Not sure what chains you mean but there are often pocket watch chains on eBay. Might find something that works for you there. ::shrug:: ::tu::

I've got a "Ball and Chain" that's been attached to my legs for 27 years now .

Don't think it will work well on a pocket knife.

I put this lanyard on my paratrooper. It’s rather long as I used up the last of the leather I had. It has worn nicely.

This Spyderco McBee is only about 2 1/4" long closed. I made a little fob for it today. Makes it easier to find in my pocket.
