Neat, chunky, colourful Lanyards.

Firstly, let me say a heartfelt "hello"....I'm both new to this hobby and this forum. :wave:

Yes, lanyards. On looking through pictures of lights/collections belonging to established 'torch-a-holics' (sorry, I'm English, I often see the most BEAUTIFUL, rope/braid colourful lanyards hanging off of their torches. Either they're custom/home made, or they're unique to North America.....as I can't for the life of me find anything in the UK even close to the quality of the lanyards I see you guys draping from your torches.

I would kill to own a couple for my first two torches (a couple of nice Fenix models on the way). See, I'm a kak-handed SOB and handycraft of any kind is quite beyond me, so if anyone knows of someone in the hobby that makes/sells them, and would be prepared to send a couple to the UK for a negotiated price, I would be eternally grateful. That is if there isn't simply a website that sells them too?

Most grateful for any forthcoming help. :thumbsup:

Welcome Slitheen, I am from a torch country too

I am sure you will find a hobbyist who can custom make exactly what you want, if not a serving Police Officer sells his products through my site: http://wolfeyes.com.au/lanyards-p-85.html

Good luck in your quest, I am sure you will find someone who has just what you want

PS Don't forget to try the CPF Marketplace section too, located at the top of this page in the blue bar

Seriously guys, thanks a lot. And believe it or not, I spent a good while Googling before I asked here, so some of these sites are pretty well hidden. Googling 'custom lanyards' just brings up those funky, crap made in China, mass produced things for mobile phones and ID cards. Not what i wanted at all. You guys have put me well on the right track.

That lanyardzone place has some *seriously* beautiful stuff....but they seem to be all made specifically for knives. The torch specific ones I've seen have a split ring on them as opposed to the long loop for attaching to a knife. I'm working out if one could be adapted without breaking the cord anywhere, or if I should email and ask if a couple of torch specific custom jobs could be knocked up for me.

If not, I'll be buying one of their key fobs anyway....and continuing my search elsewhere. As with all my EDC stuff, I like to buy quality items that will last for many years....so it is worth the effort hunting for the right thing.

:welcome:
Not sure if Greenled still makes them.

Sorry about that Jag -got some nice work there:thumbsup:

I was actually looking for someone who had done a survival wristband for me
and though he might make lanyards as well -got sidetracked with the few makers i did find.

All fixed now though

Cheers

Just to let you see some really unique lanyards and other interesting rope work: http://stormdrane.blogspot.com/

I got about 50' of Coyote Brown, 50' of Black and 50' of Olive Drab w reflective tracer paracord coming to me.... I think I'll be weaving up a few lanyards soon...

It's really not that hard, even for a novice if you just look it up on the appropriate website. What it does take is some practice and time.

I have 100 feet of paracord laying around because i cant find a tutorial to make a lanyard exactly like the ones on the NDI

Personally, I don't like the lanyard that came with my NDI. I prefer the lanyards with the tails...
