Lanyard Making Supplies for Knife Lanyards and Handle Wraps
Shop lanyard making supplies for knife lanyards and paracord handle wraps, from braided nylon 550 paracord and a black Japanese-style flat lace cord to skull beads in alloy steel, pewter, carved bone, Czech glass and turquoise. Stainless steel grip beads made in the USA, D-style shackles, swivel trigger snaps and hand-tied skull lanyards round out the section.
Wrapping a knife handle starts on the paracord page, where 550 braided nylon cord comes in 10-foot lengths of solid, two-tone and camo colors, several with a reflective tracer. Its core strands pull out for flat-cord work, and each inch of handle takes roughly a foot of cord. For traditional Japanese handle wraps on tanto-style knives, the same page carries a flat black nylon lace cord in a 10-foot length.
Lanyard beads finish a knife or sheath lanyard or dress up a holster, and their holes measure from 1 mm on the black Czech glass skull to 4 mm on the alloy steel and ABS skulls. Skull choices run from the hand-painted Dead Pharaoh and glow-eyed Night Stalker in alloy steel to pewter, carved bone and turquoise. The Tri-Groove, Model 1G and Model 2G beads are machined stainless steel made in the USA. Gray and white plastic skulls, UV-reactive polymer beads and chrome faux heat-colored beads each come in a 10-pack. For a finished knife lanyard, the skull lanyards page has five hand-tied designs, and the skull bead on each design is removable.
Four pages hold the hardware for hanging and closing a lanyard. The key ring page has a 1.25-inch nickel ring sold in a 1-pack. Trigger snaps turn on a 360-degree swivel, carry a 3/4-inch square stirrup and come in brass, nickel or black finishes. The shackles page offers a D-style metal shackle with either a clevis pin or a compass/threaded post, and the latches page holds a black PVC pinch-n-pull 2-piece set for sling straps and knife pouches.
