Merry Christmas!

Red and green 1.4mm cord used for the long 4 bight Turk's head knot, over black paracord, attached to a black snap hook with a cat's paw knot at one end, and an S-Biner at the other end, finished with the snake knot.

Flat Braided Lanyard...

I used the last of my dark brown leather cord for this one, cutting 3 six foot lengths of the 2mm round leather cord, the centers of the cords looped onto a snap hook, tying a lanyard knot with two pairs of the cord ends, pulling the third pair through the center of the knot before tightening.

I tied a 3 strand flat braid with the three pairs(6 ends) for about 18 inches(also shown in 'The Book of Decorative Knots' by Peter Owen), looping one pair around the Niteize S-Biner, and tying a lanyard knot with the other two pairs with the pair from the S-Biner up through the middle of that knot before tightening.

Then taking the pair from the S-Biner and one of the other pairs to tie a second lanyard knot, which secured the loop pair, with the remaining pair through the center of that knot. And finally tying a third lanyard knot with two pairs, then the remaining pair through the center of that knot, and trimmed/tucked all the ends.

This one may work for use as a wallet lanyard, or for a pocket knife, flashlight, multitool, or maybe a pocket watch...

Another flat braided lanyard tied with 2.4mm nylon cord, and used some doubled up snake knots on one end. The nifty little Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is an Orange Alox Rambler.

Braided Leather Lanyard...

I started with two 5 foot lengths of 2mm dark brown round leather cord, centers of the cords looped over the snap hook/swivel clip, tied a lanyard knot with two strands and the other two through the center of it.

Tied a 4 strand round braid for about 14 inches, made a single crown sinnet at the end of the round braid, putting the Niteize S-Biner through the crown sinnet.

Then continued the crown sinnet back up around the round braid for about 1.5 inches and finished with a crown and wall knot, tucking the ends back down into the knot before trimming off the excess.

The Swiss Army knife is a Wenger Evogrip 18.

I'd done another with paracord last year, but figured one in leather would be a little different...

Paracord and Leather Turks Head Knot Firesteel Fob/Lanyard...

For this pocket knife fob/lanyard, I used a length of gutted camo green paracord and tucked a 1/8" by 2" long misch metal mouse firesteel into the paracord sheath.

I tied a Celtic button knot on one end and worked the firesteel down against it.

I then tied a 17 lead 4 bight turks head knot of a single pass, with round 2mm dark brown leather over the paracord covered firesteel. Added a copper colored bead(from Hobby Lobby) and tied a scaffold/multiple overhand sliding knot to finish.

The pocket knife is a Victorinox Tinker. My previous post with with firesteel fobs/lanyards is linked here.

Here's a couple of the firesteels with a single strand of paracord in a two bight turks head knot, using less than 2 feet of paracord. To be worn as a pendant on a chain, a zipper pull, or added to a key ring.

And one using 3 feet of paracord as a lanyard for a Swiss Army knife...
