Ladybug H1 came in today, need lanyard suggestions

#1

Post by PsychGrad »

I just opened my Ladybug H1, and very pleased with it as always. I immediately started thinking about lanyard options. I was thinking of some type of knot with the ladybug on one end and a photon on the other. I'm not sure if this is even realistic.

Any suggestions and/or pics would be much appreciated.

Might have to think about that myself as I just got mine Thursday. I need to dye it purple first. :)

I'm not sure if you're asking how to make them, but if you are here's a vid of a couple of knots. The guy shows how to make them very clearly.

I was hoping for something I could make myself. Not sure if I have the skill
set though. I wouldn't be opposed to buying something.

This is one of the easiest I know. Hangman's knot or Reeve knot:

None of my Ladybug knives go naked, my 'lanyard' of choice is a Victorinox Classic. I carry this combo in the watchpocket of my pants and is then easily removed for use or security checkpoints. If I attach something to my keys I'm sure to forget taking it off when needed.

I've played with using a bit of Glow-in-the-Dark cord for a lanyard on mine (not true paracord but poly or nylon cord). But it doesn't get charged up much since it's nearly always in my pocket :) .

I do find that having just a bit of cord knotted in a loop to my ladybug (I'm not very good at making fancy lanyards) greatly improved my grip on the little knife.
