Seven alloy steel skull beads have a 4 mm hole drilled top to bottom, so they hang naturally on a knife lanyard or fob. Night Stalker has glow-in-the-dark eyes, Long John Pirate wears an eye patch and crown, and Bandana Bob sports a red painted bandana, while Bone Head, Dead Pharaoh, Doctor Nasty and Necro Ninja fill out the line. Stainless steel Von Ripper skulls with hand-painted scars come in 7/8 inch or 1 inch sizes with a 3 mm hole.

A lapidary bit can enlarge the 3 mm hole in the handmade, tribal-carved bone skull and the 2 mm hole in either genuine turquoise skull. The black glass skull, made in the Czech Republic, has a 1 mm hole. Hand-cast pewter skulls come as a gargoyle plated in antique gold or antique silver and drilled for thicker cords, plus an antique gold plated skull that threads onto leather cord or paracord. For grip on a paracord or leather knife lanyard, pick the Tri-Groove bead or the dual-groove Model 1G or Model 2G.

ABS skull beads bored at 4 mm come as a 1-pack in translucent grey, hot pink and five neon colors. Plastic skulls in gray or white share that 4 mm hole and come in a 10-pack for a knife sheath, gun holster or paracord lanyard, and the Super Chrome 10-pack of chromed polymer beads matches heat color work on blades. Paracord, shackles, key rings and trigger snaps sit in other sections of Lanyard Making Supplies, and hole-size questions can be asked on our contact page.
