Knot tying video tutorial. Learn how to make a knife lanyard knot with paracord. Easy step by step instructions for tying a knife lanyard knot in this simple guide.
The diamond knot is an ornamental knot. It is also known as the sailor’s knife lanyard knot, the marlin spike lanyard knot, the bosun’s whistle knot and the friendship knot.
Use/Application
It is often used as an ornamental part of a knife or tool lanyard. It can also be used to make paracord jewelery, as a decorative button or end knot on a paracord survival bracelet or key fob or zipper pull. If you pull the slack out and completely close the loop you can form a large button knot which can be used as a functional button. Sailors used to tie the knot with a large loop and use the loop as a necklace with the knot as an attractive pendant. Tied in larger rope it can be made into a dog tug toy.

After watching a few other videos on how to tie a diamond knot, I landed on your tutorial and within a few minutes of watching how you used your fingers to form the carrick bend, I was up and running, creating a crown knot with ease. I even used it with two cords to form a "double diamond" knot. When attempting to tie a double diamond knot with a single cord, you once again provided a clear and easy to follow tutorial. Thank you

There is something very satisfying about the whole process of tying this beautiful knot. I tied one just below the loop, and then put that one over the back as a new loop and tied a second one further down.

Needed to put a bigger button on the end of a bracelet and this knot worked perfectly! Thanks for the great guide!

You, my friend, are an expert teacher and have taught me more useful knots than I even knew existed. I love your channel and your very easy to follow teaching method. For a knot head like me, that is saying something.

If I need help on that figurine how to do a knot I just go to for the birth and not send a message and then they'll give me examples on how to do it which is great right now I'm trying to do a holster for my phone but I need to figure out how to do a Diamond Knot so it doesn't fall off when I bend over I want to put it in my suspenders of my pants

This is an excellent tutorial. I have stayed away from the double diamond for years. I did it on the first try after watching your video. Thank you so much!

So cool. I was looking for different knot variations for neck lanyards to sell and your video helped me master this knot. Now thanks to you I don't need to watch this anymore. I'm making a good amount of money selling these to different people who want decorative while also durable knots. It's truly one of the strongest knots for hanging small to medium sized objects. I just wanted to thank you and keep up the good work.

Thank you! After watching three other videos this knot had me close to screaming point, just couldn't work it out. Your approach to doubling up the initial diamond knot looks different to other vids but so much easier to follow. Much like weaving a Turk's Head. I watched this once, then again following along and ... done! I think it's the pacing. Other demonstrations just go too darned fast, yours is just right.

This is the first time I've seen this knot doubled in this way as I always double it on the other side which is much easer . this is a double footrope knot which is a diamond inside out if you roll the crown down over the wall you will have a diamond knot

Is it possible to rather than follow the stand around, to go opposite to the first pass? By which I mean, if strand went over the second pass would go under? I might try it myself, but I"d like to hear if it's been done and has worked. I have done a similar knot but began with 4 strands, I began with a 4 plait, built the knot then continued the plait. The challenge in my version was I used leather and you must make sure the skin side is twisted to the outside to maintain the look. Great video btw.

@WhyKnot 8 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure. I have never seen it tied that way. I might try. Thanks for the input.

No worries, might end up just being a specific method for tying a globe knot, as it should become over and under all over. if you pull the loop into the center like a Chinese button it would make for a very swanky stopper knot for the Mad Max Para cord bracelet. One last thing. I've had some really good success for bracelets by taking 2 cords, gutting one and then with a fid, threading the ungutted cord inside the gutted shell. I initially used this method for making cores for 2 belly para cord stock whip thongs - I also would thread into larger diameter shells cut progressively shorter to establish the taper- When used for bracelets it provides a good stiff foundation for a cobra weave with regular cord, or a very strong and stiff cobra weave using the double shell cord. Anyhoo thats enough ramblings for this Scotsman living in Houston who once went to primary school in Victoria AU. LOL. ciao.

I believe this is tied incorrectly. At 7:15 , you can't go straight up the middle of the knot. Instead, you should follow the top of the knot, go past the standing end (the part that forms the loop), and then go up the middle... just like you do when you tie a single diamond knot. If you follow the instructions in this video, you will end up with your some of your strands crossed over.
