough for me to replicate. Thank you!!!
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
Finally somebody with a teaching skill, not rushing!!! Excellent.
You're actually very good at explaining yourself. Thanks.
I concur.
Yes, he REALY help me
I've watched multiple videos today (32 till I found yours) trying to learn how to tie this and yours by far is the best one! You are very clear with each step and you don't rush things. Thank you so much for making this video, I can tie the cord right now!!!
You are very kind! I'm glad the video helped!
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...
I still can't do it because I'm stupid, apparently.
Because this isn’t a real snake knot

After watching this vid, I was so good at snake knots that I joined the Navy!
You just gave me a great zipper pull idea for my Jeep soft-top! Good, easy instructions to follow. Well done!
Furious after three other videos, yours is the first one where I was able to follow after the first knot. Good job explaining and showing.
Great job explaining yourself! Followed along easily and made a great lanyard for my knife. Thank you!
Your timing and demonstration was perfect and plain clear simple instructions are on point!!!
You did a great job showing and explaining. I tried others. Glad I finally saw yours. I was able to make a simple lanyard, which is all I wanted to do at this time.
Thank you! Using your tutorial I was finally able to tie a snake knot for my jewelry pieces ❤️
Sweet video. Always wanted to put a lanyard on the end of a few of my knives but could never figure out what kind I wanted to make. I know now. Good looking and super easy! Thanks!
I'm glad you like the video! Did your lanyards/fobs turn out well?
Gold Daddy yeah I just used this video to make one for my knife, I made a lanyard from paracord before, it was good and secure but this knot is really secure and looks much nicer.
48 and happy like a 10 year old tying a lanyard now in my machete. Thanks dude👍🏼
10/10 tutorial; no fluff, all good info, good layout. 👍 Thanks!
Thank you, that was a far easier way to learn this than other videos I had watched - especially for a first time knot maker like myself. I made it super hard on myself too, as I was learning with rope, not paracord!!
You were very good explaining!!
Thanks so much that was really helpful 👍
This helped me out MASSIVELY! Im making a celtic necklace from leather lace with an antler pendant. I wanted a really simple, secure fitting to fit the theme. This is great because its decorative too haha life lesson learned today, thanks.
Awesome guide. Wanted to add a little extra purchase for my dad’s knife as a surprise. Makes taking it out of pocket easier. Super simple and quick guide gave me exactly what I needed!
I Dont know how and just why, but u were the only one who made me understand how the snake knot works, Thanks! i got my "Mad Max" bracelet done and im gonna use it at my Hammock trips...
Excellent! I'm glad I could help you out! Enjoy :)
@survivalkraft I agree! Yours has been the only tutorial that stuck with me. Thank you!
Texset :3 it’s because he prefers BIC
Texset thank u i woldnt no were to start god bless
@@survivalkraft I'm trying, but I only have a pair of Academic Brand Scissors, and a Scripto lighter?? Now what the f***???
Very clear and precise tutorial. You made this fun and not daunting. I thank you and my folding knife thanks you. Well done!
Great job explaining this👍🏻
I love how this lanyard/zipper pull snake method isn’t nearly as thick as others, and it’s fairly easy to tie.
Great job! You made it simple and clear! Now I'm off to put lanyards on everything I own.
Awesome, mate! I just wanted to do something like this for my polar jacket pocket zippers and this gave me a great idea. What I will do however is I am going to use a different type of ending. I will leave about 3/4” pigtails and slide them in a shrinking tube like the one electrician use. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic video! I learned how to do this in literally 1 minute thanks to this video, now I just need to practice more make it better. And sir, you are very, very good at explaining yourself and if you do more knot-tutorials Id watch them all! Thank you so much!
Can't but agree with all the positive comments about your easy to understand & well explained video. Didn't get anywhere with previous TH-cam videos or book illustrations but made a short zip pull in minutes. Thank you!
You've done an excellent job explaining yourself.
Your tutorial is so much simpler and easy to follow than any others I watched. Thank you.
