Nothing to add picturewise to this thread, but One-eyed Jack is a great touch ... completes the look.
Is there a purpose for lanyard's on knives. Is it just for personalizing? Is it to aid in getting the knife out of your pocket? Like a pull tab, so to speak? I like the look of it, especially the skull, but curious about its purpose. Great looking knife!

Mostly looks but it does aid in pulling out the knife. Can also be helpful if you have a pack or bug out bag with a lot of stuff and want to locate the knife quickly.
Thanks! I'm not not that advanced yet.

I don't like pocket clips on folders so I use a lanyard for fast deployment
out of a belt sheath. Here is one I made for my CQC7.

The lanyards on my knives go around my wrist. You will not take my knife from me!

That's a good point; pocket lanyards can make it easy for a pick pocket to grab your knife. Even so - lanyards and beads really complete the knife.

Nice accessory for a knife, but they're not for me.

I had that knife and LOVED IT!!!!!!! I used it to pull staples out of a warrant and left it at the copy machine
I then went ahead and bought the same model but with the flat tip (for prying doors). I have found that in the 20 years I've been carrying a knife the only time I've use a tip was as a makeshift screwdriver or to stab random things like trees, fruit, the ground, or anything else of stupidity that I feel the need to ruin my knife for! A tonto blade (or half tanto like your knife) is a much better option then a straight point.
The new benchmade triage with no tip is AMAZING for police-work!

Agreed! It's my favorite benchmade. I'd love it in an auto, but the Triage auto is much thicker, I guess to accommodate the spring and mechanism.
