A lanyard is a cord , length of webbing , or strap that may serve any of various functions, which include a means of attachment, restraint, retrieval, and activation and deactivation. A lanyard is also a piece of rigging used to secure or lower objects aboard a ship. [1]

The earliest references to lanyards date from 15th century France: "lanière" was a thong or strap-on apparatus. [2] [3]

Bosun's pipe , marlinspike , and small knives typically had a lanyard consisting of a string loop tied together with a diamond knot . It helped secure against fall and gave an extended grip over a small handle.

In the French military, lanyards were used to connect a pistol , sword , or whistle (for signaling) to a uniform semi-permanently. Lanyards were used by mounted cavalry on land and naval officers at sea. A pistol lanyard can be easily removed and reattached by the user, but will stay connected to the pistol whether it is drawn or in a holster .

In the military, lanyards of various colour combinations and braid patterns are worn on the shoulders of uniforms to denote the wearer's qualification or regimental affiliation. [4] In horse regiments, lanyards were worn on the left, enabling a rider to pull a whistle from the left tunic pocket and maintain communication with his troop. Members of the British Royal Artillery wear a lanyard which originally held a key for adjusting the fuzes of explosive shells . [5]

The style, design or material used will vary depending on end-purpose of the lanyard. Lanyard materials include polyester , nylon , satin , silk , polyethylene terephthalate (PET), braided leather or braided paracord .

Lanyards are widely used with small electronic devices such as cameras , MP3 players and USB flash drives to prevent loss or dropping. Electronics designed to take a lanyard usually have a small through-hole built into a corner or edge of the case or anchored to the frame of the device; the corresponding lanyard generally has a loop of thread on the end that is attached to that hole with a simple knot, usually a cow hitch . Some earphones incorporate the audio signal into the lanyard, meaning it doubles up as headphone cords as well. The Wii Remote wrist strap is a form of lanyard, keeping the device attached to a player's arm during the often vigorous movements involved in its use.

Lanyards are commonly used to display badges, tickets or ID cards for identification where security is required, such as businesses , corporations , hospitals , prisons , conventions , trade fairs , and backstage passes used in the entertainment industry . Such lanyards are often made of braided or woven fabric or split with a clip attached to the end. A plastic pouch or badge holder with at least one clear side is attached to the lanyard with the person's name badge or ID card. Occasionally, small items like business cards, pens or tools can be placed behind the badge for easy access. Lanyards can also be used as keychains , particularly in situations where keys can easily be lost, such as gyms, public pools and communal showers.

In these cases, lanyards may be customised with the related name and/or logo of the event, business, or organisation. Lanyards can feature a variety of customisation techniques including screen-printing , Jacquard loom weaving, heat transfer , and offset printing .

Lanyards are also often attached to dead man's switches or "kill switches" on dangerous machinery, such as large industrial cutting or slicing machines; on vehicles, such as jet-skis or trains; and on exercise treadmills, so that if the operator suddenly becomes incapacitated, their fall will pull on the lanyard attached to their wrist, which will then pull the switch to immediately stop the machine or vehicle.

Some law enforcement officers and members of the military utilise specialised lanyards to keep sidearms from falling to the ground during missions. [7]

Many ID card lanyards have a built-in feature known as a "breakaway" closure. Breakaway lanyards release when pulled or when pressure is applied. This prevents choking or hanging. Lanyards with a breakaway feature are most often used in hospitals and healthcare clinics , schools , nursing homes , child care facilities, or factories that require employees to operate machinery.

Lineman lanyards are used by lineman utility and other workers to prevent falls, although similar straps are also used recreationally by mountain climbers. This type of lanyard will have a section of heavy-duty nylon strapping attached to a metal ring or carabiner which tightens around an attachment point. The strap may be a fixed length or adjustable, and will attach to the wearer to support them against a fixed object or pole. [2]

Certain lanyards are still worn on uniforms as decorations similar to an aiguillette or fourragère . Among these are the Orange Lanyard in the Military William Order of the Netherlands and the German Armed Forces Badge of Marksmanship .