THANK YOU!! Great video!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I’ve gone back to this video 3x to make lanyards over the last yr or two. Nice simple explanation.
I really like this knot. Thanks for the tutorial. You did a great job. I ended up using this to make pull tabs for the zippers on my Jeep's windows.
1 of my 3 favourite knots is the snake knot, easy and great looking 👍
Thank you very much! What are your other two favorites?
im doing this to my edc with the cord it came with till i get more paracord. great walk through good job man
Thanks! I hope it helps. If you post a video of that EDC bag, I would love to see it. Send me a link!
I keep coming back to this video, whenever I need another lanyard or zipper pull... Its such a great knot, functional and looks really neat. Have to relearn it every time, haha. Thank you so much for this fool proof tutorial!!!
Very clear and concise demonstration; thank you. I’m going to start using this on rifle sling adjustment pulls.
I genuinely wish I could like this video more than once; I refer to it every time I make one of these for a folder.
Just tied my first knot on my fire steel! Thanks, now i know how. I subbed also. :)
Greg Outdoors I just did the same ferro rod lanyard and subbed
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.
Nice job. Actually good job explaining yourself.
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.
LOL you explained yourself perfectly, thanks.
Thank you! You are kind :) I had so many takes when making this video!
Well it came out so well that I won't even have to play it again to make my knot.
Ha! That's great! I'm glad I could help!
At 5:17 you said "I'm not exactly very good at explaining myself". In my opinion this is THE best snake-knot tutorial on youtube, and I've returned to watch it countless of times. Thanks so much!
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.
Thanks, I just got started. I’ve just started and have watched several tutorials. Yours is the first one I’ve been able to do. Joe
I'm glad I could help! Good luck!
Now that I can make a Zipper Pull, my Armageddon plan is complete.
At first, I considered speeding up the playback, but resisted. Good thing, because the deliberate delivery was just what the doc ordered.
Good job, thanks!
With your explanation and video I've learned my first knot within 5 minutes! I've paused the video after each step and in two attempts I knew how to do it on myself. Thank you!
Good job!
Thank you, sir!
This was really helpful. Straightforward and you did a good job explaining it. Would love to see more videos on different way to tie stuff like this. Thank you!
Thanks man, I've been wanting to learn how to make EDC knife lanyards for years; and thanks to this video, I'm on my way.
563 people disliked a free tutorial.......Incredible!!!!! Excellent job Sir. Thank you for taking time to put this up....It helped me. Thumbs up!!
Did you steal my Bic lighter? Mine looks just like that.
Yup! I grabbed it while you weren't looking!
lol no one cares
I think those are BOW-LINE knots.... YES they are KNOTS..... :-) :-)
Yes, a string of bowlines
Knots... hahahaha. Comment of the day
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.

THANKS!
I forgot what I learned in my sailing classes...
I’ve watched quite a few videos on making a snake knot, and have not been successful until I saw your video. Thank you. You are very good at this.
I tie this knot fairly often, but not often enough that I don't forget how to start it. I come back to this video every time. Your tutorial is by far the best on TH-cam. Thanks for making it
A dab of super glue on the last knot will keep it from slipping

Awesome video, the best exploration that I've found, thanks a lot!
Thanks to this video I made my wife a very nice keychain. It's easy to do, looks great (especially if you put a bead or two on there) and my wife loves it. She thinks I'm Bear Grylls now.
or by yelling SURVKRAFT YEAH YEAH YEAH 3 times, really loudly.
I think you explained yourself quite clearly. I’m going to go give this a try right now, in fact. Thank you for sharing!
I've gone back to your video at least a dozen times when I want to tie a snake knot. Very well explained! Thank you!
Shameless plugs for Fiskars and Bic.
Zipper pull- exactly what I was looking for. I tied it in normal small (3mm) synthetic braid, so I had to avoid twisting while tightening. Otherwise, everything went very well. Many thanks!
