It's been a while since I'd made a spool knit lanyard, using type I/#95 paracord (navy blue).
It was more difficult than it used to be, especially finishing the ends with the smaller diameter cord and my vision problems (legally blind)..I did the lanyard knot and loop at one end, and still had cord left, so went over that with a doubled 5 lead 4 night Turk's head knot which didn't look right to me after tightening, so I continued over that with a herringbone knot.
Most of that was done under my magnifying floor lamp and my patience was wearing thin, lol, so the other end of the lanyard got a simpler treatment attaching to the swivel snap hook...
Knife shown is a Victorinox Mountaineer with orange g10 scales that I bought from Swissbianco. The edc flashlight is a JetBeam Jet-1 MK. Timex Expeditition watch on a black nylon zulu band with a luminous Suunto Clipper compass (because even though I'm legally blind I still have some ocd need to know which direction I'm facing as I sit in a doctor's office waiting room, lol)...
