Paracord Snake Knot Knife Lanyard - Simple Easy to Tie Knife Lanyard Tutorial 🛠

- This comment was by Aaron Jones and may help others: "I've done this lanyard knot on dozens of knives thanks to this great tutorial. Every time I've used a large spool of 7 strand 550 paracord, melting the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying. Today I was doing this lanyard knot on a knife using a new to me paracord. Its called Tough-Grid 550 paracord which has 7 inner triple strands (they seem thicker than the other cordage I use) as well as an 8th "tracer strand" which is thinner.
The first knot went fine but it took several attempts to get the second knot to seat against the first. I could not get a third knot. After numerous attempts the only thing I could think of that would make a difference was the thicker inner strands. I cut the melted tips of the paracord off and made the remaining knots with no problem. With the ends melted the thicker inner strands must have been binding up, preventing the knots from seating. With the open ends it let the inner stands twist freely, allowing the knots to seat. Hopefully this will help anyone using this heavier cordage.
Snake Knot Knife Lanyard Easy to Tie Tutorial. The snake knot is a really easy knot to learn to tie. If you want a decorative knife lanyard or key lanyard then this is a really good knot to learn. This knot is also especially goo for the beginner, as it is very simple and decorative at the same time."

I just got a new knife and was looking for a nice and well explained tutorial for a cool lanyard. Well done!
What is the copper tool in the advertisement frame of the video? I figure it's used to pull apart your knots. Thanks. I want to buy one.
Holy moly, ingenious. The repetition is priceless and essential for us bored 50-year-old adolescent American males playing with our knife toys. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
(Gasp!) I'll have you know I'm 36!😤 lol
And us 60+ knife ladies!☮️
@@pepperread1184 gasp! My lady!🤩
Excellent tutorial; thanks so much for sharing. Repetition is the key to teaching something like this, and you did it perfectly with this knot. I’m a clumsy old man, and even I was able to sit down and whip out a nice lanyard for my new knife. Well done! 👍
I bet I am clumsier than you!!! 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
very slow tutorial.but carefully demo will make virtually everybody understand how to do it.glad you make it slow.good lad👍👍👍
I've used this so many times over the years. A classic! Much appreciated! 💪🏼
Thank you so much! Really appreciate you continuing on to finish the lanyard. As a beginner, I very much needed the repetition! ❤☮️
Glad it was helpful! I assume you have a smartly dressed knife now?
I've seen tens of turorials and you sir made me successfully finish my very first snake knot lanyard! Thank you!
Glad that it turned out well for you. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank you! You are one of they few people that explained this knot clearly. One thing you should add - Don't melt the ends of the cord until after all the tying is done.
Yes, I too am not a fan of doing this, whenever I can I do try to tuck them out of sight. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Personally, whenever I can, I do try to tuck the ends out of site, Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I won't lie, your words made very little sense to me at first, but the speed you went and how clearly things ended up being shown without any stupid jump cuts, I was finally able to tie this bloody knot after so many failed attempts from other videos. Thank you so much
Glad that it worked out for you Jordan. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Tutorial Artist of the Century. I always head to you for the best walkthroughs. This knot is made so complicated by other knotters on here sometimes that I hated this knot, there is a forward and reverse...
Glad that you liked it Ryan. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I’ve watched 6 videos in the last 30 minutes on this. Yours is by far the best!👍 You did it slow enough with good loose loops that I can follow. Thank you
Thank you for that George. I wanted to try and create something that explains and teaches without too much speed. Sadly, I do get quite a few bad comments because of this. Anther reason is I created the channel to help me to remember some of them ;-)

Now that is interesting. I will copy your comment and add it to the description!! Thanks Aaron
Started tying paracord lanyard's for my knives from watching your video, thank you so much!
Every knife deserves a good lanyard, so that it stands out as yours 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thanks . Made one while watching your clip for small torch. Super clear instructions
Glad to hear that it worked well for you John. Nothing better than a fine lanyard on an item 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Great video thanks for sharing. Just made a new knife today and was looking for something to spice it up with and I really like this snake knot, super easy and it looks great. Thanks again 🙃🙂
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Best tutorial out there for snake knots on UA-cam. Excellent job mate!
Made one for you knife yet?
