Made with about 7 feet of 1.4mm braided nylon trot line, using a king cobra stitch, also known as a doubled Solomon bar or a doubled Portuguese sinnet knot.
Six lanyard knots were then tied for the vertical section of the cross, with a space between the 2nd and 3rd knots.
A separate 2 foot long piece of cord was then used for the horizontal cross section, with two lanyard knots tied, the cord ends pulled through the space left in the vertical section, then two more lanyard knots tied to finish.
Three crimp beads, from a Michaels craft store, were added to the loop section of the lanyard/fob.
The knife is a variation of the Spyderco Delica.

It's quite impressive that you can do that with just knots.
love this one. i would really like to try to make a cross, but, i cannot for the life of me figure out the lanyard knot. i have watched your video over and over, ive even tried other places. there is just something im missing. is there anyway you can break it down, step by step. sorry about my think skull, and thank you again for your site, it is really great.
When following a tutorial for the lanyard knot, be it a diagram, photo, or video, you have to make sure the cord in your hand looks just like the tutorial's in each step as you go.
I'm really curious about how to do that cross. Could you make a tutorial for the cross please?
iwould love to see it.
That cross is made using a series of 'lanyard knots', with a vertical and horizontal section. More on it can be seen in this blog post.
The top section is just a cobra/king cobra stitch fob with enough extra cord to do the vertical section of the cross at the bottom.
Really cool! That cross is nice.
