You create the problem of making it difficult to get out of your pocket by putting a low ride clip on the knife, then you solve the problem you created by putting a lanyard on it?
I understand that some people think they like low ride clips even with the expense that it makes the knife less useable.
The PPT is one of the only Spyderco knives I know of with a low ride clip. (Actually the Caly series also come with it.) I think the PPT does come with a lanyard and I think the PPT also has some knurling on the clip to help you get it out of your pocket.
I carry inside waistband so the deeper the carry, the better. In that sense, the lanyard makes it easy to deploy. The lanyard if skinny enough does not interfere with it riding deep.
I was wondering the same thing as Donut, I just didn't want to say it. Was waiting to see what your reply was.
Now I'm even more confused.
I like more handle sticking out when carrying IWB than front pocket. All other things being equal I'd want the carry height of say, a Military 1 or Manix XL vs something like the Caly 3 / UKPK.
Why does deep carry work better for you IWB? Is it a concealment thing?
I have about 1.5" of handgun sticking up above my belt and don't have any problems concealing it.
My reasons for carrying IWB
1 Comfort (especially while driving. Top of knife can dig into you depending on the knife)
2 not losing knife due to activity. I have lost a Spyderco civilian while kayaking. While at work doing the things one does, it is easy to do and my knives are not cheap and I depend on them.
3 visibility
4 not as easy to take away from you by surprise. Another good reason to carry two knives (I have taken knives away from my friends while they are not expecting it while it rides in their pocket) this is just a personal neurosis of mine and a defense philosophy.
Not all my knives have lanyards and I don’t always carry IWB. Varries upon situation

The lanyard on my beloved PPT finally disintegrated. Can anybody offer tips on how this old man with poor eyesight, and un-coordinated fingers can recreate this excellent lanyard?
For me the PPT lanyard was perfect in every way. I’d like to attempt to weave something exactly the same. Many thanks!

You have a pic of what you want, with length and I will be glad to make you a snake knot lanyard for it if you like?
I can even put a Titanium spyder on it if you want that too? I have several colors of paracord to choose from. I also have a color that just flat works with all colors.
It's a very unique color that I have found to be really awesome. Your choice if I got the color or can get it, I will. So what is it your wanting???

Thank you brother. You are far too kind and generous. I wouldn’t want to impose on your time.
I think I just need a little nudge in the right direction. The PPT lanyard felt like the cord had been gutted? At least in the loop section. Does that sound correct?
Yes, a lot of guys will cut the inner strands of the paracord to make loops and splices easier. I don't do that with mine. I could, just haven't needed to.
Sometimes mine are harder to get in the lanyard hole of the knife, but I find that some 50 pound mono fishing line looped through the hole and used to pull the full paracord rope back through your knife this way, you don't have to gut the paracord this way.
Makes for a very strong lanyard... So sir you tell me your fancy here on a color or even a two color if you like a combination of colors and just how long over all length you want...
This new computer generation camo color I got is one that has really surprised me, as it goes with everything. The locals here love the lanyards I make from it more than all the other colors combined.
But color is a personal thing, and I will be making this for you; so you tell me what color or colors you want sir and I will make something for you to have a looksee at and we go from there.
Now far as trouble, there is no trouble or I would not have offered. So let's just figure out what you want here and see if we can get you something.
I will include the 50lb mono to help pull this into your knife too. It's just much easier this way, as I am getting the shakes myself and seems the harder I fight them off, the worse they get lol.
Lanyards are like tactical flairA monkey fist on the end of a lanyard is a beautiful thing. Also weaving in 1/2” nuts I’m not a lawyer but that could be a felony if you squint your eyes.
This one adds to the grip on the Mcbee
Most interesting 2” polished titanium skull “bead”
Lug nut lanyard “bead” has style and lethality points.
Where could a person find that first one? Looks really neat.
I was going to ask if yours was hollow. I was enlarging your pics to look fir a seam, lol. I ordered the last one on ebay just now. We'll see how it works.
I made one for you to have a looksee at here. Just from looking at that knife model you have there not at all sure this will pull through the lanyard hole even with the mono fishing line to help...
I have had to drill out more than a few of my knives to get them in. I have a couple there was not enough room to even drill them, so I ran the paracord through the knife and then tied up the braided lanyard, with the knife on the paracord the whole time.
Doing this still allowed me to keep all the inner cords of the paracord intact. Much stronger and longer lasting durability this way.
Even if you don't like this for whatever reason this will get us a starting point from the get go! You can use this on your car or truck key chains also. These things make great zipper pulls as well. I stick them on all sorts of stuff. Heavy coats, jackets and rain gear.
I will cut you a piece of this heavy monofilament fishing line and get this sent off right away, then you figure out if it works or not. Maybe you want one without the spyder, doesn't matter to me, to coin a phrase, "this is like Burger King, you can have this your way"...
I mean ever word of this too, you figure out from this one and I make you the next one... Here is a pic also, for a sneak peek at what is coming your direction, just as soon as you PM me your name and address.
I apologize for my lack of abilities of tacking up the killer pix most of the guys here do all the time... This lanyard is 2" long from the top of the lanyard to the top of the spyder. This is not including the loop...
Edit: you are not at all obligated to use this either, that be if you don't like it or absolutely hate this thing. These I make are not for everybody, so please keep that in mind too.
Anyone try using the paracord sheath over heavy gauge wire for a braided lanyard? Was thinking copper but maybe a large gauge soldering wire because it’s more malleable? Braid the heavy wire/paracord sheath to weight your lanyard. It would look like a harmless lanyard but pack a wallop.

I have two new knives coming this next week, so I made new lanyards for both. One has two Titanium spyders the other has two brass spyders. The brass are on the right-side.
Both tied with this desert camo colored paracord that just seems to go with every color I put it with... Here is a looksee at them.
Edit: The Desert Camo paracord under the ultraviolet torch. It looks brownish, orange, black and blue. You click on the pic it helps my bad pic. It really pops out better.

Wow! That looks great. I really look forward to giving it a try. Handmade items give me much joy. Thank you again my friend.
I will get this off headed your way tomorrow. Then just let me know on the ability to pull it through your lanyard hole.
From there if there is something different you want or would like it longer, shorter, color just whatever.
You can see the ones I make for my larger knives are about twice as long as the one I am sending you. You get this on your knife and you figure out what you think. We can proceed from there.