@@KnottingKnots not yet but I’m planning on it. 💕
I did this so many times but there was a gap for a while and forgot the second part. Always go back to your videos to refresh. Thanks
When I first started out, I found it a struggle to remember how to tie certain knots. Actually, this is how the channel started 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Every time he says knife all I can think of is "that's not a knife, THAT'S A KNIFE"
Nice tutorial, easy to follow
Would've been useful to know how much cordage is needed. My "lanyard" is now 18 inches long!
Lmfao! Man, that gave me a good laugh 😂
Are you for real?
@@michaelmostardi1327 it was a joke. Sheesh
Haahaa classic
Cut it and burn the end
Got my dad a swiss army knife for fathers day. Thanks to you it'll stay attached to his belt!
Yes, nothing worse than loosing a good knife! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Great video pal. Been struggling to do my first bead on my new mini bug out all morning. First time perfect with help of your video so thank you 😊
Glad that it worked for you! There is nothing better than having a smart lanyard and also knowing that you made it 😉 😉 😉
Finally found a good knot to tie as a lanyard. Was stuck on the hangman's knot for a while and tbh it just freaked people out. Thank you!
Actually the Hangman is rather nice, well in my eyes. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. You may also be interested in my Blog Posts here: igkt-solent.co.uk/blog/
Watched a few videos on how to do this and couldn't figure it out until I found your video. Thanks alot brother. Truly appreciated.
Glad that you got it!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
So a final thank you good sir, after watching your video about 20 time during said knot tying, I have finally left the nest ,and can tie this knot without looking your video up again. Tis sad that I may never hear you say " Mr.Buck! Or Nice and Tight.(could be a merch item) . Ultimately thank you for a wonderful tutorial that was my go to.❤
Don't gooooooooo! Come back for more 😉 😉 😉 I am guessing you have a smart knife now?
This is by-far the best tutorial on youtube on how to tie a snake knot .
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Do you now have a smartly dressed knife?
This is the best tutorial for this, especially after watching 10 or so videos. Thanks for making this!
Glad it helped! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I'm tying another Snake Lanyard for my knife. I think this is my 4th lanyard following your example. Thank you so much.
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Good to hear that you are making your knife nice and smart.
Truly appreciate your easy to understand directions, and that this makes a great looking and functional lanyard/rope from 1 piece of cord.
I have come back to this same video for a lot of the lanyards I put on my knives. Thank you!
Why not, it is a rather lovely way of decorating a knife. I personally use the 2 bight Turks Head on many of my lanyards: ua-cam.com/video/BElWOmPYNEA/v-deo.html
Hello Sir! Awesome and funny as usual! Specialy because of Your accent when You are speaking, I just love Your way of talking, I'm always laugthing when You say the word "over"... "Ouuva"... must be because I'm French and I do appreciate and well understand when You are explaining things! Thank You very much Sir, for sharing Your knowledge. Greetings from France ^_^
Hello France, glad you liked it geeza 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank you! I am terrible at tying knots. This looks so much better on my dog leash now haha
I want to thank you. Everyone else has a back twist with a toe balance and knife hand twist. Lol. Thanks!!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
I like tight knots too my man. Lanyards, shoelaces, balloons… tight knots all the time. Thanks for the tutorial
If a knot is dressed smartly, less chance of it coming undone 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank You! I appreciate your time and effort in this tutorial. I can now tie a snake knot…
Glad to hear that Delmer. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Very nice.
Thank you.
Watched others and just didn’t look good. But when you Lay it out on table, I got it.
Thank You Sir.
Glad to have helped. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank for this video. I had watched a few other videos but just didn't get it. With your video i got it immediately and had a lanyard made by the end.
Glad it helped! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
my Kershaw folder looks awesome with this lanyard on it thanks for the tutorial man I know ill be back to watch again when its time to make new one for a different knife. Cheers!
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action! Maybe for the next one, consider a Turks Head Lanyard? ua-cam.com/video/BElWOmPYNEA/v-deo.htmlsi=X3NmaYSoNak5YOTV
An excellent tutorial. Thank you. Really appreciate the repetition so we don't have to keep rewinding.
I do get a lot of stick from some people for blabbering on but, I think it is better to go slow, rather than put the work down to rewind. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Clear demonstration AND repetition. Great teaching technique. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I keep coming back to this video as you explain it so nicely. I thank you for posting. Much love from Houston Texas.
