Lazy Sunday in May...

This lazy Sunday afternoon's right front pocket edc(everyday carry) is a Wenger Commander Swiss Army Knife with an orange paracord wrist lanyard.

For this lanyard, I added a flamed titanium lanyard bead and tied "The Crown and Diamond", which is shown in 'The Ashley Book of Knots' as knot #784.

WhyKnot recently uploaded a tutorial for this knot on his YouTube channel, mentioning the diagram in Ashley's book is incorrect, as there are a few errors sprinkled throughout Ashley's book, some noted in this IGKT forums thread(International Guild of Knot Tyers).

I uploaded two photos showing both sides of the knot, which look the same.  I finish the ends of the paracord by pulling out about 1/4" worth of the inner strands, trim those with scissors, pull the outer sheath back down, then a quick heating/melting  of each end with my lighter and crimping flat with my hemostats.

If you need an edc backpack, check out the limited edition VENOM and VENOM RED mochi drawstring backpacks with Stormdrane logo, which I receive a percentage of sales from, each having a stitched paracord handle that I worked with Mochibrand on for the design.
