Ball bearing fist lanyard with sinnet and skull topper...

I call this a 'skull knocker' lanyard/fob. The monkey fist has a 5/8" chrome steel ball bearing in the center for a little weight, round sinnet set above the fist, small pewter skull bead, and a hangman's noose for attachment to a knife, flashlight, or keychain.

*Note: ABoK #1863 has probably been the inspiration for this type design for many knot tyers, of a Turk's Head or Monkey's Fist knot with a sinnet and loop. The drawing for that one is actually showing a couple of ways to loop onto a ring, with the lanyard/fob used as an example.

Assorted paracord lanyards and fobs...

Various knot work...

Neon orange paracord monkey fist lanyard and some glow cord in with the cobra stitch. Both sides of the glow cord shown in the glow pics.

Tight fit lanyard/fob loop pull assistance...

Some lanyard holes on knives can be a tight fit for a loop of paracord, so I use a piece of string, dental floss, or fishing line to help pull the lanyard loop thru the knife's lanyard hole as shown in this sequence of photos.
