Paracord Snake Knot Knife Lanyard - Simple Easy to Tie Knife Lanyard Tutorial 🛠

This comment was by Aaron Jones and may help others: "I've done this lanyard knot on dozens of knives thanks to this great tutorial. Every time I've used a large spool of 7 strand 550 paracord, melting the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying. Today I was doing this lanyard knot on a knife using a new to me paracord. Its called Tough-Grid 550 paracord which has 7 inner triple strands (they seem thicker than the other cordage I use) as well as an 8th "tracer strand" which is thinner.

The first knot went fine but it took several attempts to get the second knot to seat against the first. I could not get a third knot. After numerous attempts the only thing I could think of that would make a difference was the thicker inner strands. I cut the melted tips of the paracord off and made the remaining knots with no problem. With the ends melted the thicker inner strands must have been binding up, preventing the knots from seating. With the open ends it let the inner stands twist freely, allowing the knots to seat. Hopefully this will help anyone using this heavier cordage.

Holy moly, ingenious. The repetition is priceless and essential for us bored 50-year-old adolescent American males playing with our knife toys. Thanks.

Excellent tutorial; thanks so much for sharing. Repetition is the key to teaching something like this, and you did it perfectly with this knot. I’m a clumsy old man, and even I was able to sit down and whip out a nice lanyard for my new knife. Well done! 👍

This is by-far the best tutorial on youtube on how to tie a snake knot .

[Subsonic-gn]

I’ve been watching this for years and keep coming back to, it every time I need to remember it. I’ve made lanyards for knives, keys, and access badges. Thanks again!

Hello Sir! Awesome and funny as usual! Specialy because of Your accent when You are speaking, I just love Your way of talking, I'm always laugthing when You say the word "over"...

Started tying paracord lanyard's for my knives from watching your video, thank you so much!

[John-ozdo]

Thanks . Made one while watching your clip for small torch. Super clear instructions

[bottledriver]

Thank you for the video. I bought a new Esee Xancudo and wanted a paracord lanarde on it, but didn't know how until now. Great video.

[rrcaniglia]

Clear demonstration AND repetition. Great teaching technique. Thank you.

Got my dad a swiss army knife for fathers day. Thanks to you it'll stay attached to his belt!

[Subsonic-gn]

I keep coming back to this video as you explain it so nicely. I thank you for posting. Much love from Houston Texas.

[jayahlemeyer]

Thank you! You are one of they few people that explained this knot clearly. One thing you should add - Don't melt the ends of the cord until after all the tying is done.

[JellytotSupreme]

I won't lie, your words made very little sense to me at first, but the speed you went and how clearly things ended up being shown without any stupid jump cuts, I was finally able to tie this bloody knot after so many failed attempts from other videos. Thank you so much

[pepperread]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate you continuing on to finish the lanyard. As a beginner, I very much needed the repetition! ❤☮️

[eizzle]
