Paracord knife lanyard/key fob

[@derfabi2353]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Perfectly understandable and the right speed to follow along. I have made several lanyards for friends and family with this video and every single one turned out great.

Mark: Can’t tell you how much I have learned from your videos; paracord primarily but rope as well. Years ago I tried my hand at weaving a rope end back on itself, as well a weaving a loop, from an old knot book. Kept messing it up. Then I watched your video and discovered how easy it was. Thanks for all your time and effort in showing us how it’s done. Donald

Hi Marko! Thank you for the great tutorial. I’m finally able to make these consistently. I did find that getting the loop in at the end was quite a challenge, so i drilled a little hole in the end perpendicular to the mandrel and I run a small piece of micro cord thru it then thru the lanyard, and back thru the little hole in the mandrel. I tighten that up and then just slide the gaucho knot over the lanyard and voila! It’s thru! No fuss,no muss! Thanks again!!!

Hi Marko, I too want to express my thanks for your excellent tutorial. I enjoy making these key fobs and handing them out as gifts especially around the holidays. Most everyone is very appreciative. I find making these key fobs engaging and very nice way to relax at the end of the day. Many thanks.

[@JamesRandall47]

The best site for these knots - clear, well explained. Keep up the good work!

[@kathrynkemp1101]

You are definitely the King of Paracording - love your tutorials, you make them so engaging and enjoyable ;-)

[@misterdonwaters]

perfect timing! i had only recently learned turks heads, mainly from SD's two bight fob and I was getting gauchos down with practice and wondered how the gaucho would look on the 2B fob. no need to wonder. i just finished mine & it looks great. I learned to finish the ends clean and did my first 3 pass fan! thanks for all the help!

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! Glad to hear of your success! I made quite a few of these, really fun to do, right? Mark

[@tanalee09]

Very nice tutorial. I ALWAYS get messed up where the standing ends and working ends cross. ALWAYS. So it took me a little extra time. BUT this was quite easy to follow. I appreciate the Os and Us on the screen. Very helpful. Love you, Mark!

[@Paracordguild]

Thank you Tana for a nice and constructive comment! Mark

[@fluffymittens24]

Fat fingers....any way, that thing kicked my ass. It must have taken me at least 20 times to finally get it right. That was my second interweave i had done, that was about 2 years ago.

[@saxman7131]

Very nice Marco. I've made dozens of these. Love them.

[@imageblogger2142]

Excellent work! Love your tutorials

[@MrGAETANO25]

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . Usefull video lesson that don't find around. I don't like bracelet tut but this type of lesson are very important for me

[@LeroyChester]

I watched your video and I must say it was a great tutorial.. 😀😀

[@uzlowed]

Thank you for this video and for your paracord projects!!!

[@gedep]

wow! Mark. This one is really nice. Really cool

[@gedep]

finally found the time to make one of these. it turned out nice. however, because I tie my knot tight, it is a bit small. next time I'll tie it a bit longer.

[@tanalee09]

Excellent, Marko. I only recommend the lanyard knot method that Weavers of Eternity uses. It's so simple. But still, this is a great tutorial.

[@Paracordguild]

Hey Tana, glad to see you stop by :). I have seen that method and it does indeed look quite neat. But you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it :). Once you learn a knot it becomes a hassle to learn to tie it in another way. I had the same issue learning how to use pins for turk's head knots. I never used them so it was frustrating for me. Mark

[@Paracordguild]

Thank you Mabel for the comment. I do agree that pins can be helpful, usually for tying more exotic knots. I also recognize that you are a knot enthusiast. You have a joy for studying knots. Many people enjoy studying knots. Personally I am more interested in making things. I will study the knots with the intent of using them. For me studying knots is problem solving, for you it is driven by curiosity. This is a common difference among individuals. As long as we respect each other, it is all good :) Mark

[@Paracordguild]

Well, naturally. I am referring to the motivation behind learning knots. Mark

[@raeannuria5691]

Mabel Marble This is why your work is so beautifully done Mabel. I love to watch your videos!

[@hanialdaheem]

simply you are artist man

[@kennethehockenberry6754]

Very well done Marko... Nice tutorial...

[@Paracordguild]

Thank you! Mark

[@marcgigliello4142]

Nice video, with all the different lines/chord it would be nice to see how you tightened everything thing up

[@JackTar361]

Excellent. Thanks

[@pometacacacaca5242]

que guayyy!!!!! para mis llaves gracias

[@antonyeveleigh2180]

another great video

[@CastlinRevFive]

but how to tighten the knots to make it tight? Its the one thing you didn't show..

[@fluffymittens24]

I dont know why you tuck your working ends back in the knot while still working the knot. Which ones do we count or dont count when going back into the knot?

[@francisconavarro4532]

Yes all good but, since you are giving tutorial, you should consider when giving the lecture to keep in mind measuring concept for both:Metric and imperial, just a feed back.

[@-a13x-75]

Have you ever tried submerging your paracord projects in boiling water? It shrinks the paracord a little making any knot or wrap super tight.

[@Joe_Sant]

Great video..

[@frhowe08]

great video. instructions were rag to follow

[@NevenKottnig]

As always great work. Needles, feeds are from where?

[@donbrown663]

as always awesome videos

[@check1mate1]

wow, you just come out with one smash after the next!

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! Glad you like it! Mark

[@gemcatdk]

Hi Mark...this tutorial is awesome and very easy to follow! One question for you though...where can I find that flat head lacing fid that you use? That is great!

[@lisagabaldon4607]

where do you get the tools you were using?

[@DaBeerMaster]

Is it possible to do it with 3 piece of 550 paracord instead? Just asking... thanks :-)

[@عمرناصر-و7ذ]

ممتاز جدا

[@TheJennaCat]

Where can I get a flat fid like you have? That thing looks great!! :-)

[@tanalee09]

Hand made in Germany.

[@francisconavarro4532]

Oh an other thing ,when you are naming the tools you using, with clear pronunciation,or use captions,most wouldn't of heard ,of what was it, threading needle mmm not sure what was it called, you see what I mean lol ,thank you

[@tammylovescats]

sweet

[@carmeloortiz9159]

Nice fid..😊

[@hans-peterdahl7429]

type 2 paracord is it 550 paracord ? :-)

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! Type 1 paracord is the thinner one and the type 3 is the thicker one :). Mark

[@kennethehockenberry6754]

Thank you so much Marko... Thank you completing the key fob too... I'm going to make this one this weekend... Can you please do a 7L6B gaucho fan knot... Kenn

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! Always glad to have you stop by! I'll get on that tutorial ASAP. Mark

[@PrincePedia]

Coooooool!!!

[@kennethehockenberry6754]

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! It is type 1 paracord. It is fairly comparable. Mark

[@brentpaul8244]

[@Paracordguild]
