Lanyard Beads

[1911junkie]

Lanyard beads, w/Paracord, or w/o. Why are these things so expensive? I wouldn't mind having one, but not at half the cost of the knife! Can these be purchased somewhere reasonably?

I think the Spyderco beads are very reasonably priced. The only knives that these beads are half the price of are the ladybugs.

Square pewter are only $15. Round are a little more pricey at $25, but aren't too crazy for a pewter bead.

They sell them individually, any where from $1-7 and they have some very nice spacers. Also, they have pewter beads for a dollar as well.

You said you could do without the para cord, but they have good deals on it, starting at .08 cents a foot and most of it is mil spec, which is tested above the commercial 400 Lbs