Hello Texas! Do you now have a smart looking lanyard for your knife?
Much love from a USN Boatswain's Mate. Your videos have been really helping me out making my Bosun' pipe lanyard.
Hello USN from ex RN. Glad to hear that you found some of my videos useful.
Wow! Great tutorial, thank you. Knot tying is usually confounding for me for some reason, but this one made it very easy!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
thank you I messed up first time but finally got it 👍👍love this lanyard . thanks
That is the annoying thing, some of these knots take a few attempts to get right. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Excellent instruction. It helped me a lot, thank you.
Do you now have a smart knife?
@@KnottingKnotsit look smart but i dont think its intelligence has increased any haha.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this in such a patient way. The much repetition helped immensely.
I started a long time ago to "over explain" as I have one subscriber who is blind. He and his granddaughter follow the videos, he listens and she watches. He ties the knot and if he goes wrong his granddaughter corrects him. A lovely little bond must be growing between them?
Thank you very much for super tutorial. I have watched 3 other but you are the only one who can help. Keep on
Glad it helped! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank You for this video! It;s nice that You took the time to do it slowly and over and over. made it very easy to learn! I made a lanyard while watching this vid for a deep carry folder that I got yesterday and it makes retrieving the knife a LOT easier. and on top of that it looks cool. Thanks again! :)
Are you able to show me any of your work, as I do love to see other peoples knot-craft or knotting solutions? You can drag and drop a photo here, please: bit.ly/yourknotwork
This was fantastic! Scary at times. Really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it! The big question now is, do you have a smart lanyard on your knife?
Hah, I did come back to your video for said tutorial, nice and tight.thanks again!
thank you sir, i put a nice lanyard on my new OKC-RAT7. added some metal skulls, looks killer.
hk93shooter Hi I ordered some skulls any videos or tips on how to attach a skull so it looks good? Thanks 🙏
@@jerseyjoe1677 i did the snake knot down 6 knots, then on the strait leg. or right side cord attached the skull.another 6 knots, skull, then another 6 knots. keeping them real tight.
hk93shooter awesome I’ll will try that thank you 😊
The diamond knot is a pain. This one is good . Thanks for explaining
Some knots come easy, whilst others are there to frustrate us. 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
This is the easiest way I've seen to do the snake knot. Thank you.
Great video. I made a Snake lanyard for my BUCK 486. Thank you for your instruction.
Are you able to show me any of your work, as I do love to see other people knot-craft? You can drag and drop a photo here, please: goo.gl/mQgf8E
I’m going to do my knives like this tonight, just ordered some orange paracord so looking forward to it, cheers mate
Let me know how you get on?
@@KnottingKnots will do! Thanks 🙏
Thanks, that knot is amazing :D And i understood every thing that you said, even tho my english is quite rusty. Greets from ice cold Finland!
Awesome thank you! I wish you would talk about lengths but i can spitball it. I did this on my twitch 2 and cadet and leatherman squirt ps4. Super fast! Way better than my old lanyard
Great video. Now my Benchmade Freek looks even better. Thank you sir
So glad that you have made it smarter. You can drag and drop a photo here: bit.ly/yourknotwork please let me know if you do?
So many other videos for this were very confusing. Your's is clear and simple. 😃👍Thank you so much!!! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
Johnny Debt I wrote a reply but don't know where it went. 🤔 I do both practical and decoritve knotting and am self taught by studying videos like yours and have become quite proficient at it and really enjoyed it thanks to generous people like yourself sharing your knowledge. I make Hindu and Buddhist prayer rosaries and the decorative knotting have upped my creations many fold. Practical knotting is great for fishing, camping, survival, and so many situations and scenarious. Even just a general knowledge of basic knot making is good to have. Some people are truly amazed at some of the simplest of knots I can make. It really is a great and very practical skill to have. I have a large knife collection as well and have embellished some of my knives with some cool lanyards. I am in US but am originally from India. Thank you again, so much, sir. 😃👍👏👏👏
Are you able to show me any of your work, as I do love to see other peoples knot-craft? You can drag and drop a photo here, please: goo.gl/mQgf8E
Johnny Debt Sure, I would love to. Give me a few days to get pictures together and I'll show you some of my stuff, friend! 😉👍🙏
Looking forward.
