Dragonfly got my first lanyard

#1

Post by DutchBlades »

I've been wanting to make a lanyard for a couple of knives for a while now.
Never really tried it and I would have to order paracord from eBay.

Yesterday I received an Ill Gear Ti-Virus, with a lanyard.
I gutted the lanyard and made it my own style with a Spydie bead :D

Opinions? :)

Nicely done!

I keep thinking I want to tie some lanyards, and then it occurs to me I have trouble tying my shoes :o .

Off topic but I learned to tie my shoes correctly in my 40s when I stumbled on this site. Turns out to be a common mistake.

A bit off topic, but can you explain the ti-virus to me? I googled it and can't figure out what it's about. I'd love to see a "this part does this" sort of diagram of the thing.

Made it as clear as possible.
Try and see it like brass knuckels, only just for the middle finger.
The ring goes around the upper part of your finger (Towards the palm).
Sits in there comfy as can be and packs one **** of a punch...
Great for self defense, window breaking in need, etc.
And is allot more portable on my keys :p
And it looks amazing :D

Hope this helped!

There isn't really a review on them...
Maybe I'll do on in the future ;)
