After reading a thread in the Cafe on lanyard materials, I got to thinking about putting a lanyard on my A2. But I didn't want to stick a split ring through the belt clip because then you can't hang the light in a useful orientation. They have that handy turn-down near the tailcap...maybe a nice simmetrical knot would do the trick?
Well, a kind fellow over on rec.crafts.knots helped me find the answer, I think. For those of you who have Ashley's book of Knots, it is #787, the knife lanyard knot. It seems to work pretty well, and is fairly easy to untie if necessary yet should be secure enough for most purposes. It seems to require cord that is 2-3mm or smaller, though.
If folks are interested, I'll see if I can take some pics...