This was the best tutorial i found, you are worthy of my subscription 👍
Thanks Ian.............. see you around the bazaars in the future. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thanks for the demo, well done.Just want to say I have that same knife on my keychain for ten years now and don't have a problem with it, also I don't use it to cut cardboard or trash.
Did it on my first try. Now my knife looks like someone loves it.
Thanks, JD!
Nothing better than making a knife more personal!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Is there a photo of it available online, if not you could drop a picuture here: goo.gl/mQgf8E ?
@@KnottingKnots what is the thickness off the paracord?
@@Kraken54321 It is standard Paracord, off to measure it now................................... The piece I just grabbed out of my drawer, is just over 4mm. Hope that helps. You can use any thickness, within reason.
@@KnottingKnots many thanks. I will be buying a bushcraft knife in the not to near distant future. I want to make a small lanyard for it.
@@Kraken54321 Maybe make a short lanyard for every day purposes, but also include a loop at the end. This way you could clip it onto a longer lanyard attached to your waist. I just figure there even less chance of loosing it when not in use?
OK, your demonstration is finally making my konts all even lol......
only video straight foward, simple and easy. i am subscribing. others had shitty videos with stupid music kong introes, bad angle, horrible instructions. thanks budde
Glad to have helped out. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Finally, someone who shows this knot the easy way. Thanks!
tis always good to hear from people who have benefited from my videos. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Your EXPLODED veiw presentation made this knot a cinch, THANKS
Very straight forward teaching sir, even I could get it the first try. Thanks!
Nothing better than actually getting a good result. Do you plan this knot for your knife?
@@KnottingKnots Absolutely, I have this knot on several knives and an EDC pocket slip. It's simple and is handy to draw a knife even with a deep carry clip is in use, same for pocket slips. Cheers!
AFTER 10 TIMES I FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT.IM A SLOW LEARNER. THANKYOU MATE.
OMG!! That's funny
By far the easiest snake knot tutorial on the Internet
Wow! I'm dumb as hell and yet I did it! Super great instruction. Thanks
Glad that you got it. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thanks for this, I just put one on my Higonokami and it looks great :)
I just had to look that up, turns out that I have one in my collection. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Hello Mr. Debt, I'm back to your video again to make this beautiful knife lanyard for knife number 2. Thanks.
Wow, you were here nearly a year ago. What is knife number 2?
Buck 484
Was a big help i made a lanyard for my knife, thanks👍🏻
Glad that you got something out of this video.............. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Well done... Easy to follow along and complete a killer lanyard... Thank you sir!
Bravo, l'artiste! All your videos are excellent. You are definately a fantastic teacher!
Thank you! 😃 I bet you have a smart knife lanyard now?
@@KnottingKnots
Not only!
Thank you very, very much! The way you explain how to do all those knots, hitches and bends is actually awesome. I have subscribed your channel. I wish I had come across it before. Congratulations!
@@felipek6496 Would you say you are more of a practical or decorative knotter?
@@KnottingKnots
Practical knots. I love sailing, kayaking and camping as well. So knots, hitches and bends are crucial!
Best tutorial for a snake lanyard mate!!
Glad you think so!
Thank you for making this video! After watching I was able to make a nice snake knot lanyard for my survival knife sheath 👍
Is it the LMF II?
For length, start with 5 feet. That will give you 1 inch of space from the knife hole to the 6 inch knotted area (22 knots) with 3 inch tail pieces.
Many thanks for the information...............
🖐🏻🖐🏻's down this guy the 🐐 of teaching, showing how to tie this type lanyard knot..!!!!! He broke it down so simple... Other jokers on YT complicate shit outta it..!!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Absolutely love the tutorial. Put it on my mora companion sheath and it looks awesome. Thanks for the great video. 👍
Thank you for the informative video, I was able to make a nice lanyard for my knife with your help!
That is great, I love to hear when people use the vids for their own creations. Would love to see some of your work, any online to view?
Thank you!!! 3rd teacher is a charm😎
Thanks I just made a snake knot handle for a vintage soprano saxophone case.
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!
Exactly the knot I was looking for, thank you!