Great tutorial! Thanks for posting. Going to put a lanyard on my Victorinox Pioneer.
Thank you for posting this video. I made a braid out of 10' paracord and ended up with 10.5" braid with 2" loop on either end. I also trimmed off a few inches to remove the loose end and make the final knot even. It takes roughly 10" of paracord to make 1" of braid.
I really appreciate you making this video. I learned this knot for my zipper pulls and it’s awesome. Thanks so much!
I agree with the many comments saying how clearly and exactly you explained this. This is the only video I have watched that allows me to successfully tie these knots. Thank you so much!!
This video helped me make a lanyard my swiss army knife. Thank you.
On the contrary, you have explained this extremely well - Thank you!
this was awesome, my snake knot turned out both cute as heck and functional, thank you!
I think you explained it great. I work in leather and I've been trying to get my head around this knot for a week or so, success, thanks to you. Cheers mate.
You done a great job explaining this man, it didn’t take me long at all to figure it out.
You did a very good job, with clear instruction, with out a bunch of unwanted information. Thank you.
Thanks! I had no idea it was so easy to do something with paracord! I added a lanyard to my first knife make.
I love this!! I live on a sailboat and need to learn knots. I used to make hemp jewelry but. I'm just got my Paracord and I'm making this bracelet right now. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thanks for the great video. I have been trying to incorporate a bunch of cut-off paracord piece's back into my kit, without filling pockets...You just solved that for me. Peace
I just tied my first snake knot zip pull. It turned out perfect. Thank you.
I think you did a great job at explaining the knot, with your help I tied it very easily! Thanks
Hey, just wanted to thank you for the walkthrough. Very thorough and helpful!
My "goto" video for lanyards. I used leather and a brass bearing to cap mine off on my AD20.5 with orange micarta scales. It looks like fire 🥨!
Thanks for sharing this video with us!
Thank you! I could not seem to get this know. That is until I saw this video. You method works.
I'm so glad I could help! Enjoy, my friend!
I just looked up 4 videos and this was by far the easiest and best explained
Easy tutorial, no life story of the knot lol straight to the point 👍
Great! Thank you 🙂
Thanks for this video. You are great explaining how to. It’s rare to find someone you can follow along with without having to stop and rewind. You should do more videos on paracord knots. Thanks again.
I've been trying to find a good tutorial on the Snake knot and this is the best tutorial! Thank you!
I too watched multiple videos on how to do this and was totally confused! Your video was totally amazing and I figured it out while watching! Big BIG thanks!
thanks, i have been suffering with "granny knots" and really like this upgrade! subscribed!
nice, I've always wondered how that knot was tied so thank you for the instruction
As others have stated, EXCELLENT instruction! I had trouble tying this knot, then I found your video. Now I can tie it with no problems. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Good tutorial. And good explanation as well. Thank you. Now my wife is going to make bracelets and all manner of paracord items.
Thank you for this. My suitcase lost it's zipper pull. Now I know how I can add a stronger pull. Thanks again!
NAILED IT ! First time I've actually been able to do this knot correctly after watching a video !!
Spent an hour being baffled by everyone else's instructions for this, thank goodness I found your channel!
Your video was perfect. I was able to make a zipper pull with no problems on my first try. Thank you so much! 😁
This is a really good teaching video. I work at a bead store and just told a customer to go watch this video to learn how to do a Spanish knot which is what it is called usually in jewelry making.
I agree with everyone else, this one was easy to follow. Thank you. Glad I got to yours after only one other vid.
I have to come back to this every single time even though I’ve been tying it for years
I watched a dozen "How to tie a paracord snake knot" videos, but this one is best of them all. I finally managed to tie perfect snake knots, thank you so much for the great and easy explanation!
Thanks for the video. After watching 5 others, this is the only truly helpful one.
Your explanation is 100% spot on. This is the only video on TH-cam that actually makes sense!
This was of great help! You described it in a very easy way, highly appreciate this video! Thank you!
I just made my first knife lanyard with this video. Thanks!
