I am gonna put a lanyard on my Ladybug salt to get a little more length, and was wondering what y'all think would look good with the yellow FRN handle?

Depends on what you're going for, but I'd go with black. I know it's not "colorful" but that bright yellow needs a strong contrasting color IMO, so black would be awesome. If you need color, black with a strand of yellow would be sweet. Either that or a silver or SS bead would be cool.

I put a burgundy lanyard on my yellow Ladybug. Then again, I live in the suburbs of Washington DC. Hail to the Redskins!

Unless there's a good reason to use another color, such as Ted mentions, I'd choose black without a second thought.

You might also consider a two-tone using black and the same color yellow as the handle, assuming that you can find it.

Anyway, it's nothing that can't be changed in a few minutes if you decide on a different color in the future.

There is a new colour "Explode"(yellow with two red and black lines in an helical form)
That would seem ideal with that Ladybug?

I have a thing for the O.D. green but it doesn't look so great on a yellow knife.

I ended up dying it all black with the cord still on the knife. Oh and i highly recommend the pinky keyring...it makes a world of difference.

They have to get the paracord from the USA but I do not know where.
