Somebody asked me how i did my leather lanyard

A french guy shipped me a spyderco rookie with that sort of lanyard, i found it wonderfull and he explained how he did. Now it's more or less on all my small blade.

A long piece of leather (15cm long with more or less 5-8mm width). The piece of leather go through the lanyard hole. Fold it in the middle.

I cut on one side of "the leather string" in the middle and in the lenght on more or less 1 cm

The uncut side go through the cut in the first one. And i try to obtain the same result than on the picture.

You have a small leather lanyard , you have done it in more or less 3 mn, and it will give a good grip on all the very short and small blade handled.
 
funny that a frenchman taught it to you. it is called a mexican braid. thanks for showing it to us, your photos are great.
