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. Thanks to the Black Hat Bushcraft channel. - Tennessee Smoky

Many times there is an elegance in simplicity and this is one of those times. Those lanyards look great.

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.

Thanks for the tip...very nicely done.

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.

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....

Nice video,, you did a great job explaining how to tie a lanyard.👍🏼

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

Worked great thank you.

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.

Simple but very useful thanks

Looks awesome!! I agree, those small lanyards are great for safely and easily getting the knife out of the sheath.

Nice lanyard knot. Thank you for showing it to us, Matt

Classy, thanks

Enjoyed this very much! Thanks for sharing! ~Dawn

I like that knot because it seems easier to do than some of the other ones I've seen. I will try it. Thanks.

Great video brother, a lanyard is always a wise thing to have, and it looks great too!

Very nice looking lanyards Matt!

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.

Nice...!!

I normally tie a snake knot for my lanyards . Yours knot is much quicker , thanks for that .

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.

Nice job.

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.

Must have a go at that Lanyard. The Corporal sent me over so I better subscribe.

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

👍👍👍😁

Next time perhaps you can use a straw to pass the working end underneath of the loops. Quick and easy.

👍🙏

Thanks, if you use firecord instead of just Paracord it can be used to start a fire. It will look the same. Gene

BTW, I see the heat has driven the black felt hat away in favor of the bandanna.....until cooler weather I would imagine....

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

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.

The sliding necklace not is good. Probably only good for big knives

If you people don’t know knots you shouldn’t handle knives
