EODMAN, The key fob you mentioned is a crown knot sennet I think.I usually keep one on my SAK's.They make it easier to pull them out of my jeans back pocket.I recently switched to the Chris Reeve knot though.It can be snugged up around the wrist so you don't drop your blade in the drink.I do agree,any place to carry extra line....

Thanks for the tip. I just made one up. It was easy. Now an even batter reason to carry about paracord.Less messy than winding it around the PSK tin....
Chris

Do you have a URL? I searched but couldn't find anything on the net about it.

I'm still lost <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. Are you sure that first link is the knot? I can't figure out how to make it into a bracelet. <img src="images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />.

No i'm not sure that is the knot, it looks similar. It could also be a square knot. The knot is repeated over and over to make a braid. I am really not sure how to terminate the crown knot to make it into a loop. If you use a square knot it will terminate into a loop. Try this link for a square knot, http://www.dfw.net/~jazzman/knotter/zippit.htmIf nothing else you can have some paracord zipper pulls. Sorry i'm knot more helpful on this, decoritive knots are knot something i've done alot of. If you have a good library near by you might want to stop in and see if there are any books on knot craft. Good luck.

Hi Ditchfield 1. Take a loop of paracord (what ever lenght you wish 10 feet would be nice) 2. Fold it in half so that both sides are equal in length. 3. Tie a simple overhand knot with the folded paracord at the looped end. - you should end up with a knot with a looped end. You can use this loop for the button to go through. 4. WIth the free ends of the paracord, tie square knots repeatedly (right over left, tie, then left over right, tie ) till you reach the end. 5. How you end is up to you. If you don't need a bracelet, you could just secure the ends with cable ties. If you want a bracelet, you can sew a button to the cable tie ??. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
6. Experiment and have fun. Adjust the knots and the tension to make it look nice if you want <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Quite a fun project. Who knows, you can make up some and sell them on ebay too and give the guy a run for his money!

Wow, it's so simple. What got me confused is you saying "square knot". We call it a reef knot in UK. Thanks very much.

My confidence was not well formed <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. What i've tied just looks like a bunch of knots (I know it is). It certainly doesn't look like the picture. What I tie, don't turn out like reef (square) knots, they turn out like lots of single knots. Any help? <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
