Hoback Kwaiback with Paracord Lanyard and Snake Knots #hobackknives #paracordtutorials #fixedblade

In this DIY mini-series, I’m showcasing my favorite two paracord colors - goldenrod and acid purple. Both of them come with a diamond pattern which just makes them even cooler. These 550 Type 3 cords were made in the USA and brought to Europe by Knives and Tools dot com.

So I quickly grabbed five of my naked knives and dressed them up in these fancy new colors. I got two Spydercos, Two Cold Steel ones, and also this pretty amazing Hoback Kwaiback. This 5-inch-long fixed blade comes with S35VN steel, Upswept Tanto grind, and gorgeous carbon fiber scales. For this knife, I chose the goldenrod color, because the yellow cord and the deep grey grip have amazing synergy in my opinion.

Since this is a lightweight self-defense knife that I carry inside my waistband - I wanted to give it a sleek and minimalistic lanyard - so I went with 3 snake knots and no beads. But this helix pattern makes my lanyard look extra despite being very simple. If you wanna see all my lanyards come - check part 2 and part 3.