Gosh, I had really forgotten about this video, I did it many moons ago. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
Johnny Debt I'm definitely more practical. I can appreciate decorative knots, and have done at least one in a project solely as decoration. This lanyard was perfect for carrying an old zippo I have with a lanyard ring that I don't want to lose, while giving me an extra 8' of cordage.
I would love to see your Zippo, are you able to drag and drop a photo here: goo.gl/mQgf8E
Johnny Debt Aha! Figured it out. :)
Cool Video, I also use the snake knot lanyard, on all of the knives I make and sell.
Yes, it is a rather lovely knot and easy to master. Have you ever thought about a Turks Head Lanyard, it adds another dimension? ua-cam.com/video/BElWOmPYNEA/v-deo.html Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots being used!
Great job on the Paracord Snake Knot video. I watched a couple, and this one had a great view and explanation and I had it figured out in no time at all! Pleasant cheerful voice as well. Thanks JD!
OMG, I really hate that video, because of the knife!!! You will see in later videos I get better knives to play with. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. Are you a decorative or practical knotter?
Practical for me. My knives speak for themselves, just want to add some paracord for function and use. This one is more for having some spare rope and grip with a knife. Searching for a good video to show some strong knots to create a wrist size loop to wrap around for extreme knife cutting (as in some of my videos).
Nice and tight...do you have the simple handle wrap video by chance, love to see your explanation.
Do you mean something like this, when I modified a cheap hacking knife: igkt-solent.co.uk/cheap-hacking-knife-to-fine-rigging-knife/
Looks nice, however knife lanyards are really a functional use of cordage.
I prefer to make an adjustable version so you can slip your hand through a loop and draw it to cinch up to the hand.
Great looking lanyard for smaller knives where functionality is not needed 😊
This is the one that I use most often, it allows me to attach it to my wrist or attached to my belt: igkt-solent.co.uk/decorative-long-knife-lanyard/ Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Many thanks Big improvement and addition for my leatherman..
Nothing better than making a smart tool look even smarter!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
is it weird that while i find your videos interesting content-wise, the #1 main reason i watch your voice is just to listen to you talk lol. Having Ptsd, their is very little that calms me down, and some sounds/voices even trigger my ptsd and i go into panic mode. Your voice is well, for lack of a better term, soothing. the accent helps too.
Well thank you so much for saying that. Some people do actually leave comments and tell me to shut up. I do try to explain a lot as I have one person who is blind and he watches them with his granddaughter. He tries to do the knot and she helps him when he goes wrong. Just as an additional note, I too was diagnosed with PTSD in 95. It still haunts me, but not as much as it used to. Wishing you all the best.
How is life mate, just not heard from you for a few days?
Watch some old Bob Ross videos. Happy trees!
Thank you! Now my entire village can do this!
Thank you my friend, exactly what I was looking for.
Glad I could help, I assume you have a very smart looking lanyard on your knife now?
Thank you. Now, it's on to the next knot.
What knot do you think you will do next? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Excellent easy to follow for a dummy like me . Thanks
We are all dummies first time round and we get better with practice. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thanks for great easy to follow video , it got me going in the right direction. Thanks again
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Very cool idea for a lanyard. Thanks for the video
Are you going to make your knife look smart now? 😉 😉 😉
great video! That's a nice spike!
If you are interested in the tools I use, there is more information here: igkt-solent.co.uk/knotting-tools-video/
I have to disagree on the knife comment... IMO, this is the perfect backpacking knife. It's very lightweight, and cheap enough that losing it won't break the bank. It comes in THREE sizes, so you can dial in the prefect size for your kit. The lock back is much easier to use than a liner lock... Lastly, I'm not worried about carving wood with it, eating with it, or striking a fire steel with it; things I wouldn't want to do with a more expensive Spiderco or Kershaw, etc.. I started with the largest version of this Buck knife, and later bought the middle sized one, which I think is about perfect for backpacking. Now, excuse me while I add this lanyard to it... Thanks for the video.
I still have this knife, but it really is not for me. One of my favourite knives is a Hacking Knife, now that is totally designed to be abused. I did mod it to give it a hitched handle: You can see that one here: igkt-solent.co.uk/cheap-hacking-knife-to-fine-rigging-knife/
Bad ass dude thank you !!! Came out sweet. 🙏
Very clear and simple thank you 🙏