A white lanyard has formed part of the uniform of Britain's Royal Artillery (RA) since the end of the 19th century. Originally a simple cord carrying a fuse key, the braided and whitened lanyard became the recognised distinction of a Gunner. [8] The distinction was extended to women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service attached to RA units during World War II . [9] Certain battalions descended from the Durham Light Infantry wore green lanyards to denote their past links with the regiment, whose uniform had a dark green Facing colour from 1903 onwards. [10] [11]

Royal Naval Rating wear a white lanyard when dressed in No 1 uniform, the origin of the lanyard was to carry a pouch of gunpowder for the cannon.

What's the point of a lanyard hole/attachment on a pocketknife that goes in your pocket? Not talking form, talking function.

The only way I can see it has some function is in the Case Backpocket because it is larger, goes into the backpocket and stands up right with the lanyard hanging out of your backpocket, and would allow you to grab the lanyard to pull the knife out instead of fishing around your wallet or having to pull both items out of your backpocket.

A true lanyard is a loop or other attachment intended to prevent you from dropping or losing your knife. It goes over your wrist or you loop it over your thumb and wrap it around your hand, or it is attached (on a long lanyard) to your belt.

A fob, on the other hand, is useful for pulling the the knife out of your pocket or keeping it from falling into your pocket if carried with the fob draped on the outside of your pocket (depending on how tight your pants are).

A third usage is just for decoration (which I call a tassel).

All three are perfectly valid uses.
I can understand the lanyard and fob as they have functions. A tassel, I just can't see.

It's for decoration. Nothing wrong with people wanting to do that. Multi-colored paracord, titanium or anodized beads. Not for me personally, but I do get the appeal it has for some people.

A lot of ingenuity goes in to making up lanyards and they're decorative.

That said, they don't interest me and on some small knives like the otherwise excellent GEC 83 lockback, the lanyard hole to me is absurd. Still, they're better than bails or shackles Try having them in your pocket, uh uh.:grumpy:

A lot of people also thrive on EZ-Open notches, even adding them to knives, they certainly have practicalities but they're a deformation to my eye. This is the great thing about Traditional knives: endless options, and opinions to match.

Thanks, Will

For a pocket folder, a lanyard hole, ring, or bail serve the same purpose. Really for a dummy cord to attach the knife to your body to prevent its loss.

Consider the scout pattern. Vast majority have bails for that purpose. Many owners remove the bail if they don't like them which is why so many vintage scout knives are missing their bails. With a lanyard holes on pocket folders, you can choose to use then or not with either choice requiring you to change nothing about the knife.
jc57 has it right. have had the same rawhide boot lace lanyard on my Western 854 utility for as long as ive owned the knife. about 43 years. many times i have needed both hands and a knife handy. think striping wire or tying knots and cutting rope. i can drop the knife, use both hands, and still have the knife at hand. no need to see where i put it down it's just hanging on my wrist.
Ever try to fish a knife out of the bottom of a pocket with work gloves on? A fob hanging out of the pocket makes things considerably easier, and an EO notch or a high-riding blade allows you to get a pinch grip to open it. Speeds things up a good bit if you need the knife a lot during the course of the day.

I carry my Delica without pocket clip
As it is a small and light and fall deep in the pocket, the lanyard helps to retrieve the knife and to pull it out of the pocket

I also like it on my small sebenza as it provide some grip extension

Those all look great! The Russell, the bone and bead fob and the Peanut! Which color scales are those on the Peanut? Whisky Bone?

Thanks jc57 for defining lanyard, fob, and tassel. I like having a fob on my traditional knive's lanyard hole. I carry them in a pocket slip and the fob helps with removing the knife from the slip. Plus, I like the appearance of a fancy knot and bead.
