As for the paracord section, i cut it to length and then put it through the hole, then put one end of the cord inside the other end and melted it together, then tucked that seam inside the lanyard hole so it's out of sight. Then i melted the center section of the cord together to keep the key ring at one end. I didn't want any knots in my grip.

Search "hangman's noose knot" or "Chris Reeve knot" on youtube. That should help. It's pretty easy and you can make it however long or short you want.

- best wishes, Jazz.
Jazz, what is your lanyard used for?

It makes the handle feel longer, making it easier to open and giving you a bit more to hold on to once it's open. Once you try it, you'll definately feel the difference. I only put them on the wee knives. I have large hands. They're not meant for looks, but I think they do look cool.

- best wishes, Jazz.

I have big hands and I can still open mine one-handed. And it fits very nice in the hand. You should have bought a Manbug.

I don't know why the Dragonfly2 is sticking in my head. Maybe because it seems to be a compromise size to carry well, and that is one criteria.
I do like the longer blade length of the Delica. Longer blade is easier to spread peanut butter :-)
Definitely the Delica. I carry my Ladybug 3 SE on my keyring and my Stretch CF for my EDC. The Delica makes a great EDC knife as well; just ask my wife. :) The ergos are great and you can get it in a couple of steels and a bunch of colors.
